[lace] Modern vs Tradtional

Hi all, You will know that I am not a lace maker, but in my patchwork hobby life, we are experiencing the same slow evolution away from traditional patchworking. When it first started happening I "blamed" artists taking over our hobby, but now I see that it is a generational trait. We are

[lace] Traditional and modern lace.

I started making lace in 1970, and in 1980 I started to learn Bucks point lace from Marjory Carter. I joined a week long course with her for several years. She was a wonderful teacher, and I enjoyed every minute. She certainly believed that Bucks point should always be traditional in design and

[lace] Beiderman and Kliot
