Susan, Have you done a literature search from good academic sources? Santana Levy's "Lace, a history" would be a good place to start. I have a whole bibliography at home that Helen Bell and I put together for our local lace guild (Lacemakers of Puget Sound). I could send it to you if you're interested.
