to Lace list, bobbi...@yahoogroups.com, bobbi...@googlegroups.com, Bobbinlacemaking
I just found out that my GGG Gma was from Alsace-Lorraine, France back in
1830s. I like to make and research laces that come from the places my
ancestors grew up. Not that they were lacemakers themselves. I don¹t
recall my family coming from a line of lacemakers. I feel isolated HAH. I
have brushmakers and farmers in my family.
Anyhoo......wonder if any of you knowledgeable lacemakers know what kind of
lace that was being made in the Alsace-Lorraine area in 1830s or before.
Would like to know the kind of pillows, bobbins, lace type so that I can
maybe replicate something for future display. And just out of my own
satisfaction of knowing how to make it. ;)
Thanks in advance!
