<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 11149614, member: 13464&quot;]Here we are again with some new pretties! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Hi [USER=95638]@808Beachbum[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, #1 -#2 are hand assembled &quot;Battenberg/Battenburg&quot; tape lace. Very popular - late 1800&#039;s to 1920ish. There is more information about this type of lace in the &quot;Lace Lesson #17/#18. Ultimately, machine made tapes are basted to a pattern and then the spidery connections between the tapes are hand applied. </p><p><br /></p><p>#3 - #4 is hand white work with handmade bobbin lace - circa late 1800 - early 1900. General information about bobbin lace in Lace Lesson #6 and also in Lesson #9.</p><p><br /></p><p>#5 - #6 is absolutely darling! I love it! I can see why the &quot;picture&quot; of the kitchen still stays in your mind! The bluebirds look painted with embroidered details! SWEET! and the lace is beautifully executed crochet lace...and probably is mimicking a bobbin lace design.</p><p><br /></p><p>#7 is a machine made bobbin lace and can&#039;t see clear enough to determine if the embroidery is hand done or machine. I&#039;m wild guessing &quot;machine&quot;. Probably a piano topper or pillow cover (which they put over the pillows during the day, so any weekday soil wouldn&#039;t show between washdays).</p><p><br /></p><p>#8 - 9- and 10 a machine made bobbin lace style tablecloth</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall some very nice pieces! Enjoy them and thanks for sharing with us!</p><p>Cheerio! Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
