<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1963562, member: 13464&quot;]My last post for the evening. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many of you may be familiar with &quot;The Lacemaker&quot; by Jan Vermeer. You may not know that this was his wife Katrina; and that he painted a near identical painting of his daughter - wearing the same dress - and working on the same lace pillow - undoubtedly working on the same piece of lace. Because of the petite size of this pillow; the lace was probably not very wide. It was undoubtedly &quot;Flemish&quot; in design and structure; we&#039;ll discuss that some other time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246656[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Then, in contrast, we have this whopper of a pillow. Even though the finished lace must be quite coarse (as it is SO visible)... it still required a huge number of bobbins. I don&#039;t happen to know the country of origin of this photo - sorry. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]246655[/ATTACH] </p><p>Sweet dreams,</p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
