<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1950480, member: 13464&quot;]Golly, you have goodies! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p>*1 and 2. Definitely hand made crochet. Conveniently, meant to resemble &quot;handmade filet&quot; which I discussed in yesterday&#039;s lesson. This in a much larger scale than I posted - but the effect is similar. So a good choice for you to post for comparison&#039;s sake! Yes, it is most definitely considered lace. </p><p>*3. Yes, I&#039;d call it a doily or mat. It &quot;looks&quot; like the lace is upside down - no matter really; as it is definitely machine made lace; meant to mimic bobbin lace.</p><p>*4 and 5. Cute little apron! It has machine embroidery and drawn work on the fabric and has, most certainly, machine made &quot;Valenciennes&quot; style lace on the edges.</p><p>#6-9. Cute little cutwork and Battenburg/Battenberg mat. This piece is probably a combo of hand and machine work. The lace tapes around the outside are machine made; then basted together with hand-done &quot;faggotting&quot; and fancy stitches. The fabric interior probably has machine worked design elements; then the fancywork is added by hand and the fabric beneath cut away (either before or after the hand work - hard to tell from here.) It was undoubtedly an export piece - very possibly from China; more modern.</p><p><br /></p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
