For those who love hand made lace.
For discussions of lace history and lace identification. You can post a photo into a comment box for a lace you want to discuss. Bobblin lace history. About historic lace. Kinds of lace. Distinguish types of lace.
We can identify a piece of lace for you, but we need good detail. At least one photo with this kind of detail is necessary. Otherwise we are just guessing. A shot of the whole thing is useful because that shows us the style. Style gives us clues to date and possibly geographical origin. But we need the detail shot to tell us how it was made.

THE KOON COLLECTION
The Koon collection CD is a collection of images from the Eunice Sein Koon
Collection of Lace donated to IOLI by Ms. Koon. Ms. Koon was the editor of
Lace Craft Quarterly and a collector of lace. It is not related to the
Minnesota collection to the best of my knowledge. The CD is a series of
Powerpoint slides organized as the collection pieces are numbered. There
are approximately 100 pieces of various types of lace in the Koon
collection. Pictures from the CD could be copied and pasted into another
Powerpoint presentation, or the images could be used to request pieces of
lace from the collection for study by IOLI members. Policy for use of this
lace is described on p. 58 of the IOLI Member Handbook. -- Jo Ann Eurell
LACE STUDY BOX
The IOLI - Internation Organization of Lace, Inc. has a study box of lace fragments that members can borrow.
(I am searching for a link)
IOLI also has a lending library for members' use

Van Sciver Bobbin Lace stocks all these. The 2 LePuy books are closest in style. http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/1Books.html#Bedfordshire

Thanks! I looked him up and found his books under Mick Fouriscot. =D =D
Well, if you want to learn to make it, i would recommend some of the books that cover the French style of plaited laces. I think it's Michael Fouriscot (hope i have that correct), who's authored a number of books on Cluny and Le Puy laces, and Cluny de Briode. They'll most likely be all in French with no english translation, however they are so well written that you should be able to figure out the lace from the diagrams, if you have some bobbin lace skills. There are also a number of pattern books from the Hotel de la Dentelle, which don't really have any instructions, but they do have lots of attractive patterns. Hope this helps.
Two books I use a lot are Guide to Lace and Linens by Elizabeth M. Kurella, and The Identification of Lace by Pat Earnshaw.
Thanks! So are there any books or resources you guys would suggest to learning something similar to this?
Karla: I agree with Helen. This kind of work is very popular with Spanish lacemakers. In structure and technique it is similar to Cluny, perhaps derived from it. I've taken to calling it "continental guipure", meaning a braid based (plait based) straight lace. It is often worked fairly coarse in scale, and is used for household decoration.
Karla, it looks to be a French design, and the worker is doing it continental style with the footside on the left. Even though it's got a 9-pin head like Bedfordshire lace, it's not English. It's a pretty pattern.
What kind of bobbin lace is this? http://encajerasdebolillos.blogspot.mx/2012/10/detalle-visto-en-el-...
You are right, there is not a lot of lace, but earlier this month the L.A.C.E IOLI group I belong to here had a special showing of costumes that were trimmed in lace at the Henry Gallery for our meeting. It was very interesting and they showed us how they had put the entire collection on the website.
I did a little exploring in the Henry's collection. Frustrating regarding lace, but interesting in that they have several examples of Czech and Macedonian traditional clothing from the late 19th c (something I enjoy seeing).
