"It does look Spanish, but I have no ideas about more specificity. The overall photo - #5 - is just too repetitious for beauty."

"I agree that the motif shapes of the 3rd example is very much like Blonde of the 1st half of the 19th century. The other 2 examples don't give me any certainty, unfortunately. The green stars are near connections which may be motif threads…"

Lorelei Halley Administrator replied to Devon Thein's discussion Blonde in 18th century-Spanish in the group Identification-History

"As to Devon's question, I don't see any reason to think the piece is 18th century. The motif shapes don't look like what I've seen from the 18th century. I think your date is much more likely. But there are places where it looks…"

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY

I am resolving to finish 2 projects I have set up. One is a Binche learning piece, which is quite difficult for me. I am intimidated by it. The 2nd is a floral Bucks which I intend to decorate a purse. (Enlarged and worked in thick thread so it will hold up to use) This one also intimidates me.

I just received the message below, and it looks like spam to me.
Can you inform me about mr. James Pollard? Thanks!

Good Day,

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on ( mr.jamespollard100@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
