~~~ Here is a quote: Pillow lace may be regarded as an invention of the 16th century. Made in the first instance at Genoa, it spread rapidly throughout Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and Sweden. Much later on, the work was introduced into Slavonic countries and South America; in recent years it has extended eastwards, notable to the Islands of Crete, Candia and Ceylon and to Madras in India."

~~~ Something to think about: This is now the time of year for the creative people to work on their sewing, needlework, crochet, knitting, embroidery, bead and other arts/hobbies. I find, for myself, that now is playtime prior to the holiday rush for my hobbies and that this playtime dwindles dramatically during the rest of the year. If we don't play now we might not have many opportunities before this time next year...
