<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 5438375, member: 13464&quot;]I think I would call this a form of &quot;Tambour&quot; lace work. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever seen it with a backing fabric before. Interesting. I suspect it is machine worked.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tambour lace refers to a family of lace made by stretching a fine net over a frame and creating a chain stitch using a fine hook to reach through the net. If you google &quot;tambour lace&quot; - you will see examples of &quot;tambour lace&quot; which is a chain stitch worked directly on a netting and &quot;tambour embroidery&quot; which is a chain stitch worked upon fabric. You seem to have a hybrid of both. I think it is very effective! I like it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Without seeing the back, I can&#039;t be sure that it is machine made. If it is machine made, that would date it to probably no earlier than the late 1800&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheerio, </p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
