I was just re-reading the November newsletter, and my curiosity was piqued by Gail's article about the Dresden (Connecticut) Laceworks and the lace sample book at the Connecticut Historical Society. When I first read the article, I must admit I assumed it was handmade lace, but on their website there are a couple of blog posts, and what looks like a pattern for machine made lace. 

Here is the blog website http://chs.org/2014/10/william-blores-lace-pattern-book/
