Take a step back in time to the 1880s! The instructions for this delicate lace edging originally appeared in a weekly household column, "The Fireside", which was written by Lydia Scott and ran in a Manchester, New Hampshire, newspaper from 1881 to 1884. In addition to instructions for various projects and recipes, the column offered information and advice on health, fashion, and housekeeping. This edge is perfect on bed linens.
