Sorry for the failure to get it right in the first place! ----- Original Message ----- Sprigging or Springging [Sprigging] Lace So called because it was like a spring [sprig] or spray. It is fine embroidery on white linen. Some distinctive figures were shamrocks or daisies with stems and buttonholes. Worked in satin thread on linen, the pieces were usually finished with a scalloped edge in Co. Down and a crochet edge in the Clones area [Co. Monaghan/Fermanagh]. Patricia
