Pam Harris Collection


Born in 1885 in Nebraska, USA, Macie Alice Heater, the lacemaker, born in the family Heaters, that came to America from Germany as mercenary soldiers during the Revolutionary War. They stayed in America and worked as coal miners and some as farmers, mostly in Pennsylvania and Nebraska.

She lived nearly 90 years and during that time moved from Nebraska to Idaho to Seattle and finally Santa Fe, after New Mexicowhere she remained until her death.

She was a superb seamstress and used her skills to make most of the family clothes. Nothing was ever wasted and in these pieces she were many bits and pieces of laces - some hand made and some commercially made. She sew, embroider, look for the garden and cook. She was skilled at them all. She was also very skilled at crochet.

These pieces of terneriffe are from Pam Harris Grammie's old steamer trunk that remained at Santa Fe.


Pam believes the only time she would have had the luxury of time to create these lace pieces would have been between 1899 - 1904 or between 1930 - 1945. Except for these short periods and the years spent in Santa Fe, 1945 to her death, her life was very difficult and her energies most likely went into work and survival. For a broader date we can use 1899 to 1945.
