Bizzilla Doily Information
The craft of bizzilla (or lace) has been mastered in Malta by around the middle of the 17th century. Maltese lace is a direct descendent of Genoese lace although it developed its own character, often including the Maltese Cross design.
One of the most recognizable traits of Maltese and Gozo lace is the creamy, honey coloured, Spanish silk from which most of it is made. Another important distinguishing feature of Maltese and Gozitan lace is the 8 pointed 
Maltese crosses that are worked into most, but not all of this lace. These crosses are done in what lace makers call whole or cloth stitch.
The last of the most recognizable features are the leaves known as “wheat ears” or “oats”. They are plump and rounded in shape compared to the long narrow Bedfordshire lace leaves.
Traditional Malta and Gozo-made doilies usually incorporate all these features and this is what makes them so unique compared to other lace products.
