Dear Friends,
I recently completed a delightful piece of Bayeux Lace called "Raie
de Coeur". I had to make it because my big sister's name is Raie.
Having done a bit of searching it seems that this term Raie de Coeur
was given to a design of cornice common in the days of Louis XVI, and
means something like divided hearts. What I am wondering is whether
the expression is used at all today, and what the most common meaning
of the word Raie is? Could it be the equivalent of the English
"broken hearted" perhaps? I suspect not.
Many thanks
David in Ballarat
