Hello All--Thank you Tess for posting the photos!! Your friend has some interesting pieces. L-o-v-e-d the lattice work!! I had never heard of this technique until I attended a CQ event in LaBourboule, France. The teacher was Romanian & had recently moved to France. She spoke French & Romanian but only a little English. Almost everyone else in class was French & my command of the language was limited to high school & college classes. Thank goodness for a charming Italian gal, Bianca, who spoke Italian, French & English! We learned the "basic" cording & made a small flower, but I have since found out there are other types of crocheted cording for different motifs. A friend has also shown me how to make beaded cording to add some sparkle. There are a number of books on the subject as I've seen them in the book store at EGA seminar & classes have been offered as well. I've kept my collection of Romanian notes & shared them with several EGA gals, one of whom I will be s eeing tomorrow. I downloaded the posted photos to my flash drive so will take it along to amaze her too! What's really funny is, after moving to Erie, I needed some alterations & the sales staff at Talbot's recommended a lovely gal. When I found out she was Romanian & had emigrated here about 20 yrs ago, I asked if she made the lace. You should have seen her expression!! No one in Erie had ever asked to see her work. I got the grand tour--framed pieces, mats on the piano, dining room table, in the foyer & beyond. What a treasure & I didn't have to wear white gloves! To Clay--so glad you were able to get the chocolate covered Key lime pie on a stick. You go girl! Sincerely, Susan in Erie, where I'm making glow-in-the-dark Halloween pillow cases for a quilt guild fund raiser. I'm done in.
