Hello Bev Yes, the links all work properly - and teh larger image shows clearly how the two colours in some of the pinchains stay in teh same position throughout.

[lace] Aha! So that' s what it is!
Many thanks to Jeri and Doris for an explanation of lace called Vieux Flandre, (but is really quite another thing). My instincts were right, but I had no way to confirm them. One more piece in the lace puzzle. Those 19th Century lace manufacturers sure have a lot of peculiar names to answer for. Merry Christmas to each Spider. It's lucky to have a Spider at Christmas. Gracefully remind your families how lucky they are! Patty - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Vieux Flandre
Lia Baumeister's Lace Identification book also distinguishes between Vieux Flandre (Old Flemish Lace) and a "so-called Vieux Flandre" made in Belgium. This 19th century version has a motif made with braids(they can be made with bobbin lace or they can be machine made) and they are put together with needle lace stitches. This is not the same as the 17th century Vieux Flandre , which has the following characteristics:made with continuous threads motifs mainly clothstitches lines in the motif are made by twisting the runners or the passive pairs no coarse thread background is short irregular plaits. In later laces, a regular ground, as that became more fashionable. This book Lace History and Lace Identification is available for loan from the IOLI Library. --- Doris O'Neill--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] EarthLink: The #1 provider of the Real Internet. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
re:[lace] Re: [lace-chat] Fashion/all black
LOL, Devon, your message was great fun. I'll fax you some $ for the enterprise, and I'll look for your snapshot in Gourmet, they'll be doing a review at Ruby Foo's - lace will gain yet another level of visibility to be sure. Cheers! Bev ps - a black wardrobe is v. useful. One can be casually dressed, but in an event-emergency (such as - attend the Official Opening *now*) not noticeably casual, can be made instantly to look more posh with the addition of a silk scarf, jewellry, or lace piece ;) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Number of stitches in an inch ........
Hi everyone In Pat Earnshaws book 'Needlelace' (Merehurst) on page 30, the chapter about Point de France The first chapter is about lace from Venice which was 'made with such fine thread that 6,000 of its buttonhole stitches occupied a space only 2.5cm (1") square.' I remembered this quote because I had been reading up on Point de France. I have started catalogueing a box of needlelace from the RKS collection and top of the box was some pieces of Point de France (XXVII century). Regards Dianne Derbyshire Preston (where it's raining) >I know that I have seen it stated somewhere that there are either 1000, or >10,000 or some such large number of stitches in an inch of Venetian Gros Point. >Does anyone recall which is the correct number and/or what book this >information is in? - Do you Yahoo!?

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL. especially Tamara who so kindly sent me the pattern for baby card , was hoping to get started on it over christmas will probably try with one arm as I cannot abide sitting doing nothing with my hands.

(She told me her name is pronounced to rhyme with Ice -- as in Clice.) In 2002, I took a lace identification course with Diane. She was selling a self-published booklet "Lace Identification Course" ($30 for 43 pages) which has a picture of her lace-making Grandmother on the cover. Vieux Flandres appears on the last page of text before the Bibliography. This is what it says: "From the end of 19th century. "Characteristics: "Not to be confused with the Flemish laces of the 16th & 17th centuries. "Combined lace of bobbin lace and needle lace. "The bobbin lace motifs are made in cloth and half-stitch with decorated holes. "Many motifs in tape lace are forming the flowers. "The ground is made of needle lace with a coarse hexagonal mesh. "This lace emerged at the end of the 19th century." A photograph accompanies the above text. A second booklet by Diane Claeys is "The Language of Lace in History" ($30). I do not know where they can be purchased. My advice is to buy self-published books when you see them at Lace events (if they contain information of interest), because distribution can be very limited.
