Re: [lace] David's Toender and point ground leaves and cucumbers
Hello Leonard ..and page 30 shows the lovely Paisley Pear lace (from Northampton Museums collection) with the Pear outlined with tallies. I would like to add my compliments to David on a beautiful piece of work - I love the photograph of work in progress which shows you have 'everything' to hand - telephone, remote control - ah a dedicated lacemaker ;o) Regards Diana in Northamptonshire - Original Message - From: Leonard Bazar leonard...@yahoo.com To: l...@dont.panix.com Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 5:58 PM Subject: [lace] David's Toender and point ground leaves and cucumbers Dear Lorelei Cucumber tallies were used quite frequently in 19th century Bucks point. It is used, for example, as a filling with columns of cloth stitch on the scarf illustrated on the front of Art, Trade or Mystery published by the Lace Guild (now out of print, I fear). The scarf is owned by the Guild and thought to be the work of the Midland Lace Association. Northampton Museum has the pricking, which is on the back cover. The Bucks point motifs applied to machine net illustrated on page 46 seems to have them used as leaves/petals in a filling in the flower centre, but it's difficult to see, and quite frankly the lace shows why people turned to fully machine made... On the other hand, on page 8 there is a photo of 18th century E Midlands lace with torchon ground with a daisy filling using leaf tallies. I suspect that point ground workers then just used patterns chosen because someone liked them, and worked them as best they could, using fillings they liked or found easy, and happily took inspiration (copied) anything from anywhere they liked the look of! Rather as David seems to do... quite right too! Especially with such marvellous results. With thanks to David for sharing it, and Julian for broadcasting it.. leonard...@yahoo.com Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 23:23:49 -0600 From: Lorelei Halley Subject: [lace] David's lace David A beautiful piece. the design is interesting. I wouldn't expect leaf tallies and cucumber tallies in English Bucks point. But they have slipped into the Danish version. Very interesting. Has anyone else seen this combination of elements in other Toender pieces? Lorelei - - - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Freak Accident
Some one was trying to get in touch with Linda Sheff. Linda's e-mail was sent to a NELG member I'm passing the news on. Linda visited me here in Estonia in 2005 I know what it's like to have a broken ankle have to use crutches. Linda wrote: I fell on Jan-03-09 and sustained multiple fractures to my ankle. It was a freak accident in Argentina, the day before our cruise around Sth. America. I was jostled on the top of the bus steps and my bags shifted I lost my balance. My foot went straight down (because the steps were a spiral staircase with the door closing mechanism pole in the center at the bottom). My foot ankle were pinned between the pole the edge of the hydraulic wall when I pitched forward, the bones snapped. The bus line took me to a trauma clinic where they put an old-fashioned plaster cast up to my knee then I sustained a secondary fall on the ship displaced bones. When I came home I had surgery with plates and screws realignment of bones (morphine every hour) stayed in the hospital for 3 days. I am now still in a non-weight-bearing cast on crutches. What a mess. I am finally back to full days at my office but really tired by 5:00 pm. You really know you're over 60 overweight when you use crutches! I can't drive, am dependent upon DH (you can probably guess how that goes) others for everything. I will be in a cast until sometime in May. If anyone wants to write to her, send an email to lindamsh...@hotmail.com mailto:lindamsheff%40hotmail.com. I'll probably be sending her something to cheer her up.

[lace] Swedish Lace Identification
Dear ID experts, Lori, Lace Fairy, has asked me to send this to Arachne for identification (she is unsubscribed). Jeri Ames in Maine, USA Jeri, I could use a little help in identifying this lace. Could you forward this to Arachne? Could you please help me identify this lace? It comes from Sweden and is about 100 years old possibly. The images are large in order to see better, so beware if you have slow internet connection. _http://lace.lacefairy.com/Arachne/What_is_it.html_ (http://lace.lacefairy.com/Arachne/What_is_it.html) Lori Howe lacefa...@roadrunner.com **Need a job?
