Re: [lace] Turn over stitch

2017-09-19 Thread Carol 
Ah ha!  Thank you Alice. My brain was in overdrive trying to figure out how/why 
to turn a stitch over!  Once again different names for the same process tripped 
me up.  Thanks for sharing your knowledge..

[lace] Turn over stitch

2017-09-19 Thread lacel...@frontier.com 
The Turn Over Stitch is CTTC.  This is used when two colors meet and you want 
them each to return the way they came rather than crossing through the stitch.  
If you need to put a pin, you can CTTpinC.  In point ground, you would put a 
pin under the stitch.  In many cases, no pin is used.  Just tension carefully.  
It's a stitch that's usually not needed if you work in a solid color.

However -- CTTC is handy if you want to trade two pair, like switching the 
workers with a passive pair because your workers are running low on thread.

I ran Kant through the collection search and this was the result
http://erfgoedinzicht.be/collecties/?q=kant=gallery=horizontal
It says there are 1342 pieces of lace, although this may be in different
museums.  I don’t recall that the lace at the Flax museum was all that
exceptional, though.

[lace] Flax and Lace Museum in Kortrijk

2017-09-19 Thread Jeri Ames 
Subject was changed, so it will be easier to search in Arachne archives for
Lace in Kortrijk.
 
Could someone share a web site where those who do not travel can see the laces
in the Lace Museum in Kortrijk?  All I found was tourist bureau stuff.  
 
Everyone should be able to see a few of the exhibits that were in the old Flax
and Lace Museum in Kortrijk.  It was wonderful. 
 
Greet,  Does the new museum have a web site?  Is there a book about the lace
collection in Kortrijk?
 
 
For those with a scholarly interest in production of linen thread, there is a
large 1987 book, still available, written by Bert Dewilde, who was connected
to the old Flax and Lace Museum in Kortrijk.  Title:  Flax in Flanders
Throughout the Centuries: History, Technical Evolution, Folklore - ISBN 90 209
1498 7, in English, art book size, 216 pages, many photos.  It should be in
the libraries of lace museums.  The Lace Museum in California has it.

[lace] Lace Family Tree

It would be nice if the Lace Family Tree was in digital form, but from what I
am hearing it sounds more likely that it isn’t even at the Flax Museum in
physical form anymore. However, Lyn Bailey has unearthed a photo of it that
she took in 2009 and I just posted it to the IOLI Facebook page

SV: [lace] IOLI Magazines - a Review Flax www.worldlacecongressbrugge2018.be

2017-09-19 Thread Greet Rome-Verbeylen 
Dear ladies,

The Flax Museum in Kortrijk changed and renuwed in 2015.
Please have a look at our lacetour programm for next year:

www.woldlacecongressbrugge2018.be :
click on "Lace tour"", then on  "Kortrijk", click and you will find more 
information about the new Texture museum.
It is now more focused on linen and the flax history and less on lace.
But for next year they are planning to make a big lace exhibition again.

Please consider to join us on  the "lace tour" next year. So you can discover 
more exciting places.
You will not regret it.

Greet,  from a sunny Belgium.

Ämne: RE: [lace] IOLI Magazines - a Review Flax

I am dragging DH to Belgium next year, and plan to show him the Flax and Lace 
Museum.  I was there with my son Tom in 2009, and it knocked my socks off.  I 
understand the museum has moved from out of town to central Kortrijk, so I'm 
sure the displays will not all be the same.

Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where the temperature is pleasant, shorts 
weather, no rain, but far too many clouds.  And my Newfoundland dog has cancer, 
had a leg amputated, and now isn't eating.

I never saw the old museum but Vernon and I visited Texture on our way back
from Krakovany earlier this year, it is an amazing place and well worth a
visit. Watch out for all the pigeons, they are everywhere and you can even
buy one to take home with you.

Re: [lace] Belgian color code

2017-09-19 Thread Susan Roberts 
Dear all

I did Chantilly year 1 at the Kantcentrum in July this year, Lieve Pollet uses
turquoise for pairs that are carried with the gimp in Chantilly.  She did say
it wasn't part of the official colour coding.  It does make it clearer that
the pairs aren't thrown out which it would appear if a line just stopped. I
had no problem telling turquoise from blue or green, orange (cttt) from red
(ctct) in the ground on this lace was a totally different story
