Apparently there was a demo/exhibit this year & an elderly gentleman showed how to do the finishing/starching. All very interesting as the lace and/or wire must be robust enough to maintain the fanciful shapes. There are also references to embroidered segments that are assembled with the lace motifs. What did you learn/make in the class? You are very lucky to have attended! It's certainly a class I would take if the teacher comes to the US, unless my friend drags me to Brittany first.

She assured me that the gorgeous chunky bobbins she was working with were specific to Tignes as well as the hooped pillows she was working on. There was also an exhibition on the development of Tignes as a ski resort due to the downturns of the late C19th and early C20th when the population headed away from the high valleys and farming and other industries such as lacemaking.

They used short stubby bobbins highly and interestingly hand carved. It is an area that is quite tourist centered and in modern years they produced a lot of wooden carved objects for tourists and bobbins were part of this for some time. The last time I tried to get one I was told that they had stopped producing them. I discovered them from an article in a lace journal ( I forget which, probably IOLI) some years ago, I was immediately fascinated by them. Brian and Jean From Cooranbong.

Re: [lace] Lace in Vietnam
Hello David, Thank you for you message. In Vietnam I saw needlelace near Dalat in the south. I don't find explanation. There is embroderies (des jours in french) in the north near Ninh Binh. And too traditionnal and wonderfull embroderies on dress in mountain in north and a little in the middle and in the south. It's from minorities people like Hmong. The best one is the Yao people. http://www.underthebo.fr/decoration-interieure-maison-asie/images/Mien_Yao_robe_YA79.jpg http://www.underthebo.fr/decoration-interieure-maison-asie/images/Mien%20_Yao_embroidery_YA73e.jpg http://storage.canalblog.com/60/59/684190/49228138.jpg I like this one too : http://storage.canalblog.com/60/59/684190/49228138.jpg In french, Hmong fleuris (flower). A little part is crossing stitch. The rest is sewing machine : braid and thread everywhere. You can't see the cloth. It's old machine with pedal. They don't have electricity at home. They work in piqué libre (sorry I don't know the translation. They don't use the pied-de-biche?) I saw a silk fabric near Dalat too, one time and a over one ten years after. Lots of difference with time. Dentelez bien Sof from France Le 12/06/2010 16:27, David C COLLYER a écrit : Dear Friends, I arrived home yesterday after a month in Vietnam with the usual load of stories and adventures. However, with regard to lace, I found no sign of bobbin lace, tatting or even crochet at all. In Saigon, I did see examples of Hardanger and Roman Cut Work - all of similar design and possibly from China. Silk is a major industry in Vietnam and there are the most wonderful embroideries and fabrics to be purchased throughout the entire country at remarkably inexpensive rates. The main centre for the silk industry is the small town of Hoi An - about 30km south of Da Nang. Whilst most of my Vietnamese language skills returned after a week or so there, I was having great difficulty trying to get folk to understand that I wanted to see where the silk fabric was actually made. Eventually I found a fabulous lesbian motor scooter rider who understood when I told her I wanted to see the silk fabric when it was white. She then kindly took me about 30km inland from Hoi An on the back of her bike at 7:00 A.M. to the village of Duy Trinh - Duy Xuyen in Quang Nam Province. In a small house I met a couple of about 60yrs of age who had 2 antiquated looms running. Now while I can never remember which is warp and which is weft, the woman explained that they were currently making a fabric which had the vertical threads of cotton and the horizontal threads on the shuttle were of silk. I asked if it would be possible to buy a spool of the fine white silk thread - not knowing whether she was under contract or how she obtained her thread, She assured me it was OK and so I got a large spool (about 12 [30cm] long and over 0.5cm thick) - more than enough for a lifetime or two, for the exorbitant price of US $2.50!!!

Re: [lace] How do you call?
What a very interesting answers for a simple question!! I read all with a lot of attention (and sometime my dictionnary) I agree with you Jane. For me honeycomb is a formation of stitches. When I learn honeycomb, my teacher in Bayeux ( Florence Quinette) said that I can use CTT.CTT but also CTCT or CTTT.CTT or a mix like CTT.CT for exemple. And when I make honeycomb sometime I don't use CTT.CTT. I think the same for roseground : you can use not only one stitch to make it. It's just a formation of stitches.

Cette nouvelle direction a pu conclure un accord avec le conseil municipal de la ville de Bruges et les propriétaires des locaux (la famille De Limburg Stirum). Il y a quelques mois encore, cela sannonçait très mal pour lASBL. Mais un groupe de brugeois décidèrent que le Kantcentrum ne devait pas disparaître. Ils ont été rapidement rejoints par un large groupe de soutien. Les professeurs, les stagiaires, le personnel (où une réorganisation devait avoir lieu, les postes fixes sont passés de 4 à 2) se réjouissent dun vent nouveau en poupe. Le nouveau Bureau de direction (avec le nouveau directeur délégué et homme daffaires Wim Decraemer, le président et journaliste à la VRT, la radio/télévision flamande, Nico Blontrock et membre du Bureau, le libraire brugeois Koen De Meester) a relancé des liens qui ont retrouvé leur place, des relations perdues par le passé et qui se sont renouées.

Re: [lace] Christmas lace gifts/French book
Hello, We spoke of this book, some years ago on arachne. It's a wonderfull book. The tittle expalin all the storie . In XIX century in pays bigouden a lots of people worked in fish. (fishermen and canning factory). There was a crisis in 1902 and no sardine in the ocean more than one year. People were hungry and deaded. So sisters teached irish crochet to women, children and men. Everybody did it. There is a lots of pictures about. After, it was very fashion in Paris and cheaper than bobbin lace. Golden age in belle epoque time. The Irish crochet made in Pays Bigouden was very nice and very thin. I read that there is just few differences between irish and bretonne technic. For the headgear : in pays bigouden it is famous. The old one (1900) is small : http://pageperso.aol.fr/tytudallelosq/cpa-page2.html It was made in tulle : run lace usually. After it was bigger and in 1933 : http://www.polytech.unice.fr/~nedelec/bzh/Coiffe/ it was the top after it don't move. It was embrodery on cloth (organdi in french). they cut it Few breton women putted irish lace. The most was sell. Some one are in net (like small fish net) and embrodery on it or run lace on it : http://filetsbleus.free.fr/costume/costumesociete.htm http://www.bigouden.com/jeunesse/laennec/costumes/45/pencoif.htm This is the book : http://patch.canalblog.com/images/Img0002.JPG In the past they didn't make bobbins lace in Bretagne. When people had money someone bought mecanic lace not very usually. Sof in France with fog bevw a écrit : Hi Janice I think your book title translates on Of (about) the fish crisis and (to do with) the golden age of lace - quite a few laces were developed to give some income to fisherfolk at a time when the primary resource of fishing wasn't viable. Rosaline lace from the Netherlands comes to mind. Possibly the crochet technique was developed for the same reason - if they needed a quick lace that would sell; Rosaline too is quick to make if many people are working at motifs and others assembling the motfis into collars and cuffs for sale. I also think that there was a variety of techniques used to make the characteristic head-coverings, depending on who designed them and where precisely they originated in Brittany.

I was unaware that Irish crochet was made in Brittainy but that is what it looks like from the book. There were also 3 postcards enclosed in the gift with pictures of the headgear they wear in Brittainy so now I am wondering if that headgear was actually crochet and not bobbin lace as I always had imagined.

Hi, Yes, Limerick, Coggeshall, Lier tape laces are similars. The difference is on the style and some stitches are more use or not. I readed that Limerick tape lace came from Coggeshall who came from Luneville (in East France). In Luneville now, they don't use tulle. There is run lace in Limerick and in the past in Lier too. Not now. To learn 2 good books for me : Embrodered machine nets Limerick and worldwide by Pat Earnshaw.

Re: [lace] leaves
Hi Everybody, Tess Parrish a écrit : I have been making leaves in the Brioude style for quite a while now. However, I can't bring my right thumb over to pick up the bobbins. ( This has to do with what must be arthritis in the thumb joint.) So, when I turn my right hand over to pick up the bobbin, I grasp it with my two first fingers, not using the thumb at all, and it seems to work just fine. Also, I hook my little fingers around the outside threads of the leaf to hold them taut. I think I may remember that in Brioude they used the first two fingers to hold those threads, but since my thumb is useless I have had to switch things around a bit. I hope this makes sense and helps a bit. I always make my leaves as you explain (if I well understand) : turn my handshakes, take the bobbin with my thumb. The secret in Brioude to make wonderfull leaves is at the final when you tighten : they press 2 bobbins of each side and make little movements with the handshakes to put the thread in a perfect position. With this technic, you have a little edge on each side of the leave. Adele Shaak a écrit : I've been following this discussion in some bewilderment because I could have sworn there weren't any instructions in my Cluny de Brioude book that involve strange and difficult thumb movements. I've just looked again - still can't see anything. Is this mysterious thumb movement something you heard in a Cluny de Brioude class, or is it in the book and I've missed it? I never see this movement in a book. I learn it in le Puy and after with Magali Deboudard (she works one year in the conservatoire de Brioude) Margot Walker a écrit : What they show in the book looks like any other standard leaf. But the hand motions are different, as we learnt in the Cluny de Brioude class in Montreal. I found it impossible to do using East Midlands bobbins. They just weren't big enough to pick up between my thumb and side of my hand (with the palm facing upwards). But I never thought of trying to pick them up using the first second fingers. I'll have to give that a try. I make my leaves like this with all kinds of bobbins and pillows. Just some time I can't throw with my thumb (like when you play marble) the voyageur : bobbin who move to make the leave (sorry, I don't remerber the english word).

Re: [lace] Battery operated bobbin winder
Hello Faye, J have one since I think 4 years. I am very satisfied with this winder. Many friends of mine bought one too. I use just a little midlands bobbins but my ones are very slims too. My thread is very well place and quickly. I use what we call a chouchou in french to fix them : a hair elastic. You can change the speed and the rotation direction. Dentellez bien Sof in France with sun Faye Owers a écrit : Hi Lacemakers, I would like to ask a question of the group. Do any of you have the battery operated bobbin winder that is sold by Langendorf, and if so, is it is suitable for Midlands bobbins? Does it work well ? It looks like it is only a small unit and ideal for my needs and a cheaper alternative to the more expensive electric units available. I would appreciate any advice that you have.
