Hi All

Mary Corbet's embroidery blog
https://www.needlenthread.com/2021/01/early-modern-embroidery-lace-pattern-bo
oks.html
  has a useful link in it today to an archive of publications from the
1500s into the 1800s on the subject of embroidery and lace patterns.

I have that book too.  I will show it to my student and see if she wants to
buy a copy of it.


Thanks for reminding me about it.

Yes I bought Jeans book of bookmarks they have Thistles,Roses,Daffodils and
Shamrocks?  I made the Rose one for my sisters birthday haven't got round to
making the others yet.  They are all very pretty and made using Bedfordshire
techniques.  I don't think they are for the absolute beginner but Jeans
General instructions are really good .

Re: [lace] Irish Lace Pattern

[lynrbailey]

Jean Leader's Book, A Thistle, A Rose and a Daffodil also has a pattern in it 
for a shamrock bookmark. It's not a truly Irish design, but if shamrocks aren't 
Irish I don't know what is.  Holly sells it for 19.95.

Re: [lace] Irish Lace Pattern

[Adele Shaak]

Lorri: I’m wondering if maybe your student means a knotwork “Celtic” pattern, 
since that what we see associated with Ireland so often, rather than a BL 
pattern that was traditionally made in Ireland.

[lace] Irish Lace Pattern

[Lorri Ferguson]

I have a student that would like a bobbin lace pattern for a bookmark that is
a typical 'Irish pattern'.

I know BL was not a prevalent as other laces, but the student wants a BL
pattern.  If there is not a bookmark pattern then an edging or insertion
pattern would do as we can create a beginning and end.


Thanks in advance for any help you can give us.

[lace] Looking for assistance on bobbin lace pattern

[Valhalla Bee Farm]

Good morning, all.

Seems like I contact this list only when I need something.
Sort of like the child only phoning home when they need money.

LOL  : )

I do read all the posts.  Not able to participate much since I am
a shop owner and very involved in my husband’s bee business.

Today, I am looking for help with a pattern from a book:
“75 Quick & Easy Bobbin Lace Patterns” by Veronica Sorenson.
This book is in the library belonging to the Lincoln Lacemakers and
possibly originally belonged to Cristina Banyard who has passed away.

The pattern is on page 48 - "Tommy Tortoise” designed by Karen Williams.
Would love any and all suggestions on making this pattern.  Two of
the ladies I have taught some very basic torchon lace to would like
to make it.  I’m not very good at starts.  Really should take a class
at convention sometime on starts and finishes.  But I see that there
isn’t one at this year’s convention. : (

We are looking at enlarging the pattern and using a heavier thread,
LizBeth sz 80 since I carry that in my shop and would prefer not to
use a thread as fine as the pattern recommends.

Correct me if I am wrong, but couldn’t the outlining be done in a
tape lace fashion - whole stitch, cloth stitch, whole stitch?
If left to my own knowledge, I would start with the longest tape going
along the outside edge of the turtle.  Then doing each of the shorter
tapes joining in to the outside edge and/or each other.

We would probably use more simple fillings due to the limited
experience of the two beginners.  Probably spiders, maybe rose ground

Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

[lace] Pattern: "Lone"

[Lorri Ferguson]

Does anyone have the Tonder pattern 'Lone"?  Or do you know what book it is
in?  I am trying to make it for my daughter's wedding garter and I believe the
pricking card I have is incorrect in one area as pairs are not working out
correctly.


If I knew the book it was in I would try to find it be maybe a faster way
would be to get a copy of the pricking.

Re: [lace] What is a vectorized lace pattern?

[Brenda Paternoster]

The images I see after typing Vectorised lace into Google look like computer
versions of hand drawn lace.  Not photographic images of lace (hand or
machine) and not prickings/[atterns for making lace.  In many ways they remind
me of the Johann Hrdlicka design book reproduced by the Lace Guild some years
ago.

Re: [lace] What is a vectorized lace pattern?

[Amanda Babcock Furrow]

"Vectorized" doesn't refer to the lace or to the pattern.  It refers to 
the computer image.

Any lace pattern you scan in can be converted to a vectorized image.
A vectorized image is one that is saved in the computer as a set of
drawing instructions - lines and arcs and such - instead of a set of 
pixels.  That way it can be resized arbitrarily big without ever becoming
blurry.

The search results for "vectorized lace pattern" mostly bring up stock
photo sites, because people paying for stock images care whether they
are vectorized or not.  If the results look like machine lace, that reflects
the preferences of the stock image buying and selling crowd :)

Re: [lace] Pattern suggestion thanks - and Idrija lace books

[laceandbits]

Just to remind everyone on Arachne that Bridget Cook has had her comprehensive 
Idrija book reprinted.  Another author who was shocked by the high amounts 
second hand copies of the out of print books were being offered and sold for.  
It includes instruction and patterns for both narrow tape (what we think of as 
'typical' Idrija) and broad tape designs.

The reprint is available from Bridget, £20 plus shipping which is currently 
£2.80 in the UK.  You'd need to enquire from her for overseas shipping costs. 
  PM me if you want her contact details.  As far as I know she's not offering 
it for sale via any suppliers: possibly there's not enough difference in cost 
and selling price for her to be able to offer a discount to them.

Subject [lace] Pattern suggestion thanks - and Idrija lace books 
 
Hello all

thanks to all those who replied (on & off list) with pattern suggestions 
- I now have lots of ideas (if only I had enough time to try them all), 
one of which is to try Idrija lace as there seem to be lots of very 
attractive smallish motif patterns available for that;

As I've never tried Idrija I could do with an instruction book to help 
with the techniques before I leap into any more complex patterns - can 
anyone tell me what Idrija books are out there, and which ones are worth 
buying for a beginner to this type of lace?
Doesn't matter too much if they are not in English, particularly if 
their are plenty of good diagrams (I've been making lace long enough to 
"read" diagrams plus I can read French and Spanish pretty fluently, and 
make out a reasonable amount in German or Italian - armed with the 
international lace dictionary I'll tackle most lace publications)

Meanwhile,  going into the "lace" folder on my computer to dig out the 
Spanish pattern books Lorelei mentioned (which I had downloaded ages ago 
and forgotten about) I found a tape-and-fillings pattern for a treble 
clef - no idea where I downloaded this pattern by Claudine Bouvain from, 
there's just the pricking and a picture of the completed motif in my 
files, originally white but it would look glorious multi-coloured in 
really bright silk threads and I have a ridiculously large stash of 
those so I shall be preparing my pricking and winding some bobbins 
tonight..

I have collected some free patterns on my personal website, and on laceioli.
The ones I've found are all expired copyrights so that is not an issue.
http://lynxlace.com/bobbinlacefreepatterns.html
About 1/4 down the page there is a section of easy patterns, some from
LePompe, and some I designed.
Near the bottom of the page are links to whole books available online. The 3
Spanish ones have lots of patterns, some fairly simple. Nearly all are Cluny
type designs. Some are bookmarks. The ones called Raizame and Encaixe are the
most appealing to me. Diagrams explain the hard pats.

[lace] Pattern suggestions wanted

[Beth Marshall]

Hi everyone

As it's quiet on the list I'm going to creep out of lurkdom and ask for 
suggested sources for fairly quick, simple patterns using relatively 
small numbers of bobbins.


Having joined in with the Salamander project and loved it I've realised 
that the main reason I don't make lace these days is that my current UFO 
projects (a wide cluny edging from one of the retournac pattern sets and 
a bucks point edging in very fine black silk, both using 30+ pairs) are 
totally unsuitable to my current life style (commuting full-time worker) 
- I just don't have the time or mental energy to get anywhere with 
them(takes me about 20 minutes just to unpack or pack up again on the 
beds pattern - given that most weeks I'll have less than 2 hours 
lacemaking time - including the getting out and putting away - it's just 
not worth bothering to get the pillow out).


What I need is some relatively small projects using far fewer bobbins - 
there are patterns out there, but they're not in my library (I've tended 
to concentrate on the traditional continuous laces in the past) and I 
don't get to lacemakers' fairs or the few shops which sell lace books.


So, any suggestions for pattern types/sources? Particularly cheap or 
free patterns (my lacemaking budget is even more limited than my time).


Which lace styles/techniques would fit the bill?

Ideas, please!

(and if anyone can tell me where to see more of Michel Jourde's patterns 
and how to order them - all I have is the link for his blog, doesn't 
really help with seeing what's available to order...)


Thanks in advance

Re: [lace] pattern for a large star

[lacel...@frontier.com]

My star experiences have been in the 3-5 inch range, but I can imagine one a
bit bigger.  I think you could take any star pattern you like and enlarge it
to the size you want.  Adjust the size of thread to fit the new size, and
make it.
For the top of a tree, I can see various ways of mounting it.  One is to
insert a string or ribbon through lace at the center back and tie it to the
tree top.  Another is to make two stars and sew them together leaving the
bottom open.  The third is to make a paper cone or cylinder and attach the
angel to it.
Any star you make should look lovely on your tree.

Re: [lace] Pattern help

[Clay Blackwell]

The book is "Russian Lace Patterns" and the co-authors are Anna Korableva and 
Bridget M. Cook. Batsford Press, 1996.  The pattern is on page 27.

I worked this pattern in a workshop with Vera Cockuyt and she had enlarged the 
pattern and introduced the use of color.  It is a very sweet pattern!

RE: [lace] WANTED knitted lace pattern

[Angel Skubic]

Jenny stick those cold feet into a hot tub of water and get started. If you
like Estonian and you can do the nupps, then do the Estonian shawl...they
are marvellous. I can give you a tip...when making your yarnovers for the
nupps stretch your left needle out and make sure you have lots of room and I
use the click shut plastic yarn markers that look like big safety pins. I
put it through all the yarnovers after they are made so when I come back on
the purl row I don't miss one and have the nupp unravel on me (a tip I
picked up watching an Estonian lacemaker make nupps on u-tube) The larger
you make the yarnovers the easier it will be to purl them all together and
you will have pretty nupps. Also every 10 rows or so, use buttonhole thread
of a contrasting color and a size 24 tapestry needle and run a lifeline
through every stitch on that row. DO use lots of yarn markers to mark off
all repeats and be careful NOT to put your lifeline through any yarn
markers. I do some very difficult patterns that have pattern on every single
row and the lifelines are essential!!! They will save you a lot of
exasperation when you make a mistake and have to back up...nothing will go
past that lifeline. Also since your silk is so wonderfully fine, you will
want to make sure you use very small needles. I have two gossamer shawls on
 needles but you can use 00 if the  needles frighten you. Make sure
you have excellent lighting and as little distraction as possible so you can
focus. It is NOT hard but distractions can lead to mistakes. I copy my
patterns and put them in plastic folders so I can tape colored moveable tape
on whatever line I am currently on. It helps prevent you from dropping your
eye off the correct row.

What pattern to pick ? Since you bought such sensational yarn, Pick the
pattern that speaks to you, not to anyone else...the one YOU like best. You
would be surprised, but some of the prettiest shawls in that book are the
easiest. Oh if you have the dvd in the back of the book watch it...she is
full of tips. (also if that yarn is really to skinny you can double it
considering how much you have...just take the yarn from both ends and start
knitting from there. NONE of those patterns use 5,000 yards (I am working on
a pattern that uses 6,000 yards so they do exist, but not in Nancy's book)

Re: [lace] Parchment [was Needle lace pattern done]

Hi Peg,

Actually there are sources of genuine animal-skin parchment on the
web. One on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/p6xstfy. It's probably worth $5 to see
how it does. There were others. Search in Google for "real parchment for
sale".

It will be interesting to hear how it goes, since the surface may be
a significantly texture than modern materials.

I like your idea of making the type of lace shown in the painting next to

The parchment they would have used was made from animal skin (usually goat

of Art that had incredible lace detail.  The picture is Portrait of a Woman by
Cornelis Janssen van Ceulen.  (Google it and find the Wikimedia page...you'll

we figured out that the lace was probably Punto in Aria.
 
I thought it would
be nice to sit in the Museum, near her picture, and be able to make the same
lace that she's wearing.  So this past week, armed with print outs of the lace
in various enlargements, I sat down with my compass, protractor, and graph
paper and came up with a pattern for the two motifs in the center section of
the collar.  I'm working on the pattern for the edging now.
 
The next step is
to figure out how to set up the foundation threads...very steep learning curve
here.  I'm sure I'll be asking questions when the time comeshere and on
the Needlelace Ning site.

Just to add my bit to this conversation, I have the Easy Lace program which 
could be sold on to an interested buyer, as I no longer use it, but I have 
been using Lace 2000 which has been improved upon by 2 further updates which 
I love and use a lot.  No axe to grind and just a user, someone who wanted 
to create some of her own patterns and have succeeded with this program. 
The other one was much more difficult but I did make up a few.

Sue T

The information is just a little bit out of date, I'm afraid.Lace RXP
was replaced by Lace8 a year ago and Easy Lace went out of business about
three years ago.

As I've said to someone, Lace8 is the nearest thing to drawing patterns by
handinstead of  graph paper, pencil and eraser, substitute computer
screen, mouse and delete button!But of course, with all the computer
extras such as copy and paste etc.

I don't want to be seen as "advertising" which is why I've stayed quiet on
this discussion - and I should point out that I cannot supply anyone out of
Australia or New Zealand with copies of the programme anyway, due to
licencing restrictions.   If you decide Lace8 is for you, I don't benefit in
any way!

Knipling is good for the more technically-minded, but a lot of folk seem to
have trouble with it.   If the user doesn't understand the "mathematical"
approach to sizing patterns it can be difficult.   Some of the drawing
functions need an understanding of maths as well.

Hi all, just getting through emails after my trip.
While in Ljubljana, Slovenia on holidays, I was able to attend the launch of
this book. It is wonderful quality but has not yet been translated.
I was told that an English translation will be available early next year so
you might wish to delay your purchase or pre-order an English translation.
46 euro. ISBN 9789616563239 and included a DVD. I chose to wait for the
English translation.
At the launch, the authors presented a lecture on the history of lacemaking
in Slovenia which was very interesting. It was not translated but the slides
were interesting and my friend Aphrodita whispered explanations to me so
that I could partly follow what was being presented.

Re: [lace] Pattern drawing software

I would say go for Adobe Illustrator - it's an industry standard program for 
all sorts of drawing needs and once you have a basic grid drawn it can be used 
for lace including all the bending and distorting you can think of.

Hi I use Visio, a Microsoft product. Only problem is that you have to do 
all your own programing but on the plus side you can make up your own 
modules and save them in your templates. Once you have made up your 
pattern you can save it as a tiff and import it into a word document. My 
teaching notes and prickings have been produced this way. Unfortunately 
it is not available for Apples and I have to work on 2 computers.


It is also good for patchwork templates.

[lace] Pattern for clock

[Daphne Martin]

Wasn't there an exhibition some years ago, of lace-covered CDs? People from
all over made the lace and sent it in, and there were some patterns
published.
Maybe those would work for your candleholders.

Does anybody else remember this?

Adele

Yes Adele I remember it and I have the files.

[lace] pattern sharing helpful hint.

[Jane Partridge]

This is helpful with anything that is critical as to size. As some 
printers and copiers distort by different amounts horizontally and 
vertically, may I suggest that the one inch lines are shown in both 
directions?

[lace] [LACE] pattern sharing helpful hint.

[Donna Fousek]

Hi All,
 
I know we all like to share or download free patterns over the
internet. I have noticed that they do not always come across to the scale
sent. I have an idea that might help stop the madness. I began putting a 1
inch scale line on the pricking before sending so the recipient can tell if
the pricking is to scale after printing. Thread size is great but not all off
are experienced enough to tell if the scaling is correct. Just my thoughts I
thought I would pass on.

Re: [lace] pattern and thread size

[Brenda Paternoster]

Hi Sue

The various working angles of different Bucks patterns doesn't make a huge 
difference to the size of thread needed.  A rule of thumb is that if you make a 
winding of 10 wraps it should fit snugly between two adjacent pinholes along 
the footedge (or two vertical pinholes within ground) for point grounds and a 
winding of 12 wraps should fit between two footedge pinholes for torchon if the 
thread is the right thickness.

Is your pattern drawn over a straight grid? - so that you have to add and 
subtract pairs to get the circular shape.  The diamond shape of four adjacent 
ground pinholes will be the same shape and size throughout the design.  Or is 
it drawn over a logarithmic/computer generated grid which means that one group 
of four pinholes is a different shape/size to another group of four pinholes?

If your pattern is of the latter type (any sort of lace) you just have to 
compromise and use a thread size to fit the average density of the pricking 
and/or go for the thickest that you can squash into the tightest/densest parts 
without it puckering up.  I was told ages ago that the word used by the old 
Bucks lacemakers for this puckering/wrinkling was twippering.

Re: [lace] pattern and thread size

Thank you Brenda and Jane,
I just printed it off bigger, following your suggestions.  As it was a 
pretty small piece, the larger print still looks like it will work and comes 
up a bit like a large church window which was what I was looking for and I 
think will still fit inside one of those cards with a circular appeture.


I do have Edition 5, but my old maths skills have sadly deserted me, so 
thank you both for coming to my assistance, .

Hi Sue

If you have one of the later editions of Threads for Lace have a look at the 
thread wraps per space - page 8 in Ed5.


The finer the thread the more leeway you have in the number of wraps/cm you 
have, but.
for a Bucks (point ground) pattern using a 58 w/cm thread (slightly finer 
than Brok 100/2) the ideal space between footedge pinholes is 1.8mm.
For a 40 w/cm thread (slightly finer than Egyptian 60/2) it's 2.5mm  which 
is quite a bit bigger.


100% / 1.8 x 2.5 = 138.88  so you need to increase your pattern by 139% 
which is a lot.   A4 -> A3 increase is 141% which is only marginally bigger.

[lace] new lace pattern

[Janice Blair]

Hi All,
I have been offline due to a storm last Monday.  We have no power and being on 
well and septic, so we have no water.  ComEd say maybe electric by tomorrow!  I 
have had a shower this week but am getting in need of another one.  It's 
amazing 
what you can do with baby wipes!  I am hauling buckets of water from my 
neighbors pool to flush the loos.  They get awfully stinky even after one day. 
Next I will have to deal with the rotting food in the freezer and fridge but 
until I have running water I am not going to start that job.  We had no damage 
although Crystal Lake was the hardest hit and all my neighbors lost big trees. 
 Thankfully it was nothing like the tornadoes earlier and it is an excuse to 
eat 
out a lot now the places are back online.  Anyway, finally managed to check my 
mail while in the office where I work one day a week.  

My DD has updated my Pattern Gallery on my web site with an easy Buckspoint 
pattern.  It was a class I taught a number of years ago. Go to the jblace.com 
link below and choose Pattern Gallery on the right.   This Saturday I am 
teaching another simple Buckspoint edging at our guild meeting, you can see the 
sample on this web page http://www.lacemakersofillinois.org/memnews.html  We 
may 
be able to put that pattern online after the event.

If anyone emails me, please be patient as I don't know when I will be able to 
check my mail again.

Re: [lace] Question - bobbin lace pattern for sailboat

[Laceandbits]

There was also a pattern of a sailboat under a rainbow with was given as a  
free internet pattern, via arachne, many years ago now.  It was in the  
days before we had broadband access and it was big files and took agaes to  
download.  I was able to use the pattern itself, but a lot of the  other files 
that were with it were large unrecognised format to my computer -  very 
frustrating after all the download time.  A few years ago,  I adapted it to a 
circle for a student to make in a big ring  to hang in her window.  It's made 
mostly in white thread,  with colours used for the rainbow, boat sails and 
pennant.
 
If anyone else remembers this pattern, knows if it is still  available, and 
has a link, I for one would like to try downloading it  again.  I'm far 
more computer literate these days and might be able to  access the other files. 
 It originated in Europe - Germany? Netherlands?  Possibly Sweden?

In addition to the Kortelahti lace pictures which incorporate sailboats that 
Antje mentioned, there's a small sailboat (as an individual motif) in: 
"Motieven in kleur; 220 patronen in Russiche kant" by Sebastiana van den Herik. 
In the same book, there's also a motif of a full old-fashioned sailing ship 
(3-masts and very pretty). 

Both books (van den Herik's with English translation) are available for loan to

Hi Chris,

There are a few nice sail boats in Eeva Liisa Kortelahti's book "Let's make
bobbin lace", ISBN 951-99922-3-5, reprinted in 1995.

The boats are inserted in a picture... I mean: it is not an isolated boat,
but  it also has a sea and a sky, making a square motive.

I hope I have made myself understood.

I bought my book directly to the author. But I suppose it is available in
some lace material shops...

Good luck.

From: "Sue" 
the pattern quotes madeira tanne 50 (which is 39 wraps and is 2Z) in
Brenda's book. I want to use my gutterman silk which says it is 27
wraps and
3Z).  Would it be sensible to print the pattern out slightly bigger
for the
silk and if so by how much.Time is a little short now for me to have
time to make some samples to see which ones best, so I hope you lovely
spiders will come to my aid here.

So, spider mat it is.  Unfortunately I can't find the actual mat to get a

[lace] Washington, DC based lace pattern themes/Bethesda

[Dmt11home]

Dear Louise,
Thank you for pointing this out. I guess that, while everything I need to  
know, I learned in kindergarten, this is one part of the kindergarten 
curriculum  that has grown hazy in my mind in the years since. At one point, I 
knew it was  the Rappahannock, but all my Washington myths seem to have merged 
in my mind,  and an internet search reveals that a lot of other people are 
merging their  Washington myths as well.
Fortunately, I had not designed a lace pattern showing a coin not flying  
over the Potomac. So, it is unnecessary for me to institute a redesign to 
show a  coin not flying over the Rappahannock. Apparently, the only basis for 
the story  is a remark by Martha Washington's grandson to the effect that 
George  Washington threw "a piece of slate" about the size of a silver dollar 
across the  Rappahannock. As your experience with coin throwing over the 
Rappahannock  illustrates, it seems to be something that a lot of people can 
do. 
Why this  particular feat has been attributed to Washington as an example 
of his  superiority to other humans, I don't know. Actually, crossing the 
Delaware  River to Trenton, in winter, repeatedly, shows greater stamina.
 
Perhaps, it would be better, then, to concentrate on the fact that  
Washington had a set of wooden teeth. Oh, darn, I just checked Wikipedia and he 
 
didn't have a set of wooden teeth.
 
 
 
<> 
Actually, I find it more interesting that Washington had a set of teeth 
made  from hippopotamus ivory. I wonder why that fact never made it to  
kindergarten. 
Hmm. Liz, were you looking to make a theme based pattern for Gros Point, or 
 for Bedfordshire, since I know you are teaching both? Perhaps a nice Gros 
Point  of cherry blossoms and roses on a jabot for a Supreme Court judge. I 
think  turkeys and bald eagles in Bedfordshire, ala Thomas Lester.

Subject: pattern prickings





Yes , you are correct Sue.  Architect's linen is used for needlelace and is
placed over the pattern and 2 or 3 layers of calico before couching down the
outline of the pattern through all layers.  This is to prevent one's needle
catching on the fabric, also giving a stable foundation on which to work.
Someone also mentioned Ruskin work using leather cloth before removing threads
and this is used for exactly the same reason.

I have been given to understand that computers have now replaced the need for
Architect's linen but anyone you know who makes needlelace would be most
grateful to receive some.

Re: [lace] pattern prickings

[bev walker]

I have used both - the paper and the linen (yes, the linen is 'old
technology'), the latter was actually for a needlelace sampler - but...I
washed the linen first! So of course I got a tough piece of fabric, not a
glossy paper-ish medium. The fabric is so tough it was difficult to push a
needle through (duh!). The linen would be ok for a pricking that you draw.

So - the drafting vellum they use now is ok for prickings, but it is a
plastic, and any pointy bits, e.g. if you cut a bit for rectangular bookmark
- are very sharp. Then, when you pin it to the pillow, don't move it much,
else the pinholes get bigger. Also if you do put markings on the pricking,
use it upside down so the pen or pencil markings show from underneath,
doesn't get on the thread

called Pargetting, whe it is inside?) I would like to make him a similar
paperweight - but I can't find the pricking.

So - does anyone have a pricking, or can anyone tell me where I might find
one, of a quick and simple Tudor Rose?I will be most grateful to anyone
who can point me in the right direction.

Thanks to you all for your help.

[lace] Pattern

[Sue]

I have been thinking of making a garter pattern to pass on to one of my
sisters families to use and to pass on into the future.  Yesterday a special
aunt passed away and somehow I feels like I would like to keep her name going
with this piece of lace.

I wonder if any of you lacemakers out there know of a pattern called Joyce or
Joy as a strip piece either in Torchon or Bucks (she didn't like my beds
piece).  I there is I would like to get hold of a copy, and if not perhaps I
should design something.

[lace] lace pattern/drawing

[Sue]

Sorry folks, one more clarification of the pattern raffle/drawing.  What is 
on offer is two separate pattern sheets only, not a booklet (that is what I 
bought for me which is what gave me the duplicate patterns).  So whoevers 
names, and there will be two, are drawn out in about 10 days time will be 
sent one pattern sheet each.
I would hate anyone to be disappointed in what they receive and be expecting 
more than is on offer.

I have 35 names at the moment.

[lace] lace pattern raffle

[Sue]

A couple of people have asked if I will post my raffle internationally and 
the answer is yes.  I now have 19 names in the pot so far but will drawer it 
on the 11th April.


We were on our way to visit my very sick aunt who is in a care home close by 
so didn't do more than a quite look around the museum, but my DH was 
fascinated by the very old sewn samplers dated in the 1700s and sewn by 9 
and 10 year olds.  Also they had a fantastic beaded design covered box which 
we both drolled over.  They had several figures (dummies) sitting at lace 
pillows which I will have a better look at next time I manage to go.  Also a 
case of beautiful fans are on display.
I was born in the town and lived there for 28 years but I dont think they 
had the collection there then.

Re: [lace] pattern for stool?

[Lorri Ferguson]

Patsy,  and others who requested the 'folding lacemakers' foot stool'

I am very sorry I haven't gotten it out yet.  Life has come crashing down on
me:  My husband's health.
I am till intending to get them out (I saved all the requests).  I will put it
on my list for just after Christmas.

Please forgive me.
Lorri
  In our Lacemakers of Puget Sound Guild there have been several (over time)
who
  needed a foot stool and one clever husband designed a folding one that
would
  travel well.  We have put the design in the new letter a couple of times in
the past.
  I don't know how many have actually been made by others.

[lace] Russian Lace pattern

[Laceandbits]

Hi Nova and all
The definitive answer form Bridget about the way the filling is worked for 
the face of the doll, pg 24 of her Russian Lace Patterns book is as most of us 
thought, whirlpools worked over four pairs (which is why they are square).  
Complete three of the plaits and the fourth to the centre, work the whirlpool 
to 
the correct size and then plait to the centre of the next one.

[lace] pattern advice please

[Wendy Davies]

Hi all

My mum came over yesterday and has said she is making a cake for a lady
reteiring after 50 years in the St Johns Ambulance, I showed her one of my
christmas cards I have made and asked if I could maybe do one for her to place
on top of the cake for a keepsake for the lady.

Has any body got an idea where I could get the St Johns badge pattern or how I
would go about making up a pattern from the motif I have printed off the
computer.

Oh just tolet you all know my mum was over the moon with the cape I made for
her doll, I have left her to sew on the lace edging as I am not very good with
free hand sewing and didn't want to spoil it by machine sewing and maybe
getting it all wrong.

Thanks all

[lace] lace pattern from germany

[Agnes Boddington]

Hello Ann-Marie and those that are interested.

I looked on the website you specified for lace patterns 
http://www.kloeppelwerkstatt.de/
I emailed them about how to order and pay for patterns, but have not had 
a response from them yet.
However, it also stated that their patterns are availble at the 
Kantcentrum in Belgium, so I emailed them, and had a response which 
translated into

English says:

Dear madam,
Many of these patterns can indeed be ordered from us. Just quote the 
order number for the particular pattern, plus a  description of the pattern.
We will then deal with your order and will let you know how much the 
postal charges to your country will be.

Regards, Anne

They did not respond about my question of how to pay for them, but their 
website does state that they accept VISA.
Hope this helps. Should I hear anything from Germany, I'll let you know.

Hello Lacers,
I recently did a piece of Schneeberger(?) lace from a photo I found on the
internet.  I don't have the pricking, just did it straight from the pic.  It
was a good learning curve for me and had to improvise. It was a personal
challenge and not something I normally do.  I have a lot of books to choose
to make patterns.  But really wanted to try this.   You can see it here on

I had downloaded the pic a long time ago and don't recall where it came

Hello everyone
 
As a point of interest  I have been checking the number of times the card
exchange patterns have been accessed
 
The individual ladies who provided their patterns will shortly receive an
email letting them know what numbers of the individual PDFs have been
downloaded - but the combined PDF's numbers are ...
The 2006 Christmas Card Exchange has been downloaded 1686 times since its
inception
The 2007 Card Exchange patterns has been downloaded 2784 times since it went
up in mid Dec.
 
So this must mean that the patterns are very popular J

Re: [lace] RE: Nativity lace pattern

[Sue Babbs]

Yes, Jeri, there is a book solely about the work of Milca Eremiasova.

It is called "Milca Eremiasova - Rec Krajky (The language of lace)" and it is
truly inspirational. To my mind she really is a lace artist.

It is published by Anna Halikova, Ceska palicka 2002. There is no ISBN no. in
it that I have spotted.

I bought my copy from http://www.palickovani.cz/start.php a few years ago

Re: [lace] RE: Nativity lace pattern

[Jeriames]

Dear Lacemakers and Collectors,

Is there is a book of this artist's work?  Not just a picture or  two in
other books, but a full book?

A few years before the OIDFA Prague Congress, a friend toured Czech
Republic.  She sent an oversized postcard packet/folio of 13 cards, with a
small
multi-language booklet about the artist (for the library  here).  If any of
our
lacemakers are traveling in Czech Republic, be sure  to ask at museums
displaying laces, what printed material is available about  Milca Eremiasova!

This is an artist whose work we can show to young lacemakers - for  their
inspiration - to show what simple thread and a talented artist can  make.  If
you
keep a book of samples of your own laces, a picture of  one of Eremiasova's
laces somewhere in that can remind of what to strive  for.

It's a piece by Milca Eremiasova (sorry I don't feel like tracking down all

the accents for her name). She is a Czech lace artist.



 There is a photo of  the piece in the biography of her lacemaking, on page

37, but no pricking. It is dated 1997.  If anyone tracks down a pricking I,

too, would love to have it.
