Re: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern
Hi Malvary, Thankyou for giving me the issue of Lace that the bouquet appeared in. I have sent a message to the lady I am in contact with at the Lace Guild and told her which issue and will have to wait to see if she or the librarian can come up with anything. I do remember reading the details of the bouquet on the copy of the pattern that my friend had all those years ago. The colours mentioned made it sound gorgeous even though the sketch on the front cover was black and white you could picture it in your minds eye. Regards Jenny DeAngelis. Spain. Just went and found the issue of the Lace magazine (#37 Spring 1985) and found a picture of the John Bull Trophy Award (1984) at the English Lace School. There was also a write up about the Itchen Valley Lacemakers group. The wedding bouquet bouquet was worked in cream and apricot: 3 roses with leaves; 17 stephanotis, 14 hyacinth pips, and 5 lily of the valley. 40 members took part and it took them 400 hours. It was made in 50 Sylko thread because there was a wide enough colour range to get a close blending of the colours. There was also an open strip of lace threaded with the ribbon. It says that they were planning to make up a booklet with full instructions - don't know how to find out if that was ever done.

Re: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern.
Dear Jenny, I have a beautiful pattern for a round mat in fine knitted lace that is perfect Lily of the valley. Could photograph it if you like. David in Ballarat I asked a couple of days ago about a pattern for some Lily of the Valley. I have remembered now where the pattern came from that my friend had some years ago. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern.
Thankyou David, But the flower I am after is not part of a mat it is a little flower on a stem such as you would put in a vase or to decorate a card etc., Thankyou for offering Regards Jenny DeAngelis.

Re: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern.
Thankyou to both Dee and BarbE, I have the Joyce Wilmot book of Flowers, bought it years ago. But it doesn't have the Lily of the Valley that I was after, the smallest white flower in the book appears to be the stephanotis but that is a bigger than I need.

Re: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern.
The link you gave isn't quite right - there should be a question mark between aspx and index http://www.e.volve.org.uk/directoryitem.aspx?index=44item=3123dataitem=865 It's a site which includes the Itchin Valley Lacemakers in Southampton in Hampshire on the south coast of Egland (Southampton's all one word BarbE - there's no North Hampton in Hampshire, but there is Northampton in Northamptonshire up in the Midlands - yes, very confusing) Think Jenny's already tried them. Flowers and Butterflies in 3D Bobbin Lace by Dorothy K Cox also has common snowdrop and spring and summer snowflakes. Perhaps something could be done with the joining of petals of the spring snowflake to make a lily of the valley flower.

Re: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern.

Re: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern.
Would ould this have been something that Joyce Willmot did? I looked in my book workshop (1986) material but found no lily of the valley.could be that this is a later pattern?Judy Ward USA makes these flowers ( and bouquets) also, but I do not any of her patterns...unless I do a 'deep search', and I will if no one else finds them. BarbE - Original Message - From: Jenny De Angelis To: Arachne mailing list Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 6:37 PM Subject: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern. Hi all, I asked a couple of days ago about a pattern for some Lily of the Valley. I have remembered now where the pattern came from that my friend had some years ago. It was a bride's bouquet made up entirely of flowers made in lace. Roses, hyacinth pips and Lily of the valley, I think too there might have been stephanotis and one or two other flowers but can't remember it all. The bouquet was made by the members of the Itchen Valley Lace Makers and I managed to find an address and phone number for the group by googling for them. I phoned the number and the lady I spoke to said that they no longer had a copy of the pattern, I had asked if I could buy a copy. She said the bouquet was made by the group for one of the members who was getting married and that they entered it into the John Bull Trophy Competition run by the Lace Guild. I have been in touch with the Lace Guild to ask if they have a copy of the pattern. I thought that the Lace Guild produced a book of the best patterns of items entered into the JOhn Bull competition, perhaps I am wrong. I would have thought that the bouquet would have been amongst the best items for that particular year. I am waiting to see if the Lace Guild librarian can come up with anything. It was a beautiful thing as I remember it, though I saw the pattern about 10 years ago now, so not surprising that no one knows what I am talking about today. Regards Jenny DeAngelis.

Re: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern.
Jenny, I have a couple lace flower books and no Lily of the Valley. In Lace Flowers by Joyce R. Willmot there is a pattern for the Snowdrop flower which is a small flower. Maybe you could substitute it. I also have Floribana by Anny Noben-Slegers but again no Lily of the Valley. That's two books that I have checked for you, I'm sure there are others. Patsy A.
