Re: [lace] lace pattern question
To Alice and all other spiders, I have for a long time been contemplating doing a piece of overlap lace but to date have never tried it, are there any pitfalls that I need to look out for, help gratefully accepted. Sue M Harvey Norfolk UK where I am sitting in an almost empty workroom because we are decorating it. - Original Message - From: Alice Howell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: lace@arachne.com Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 2:24 AM Subject: [lace] lace pattern question Greetings, A box of lace books and papers were given to our lace guild from an estate. I had the assignment to go through it to see what was there. Part of it had come originally from a second estate so it has remnants from two lacemakers. One thing I turned up was the draft copies of two Torchon patterns. One seemed ready to test, and was signed and dated. The other one - that is the problem. It is not signed so I'm not sure which of the two lacemakers drafted it. However it has a title. This led me to wonder if it was a pricking draft from a pattern in a book -- before the days of the copy machine. The title is Emperor's Crown. It is Torchon, with the headside made of narrow scalloped fans assembled in clusters to make a larger scallop. There are four spiders per repeat with a large center diamond of either roseground or honeycomb surrounded by a diamond trail of either cloth stitch or half stitch. Does this sound like anything you have in an older book - probably in the 70's or 80's? Being titled like that made me think it could be a copy of an existing pattern. With further study, it seems to have one section that is not drawn in a do-able manner. Some thread pairs go two directions at once. The pattern needs minor tweaking to correct this error, which I think I can do without changing the general composition. This error encourages me to believe that this might be an original design that was not finished. Any suggestion on how to find out about this pattern since the two possible designers are deceased?

RE: [lace] lace pattern with hearts
From: Peter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have tried to create the pattern myself from a pattern that I found for a round doily but I have not been able to create the corners. Now, I am running out of time and need to find a pattern. If you like that pattern, use it without fabricated corners. Just make extra and gather the corners. That's a perfectly acceptable way to make lace edgings for hankies, and looks nice. Another heart pattern, if you know point ground, is Danish hearts. There are Tonder versions and Bucks versions, and they're all just a tad different from each other. Many have the gimp go around the heart and then be the worker for the fan, so a white gimp with red threads would produce red hearts and white scallops. Again, just make extra and gather the edges. To calculate how much extra you need, each corner takes twice the width of the lace. In other words, a 1-inch lace needs 2 extra inches for each corner, or 8 extra inches. Or make 9 extra inches and you won't have to fuss carefully with the corners. A little extra gathering at the corners won't show and guarantees enough lace even if the fabric's just a tad off from what you calculated. Robin P.

Re: [lace] lace pattern
Hi Rose-Marie, The nice thing about Eeva-Liisa's patterns is that they work. You might have to do a bit of puzzling at times but generally speaking all the information you need is right there on the pricking. One exception to that is on the Good Shepherd picture where there is a special diagram to explain how to get 'wooly' sheep. I have worked that one and it turned out well. I agree with the person who said that you need a large pillow, (flat). These are big patterns.

I haven't made a large pattern, but I tried to imagine making one. What pillow would I use. Has anyone tried doing one on a large bolster pillow? It seems like that would be a practical method of working with a very large pattern.

Rose-Marie Abbotsford, BC, Canada looks like we'll see the sun today! == Hi Rose-Marie, I have purchased two of those lace pictures, The Vine and The Good Shepherd. The technique is not difficult, mostly Torchon grounds, which Eeva-Liisa uses in very imaginative ways. But they are large. The Vine is almost 24 wide and 30 long. It requires mostly 70/3 Pella linen, but the leaves add 50/3 Pella linen workers to add definition to the central motif. The working drawing is right on the pricking itself. I find everything to be clearly marked. I made a deal with a quilter friend at church to make a backing for The Vine so we can present it as a hanging. Now I just have to make the lace!

They are as Patty said clearly marked, imaginative torchon. Give it a try - but only if you have a pillow big enough. That makes it much more fun to work, than trying to balance the bobbins on a pillow which is too small Sue [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
