Hi, everyone
I've finished translating the text from the Collar and Cuffs pattern (Les
Asters) from the Fouriscot/Arpin Cluny de Brioude book at last. If anyone
else has the book and would like a copy of the translated text, email me off
list and I'll send it to you.
(note: the text, being
I don't know about brilliant, but it works very well for me. The best
part of the whole idea is having the notecards the same size and
stored in the same place. My reference cards are 4x6, the size of a
large index card or a photograph. I could store them in a card file
box, but I prefer a
Can you share with some of us who don't know. What is Lenore's brilliant idea
that you have been talking about. I must have missed it somewhere along the
way.

Someone mentioned a particular piece on Lenores blog so I went to look.
What she explained was printing out individual notes and some diagrams onto
postcard size paper. 6 x 4 inches. this allows these pieces to be kept

Dear Fellow Spiders,
I came across this lace dress on eBay. I'm not an expert but my first
impression is that it is Russian lace. Regardless of the type of lace, it
is very beautiful and would have taken a long time to make.
It is an interesting dress. I wouldn't mind owning it
myself. The pictures are intriguing but don't let me
close enough to really 'see' the lace. At first
viewing, it is bobbin lace style, not crochet as
mentioned in the listing. They do say 'machine made
crochet'.
Considering the style and
Hi Alice,
I would tend to agree about the lace fabric suggestion until I look closely
at the picture that has the best close-up. If you click on 'larger image'
it looks to me like there are two workers passing in and out of the cloth
stitch areas and I thought machine lace tended to use one
Yes, I agree that the close-up pictures allow us to see that the workers
go in pairs. On the other hand, I am also surprised to see darts and
pin-tucking in lace!! Usually, lace is worked with more finesse in a
fine garment (re the darts) and the pin-tucking is just awkward, IMHO.
I believe
Machine lace (Barmen machine) does have pairs of workers, but my
feeling is that this is hand made BL, Russian or other Eastern
European. Looks as though there are lots of sewings joining the braids
together, that's not something that the Barmen machine can do.
Yes Clay, I do think that it
What if the lace was from a different dress and had been remade into
this dress? That might explain the darts and tucks. We know they used
to take lace off dresses and reapply it to new dresses.
On a tangent, that makes me suspect that's what I have with a length of

Yesterday I took Cattern Cakes to my lace guild to celebrate lacemaking and
St.Catherine, November 25th. This time I omitted the caraway seeds and added
a little more butter and cinnamon to the recipe and they tasted good. Last
time I made them, they just sat on the baking sheet and remained the
Hello Jean,
Thankyou very much but I managed to get a copy of the booklet for he
bouquet, I made a swap with another arachne lister who had an unusued and
unwanted copy. Thankyou for
remembering my request though, perhaps another lister will be interested in
the copy that Doreen Gill has.
