Hello Hendrika
Now the button collector , who mentioned that she is familiar with
crochet
buttons ,and myself are rather curious if there are, or if anyone has
ever
heard of, Lace buttons ?
Dorset buttons, as used on the traditional smocks worn by agricultural
workers, are a form of needl
Making needlelace buttons is great fun. You are welcome to have a look at
some flower buttons I have made. The quality of the photo is not very good
but you can get the idea.

There are some Bedfordshire lace samples for sale on ebay, supposedly from
the 1900s (which I suppose could mean any time until 1999), two of those
shown having corners. I was under the impression that corners were a
relatively new development and that lace was gathered prior to their
developme
Hello ladies!
I've just gotten an email from Michael Giusiana who tells me that his art
budget this year is gone, and next year doesn't look good either. You may
remember that he teaches middle school art at the military base in Ramstein,
Germany during the school year and teaches Flanders and
Hello spiders,
yesterday night finally I found images of Soles de Maracaibo, a relative of
nhanduti or tenerife lace.
That is what I am seeking after 2 months. They are very beautifull.
There are many fotos that can show us the technique of the lacemakers and, as
it seems, like nhanduti/tenerife l
Hello every spiders again

Since lacemaking has been around for 500 years,
'relatively new' could be a couple hundred years.
More to the point, the book Les Dentelles Aux Fuseaux
by Dillmont has many corner patterns, and the author
died in 1890.
I can't give an earler reference, but I think corners
came in during the fir
Greetings to all,
There was talk of lace covered buttons earlier today/yesterday.
I came across this book by Gilian Dye on ebay: Bobbin lace patterns for
Birds, buttons & bookmarks if anyone is interested.
Item number: 290080357670
The description says there are 15 patterns for lace buttons.
Oh, what a wonderful piece of "synchronicity"!
My maternal grandma was from Maracaibo, and used to make "Soles" when she
was a girl. My mum never learned, and when I discovered lacemaking,
grandma had died a couple of years ago... What a pity that she never
passed her skills on...
Thanks for send
I'm at work, and have class tonight so can't get more specific until the
weekend. But as I recall there are examples of BL worked corners in Santina
Levey's "Lace, a History" dating from the 1500-1600s

I have tried to find information in the books I have, but have not been
able to find anything that gave a date for the appearance of corners in
lace. I did find a statement by Geraldine Stott that "in the old days,
lace was always made straight and then gathered round the corners".
(The Bobbi
Having seen the pictures of the Dorset Buttons on the links sent to the
list, made me realise that I have a couple of similar buttons in my button
box. They were left in this house by the German lady we bought the house
from. I found them in the sewing basket the lady left for me. She left a

Hi, all
Just a reminder that the raffle for the bucks point pattern closes on Sunday

Gentle Spiders,
As one of my respondents pointed out, February 14 is a *Wednesday*, not
a Tuesday. Sigh... Even when actually looking at a calendar, I can,
*still*, mess up dates/days of the week :)
But, this time, it's the *dates* which count; I will draw on the 14th
(Wednesday) and announc
