Re: [lace] Hinojosa
I have replied Lorelei privately, anyway in Arachne mail archives, can be found information about Hinojosa lace also called Witch Stitch Lace. If you like to know more about it, and take a glance to the 3 books I have self published, you will find it on my web: http://www.carolgallego.com Kind regards.

These are unusual tape laces where the tape widens and narrows by changing stitches and adding decorative holes. Does anyone know of a book or magazine where I can find a bunch of patterns for this lace? Hopefully a whole book of patterns?

Re: [lace] Hinojosa
I got in touch with Hinojosa Lace thanks to Carolina's pattern books. I didn't know Carolina then, and met her through Arachne. That was many years ago.. perhaps 10? Carolina learned to make this type of lace from one of the few women that still knew how to make it in those times. Because this lace has been unknown, as it was also only made in some small parts of Spain, and unknown in the rest of the country. Carolina is one the first lacers who started to design her own patterns based on this technique and offer them on sale. And I must say they are all very beautiful. I must also say that old patterns were not available anywhere then, because the owners kept them jealously. So, Carolina´s patterns were in fact the only way to work this lace during a whole decade. At the same time, in another part of Spain, Mariña Regueiro, also fascinated by this lace, which she happened to see for the first time in 1984, started to make a deep research, searching for its roots. And the book Jacqui mentions is the result of many years of investigating. It has just been published. I have seen it, and it is a very very good book. A lot of history, old pictures of lacers, of laces... and finally a lot of patterns with diagrams (really important). With Carolina's patterns and Mariña´s book you will certainly have enough information and patterns for a whole life! Best regards from a really warm Spain.

[lace] Old pic of Lacemaker
A dear friend of mine and one of the daughters of my bobbin lace teacher sent me a photo of a lacemaker from Bruges, Belgium. I got permission to share it with you. Here is the picture: http://www.tat-man.net/bobbinburg/Lacemaker-Brugges.jpg Isn't she a cute character?? And here is my friend's note that she sent me to accompany the picture: snip== mom told me that she or someone took this picture on a school trip in the 1930's with the sisters of Notre Dame in Bruges, Belgium. unsnip== -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tat-man.net/blog Magic Thread Shop: http://www.tat-man.net/tatterville/tatshop/tatshop.html email: tat...@tat-man.net Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/tatmantats - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Old pic of Lacemaker
It is an excellent snapshot, and kind of you and your friend to share it with us. She is must have been pretty in her youth. She is elegant in her late years - and not needing glasses or perhaps couldn't afford them, and she sits at the door in good light - we could weave a pleasant story for her.

Re: [lace] thoughts on the pricking topic
--- On Mon, 4/4/11, bev walker walker.b...@gmail.com wrote: snipped For me, anyway - if used to sight-reading music, and touch-typing, pre-pricking to learn the pattern seems time-consuming when one could be doing the lace and pricking all of a go. It is nice we have choices :) I touch type and I sight read music and I do both at high speed. However, if I work with a non pre-picked pattern my speed goes down to annoying. When I spend the time to preprick I can work much, much faster and make less mistakes because I'm working at the speed that works for me. And really isn't that last part what is important here - it's what works for me. As my grandma was want to say; if were all the same then the world would be a very boring place indeed.

Re: [lace] Old pic of Lacemaker
When I was in Brugge last fall, I saw a younger (but not *much* younger) woman sitting in a doorway just as this woman was, making lace on a similar pillow. In Brugge, it seems that time has stood still in some respects!

[lace] Regency Lace sleeves
Dear Spiders, Here is a place where handmade lace is being made and listed for sale. Any idea what kind of lace it is, and from where the pattern comes from? Looks like it's made in silk. Any of you English Spiders consulted or contributed to the effort?

RE: [lace] Regency Lace sleeves
They look nice, don't they? The sleeves are spot tulle, which I think is machine made, and the cuffs I'd guess are torchon, and yes, made in silk (the description says so, and it looks to be true). I wonder, is there just one set on offer, or if they get loads of orders will they have to get loads of sets made ...

[lace] Regency lace sleeves
The sleeve edging lace appears to be strips sewn together. The headside strip is torchon, the wide inner section is probably torchon, but one of the narrow strips may be Beds (hard to tell, photo not close enough). The lace made at that time would have been, most likely, point ground or Mechlin in the Napoleonic era style (that is, assuming that England followed French fashion).
