[lace] re: Lace eye candy

[Susan Vossier]

Janice, I've seen this salt crystal lace several years running - but I'm
going to a lace day in Vauvert, where they did it, at the end of October,
I'll ask for more info!

i think it was probably only tried once, as an experiment, but will let you
know all the details I manage to glean...

I'd forgotten about net petticoats and sugar; that's some years back!

[lace] Polish lace - Correction: Kalocsa is Hungarian, not Polish

[Jeriames]

Dear Susan,

Kalocsa is a place in Hungary where they have traditionally made brightly
colored floral embroidery.  What is of interest to us is that the
foundation under that embroidery is lacy, and white.  The lacy  parts were
originally
stitched by hand, but when the Singer treadle  machines came into use, they
were quickly adopted to speed the work.  There  is a wonderful
English-language book that I reviewed in 2015 "Treasures of  Kalocsa" by Kati
Fejér.

I usually print my reviews and put in the books, and also found a personal
letter from you, Susan, in response to that review.  It was dated
September 14, 2015, and also went to Arachne.  I'll not say more here,
because
anyone interested can search for it by the book title, or if you want to  read
over 20 entries, search by just Kalocsa:

Thank you Blanche!  I've printed out your info for future use.  It's totally

Thanks also for the references on Polish traditional dress.  When I looked
last night, I found beautiful whitework on blouses & aprons but no bobbin
lace.  I did find some interesting pieces that appear to be needle lace in the

Odp: RE: [lace] Polish lace

[B Krbechek]

The Lace School Movement occurred in the late XIX th century into the
XXth

It was early in Ireland, an attempt to help women financially during the
difficult times

of the potato famine, and spread world wide.

Bobowa was one of the villages involved in the Lace School Movement

out of Vienna.  If I remember correctly there were 70 lace schools out

of Vienna.  Bobowa was one of the very few in Poland.

There were several Czech villages that were also part of those out of
Vienna.

And a word about Minnesota, my home--

Lace schools also existed there. There were several women from the Native

tribes who were learning lace taught by Bishop Whipple's missionaries. 

Queen Victoria had some of their pieces.

As in many of the lace schools, the lace familiar to the teacher was
taught. 

In other words, not always bobbin lace.

There is very little bobbin lace in Poland.  The costume in Dolny Slask
(south west)

has bobbin lace on the woman's hat.  There is much German influence in
that

region and the costurmes show that also.  

Koniakow, also in the south west, in Beskidi Slask, is well known (very

good PR) for their crocheted lace.  (My speculation about this lace:  It

appears to me to be an attempt to copy Italian bobbin lace using
crocheting

technique.  Remember  copying royalty has always been a popular activity

in all times and all places.  Bona Sfzora was a Polish queen from
Italy.) 

Many of the costurmes from various regions of Poland are trimmed with

crocheted lace but there is none on the one from Beskidi Slask.

The newer costumes from the northern region of Kaszuby where I now

live have a small amount of narrow crocheted trim on the head piece,

but it is mostly machine made.
