Re: [lace] Help With Skeined Cotton Thread

Update on the thread - Interesting - the slips are not as I expected. I thought the entire parcel would be one long length of thread, with all the slips joined to one another, but - no. Each slip is fastened off, separate from the others, so you can just extract one slip at a time from the

Re: [lace] Help With Skeined Cotton Thread

Thank you so much, Jean, Sue (and Brenda & Clay through the archives) - My little 6” parcel didn’t seem to have any red threads, or any indication of having been tied at all, but the picture of your parcel that you so kindly sent, Jean, looked a lot like my parcel in every other respect,

Ooops, to set the record straight, that wasn’t the Hallmark Channel link that had the bad copywriting - it was something called Parade, that I don’t know how I got onto. Adele > On Feb 13, 2022, at 9:23 AM, ash...@shaw.ca wrote: > > First one was The Wedding Veil > Second was The Wedding Veil

Re: [lace] Burano Needle Lace in Hallmark movie!

First one was The Wedding Veil Second was The Wedding Veil Unveiled Third is The Wedding Veil Legacy (I went to your link. You need to scroll down quite a bit and read the paragraph titles to find the 3 names. Bad copywriting!) Adele > On Feb 13, 2022, at 9:00 AM, Sue Babbs wrote: > > It

Ooops! I looked at the thumbnail and thought it was the right film, but it wasn’t. I was thinking about “Lace of Long Ago” (1931): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwcSaAXtZsc Adele > On Nov 23, 2020, at 12:01 PM, Malvary wrote: > > Hi Adele

Thanks, everybody. I suspected “bleached linen” but I wanted to be sure. Thanks, Sue, for pointing out the translations on page 30-31. Obviously I just looked at the patterns! Adele > On Jan 24, 2020, at 10:40 AM, suebabbs...@gmail.com wrote: > > P.S. Translations are on pages 30-31 of my

Re: [lace-chat] Posts and summer

One of our regular members is a librarian, and she has taken on the library as her personal project. We leave her to it! I think it’s alphabetical, but she may have categories going on - I’m actually not sure! We have one large bookcase that just has the books, and then other shelving where we

Re: [lace-chat] Posts and summer

Alice Howell’s message gives a good description. At my lace club we have our own dedicated storage room, but I used to belong to the local chapter of the Jane Austen Society; it had a fairly large number of members and each month the librarians would go to the house where the library was kept

Re: [lace] early lace video

We used to have an English woman in our lace club, who made her tallies by holding the 3 passive bobbins stationary with one hand, and just working the weaving bobbin over, under, over, under, and so on. It was very quick. Pity the film doesn’t show the woman’s technique. Adele > On Jul

Re: [lace] Point de Venise a reseau

The country of origin of Point de Venise a reseau is something of a mystery. Levey thinks it is Brussels needle lace. Earnshaw thinks it was made in Venice or Burano. Hey! I just had another thought. I saw a TV show on the Shroud of Turin, that showed some eager scientist who had
