[lace] Lace ID?

This morning I found braids, similar to the lace sample, on bestneedleart.com under braids, DMC. Two widths of flat braid with straight edges--very plain. The bumpy "catepillar" braid is the one that we've all used in workshops. Then there are the decorative braids, zig zag etc. used for

Re: [lace] lace ID?

It looks to me like someone combined techniques.  There are a few filling stitches and the picot bars for connecting. But it is primarily Irish Crochet motifs. On Thursday, July 13, 2017 5:43 PM, "hottl...@neo.rr.com" wrote: Hello All!  I just posted a scan of a

Re: [lace] lace ID?

I agree that this does not look like Romanian Point. However, to my surprise there are indeed needle lace stitches, filling in the loops where the cord or thinner tape loops around itself just inside the corrugated, thicker crochet tape around the edge. Amanda in Philly, Pennsylvania, US On

Bev As I understand it, Romanian point lace has a tape made by crochet. But the empty spaces between the tapes are filled with needle lace stitches. This piece has no needle lace stitches. Lorelei From: Bev Walker [mailto:walker.b...@gmail.com] Susan and Lorelei, Bunches of grapes with the

[lace] Lace ID?

Thanks Lorelei, I had never heard of Bruges crochet. Goodness, I'm so glad I asked the question as I learned another new thing! Regarding the lace, the owner thinks it is Romanian point lace. I am doubtful. The cording is unusual & the lace itself is not constructed in the "tape lace"

Re: [lace] lace ID?

I think it looks like Romanian Point, too. I compared it with the examples in my book (“Romanian Point Lace” by Angela Thomson and Kathleen Waller) and while there isn’t anything that’s *exactly* the same, the style of the design, the undulating cord, the bunches of grapes and the grape leaf

Re: [lace] lace ID?

Hello Susan and everyone I found it finally, looked all through your album at Flickr but it is at the beginning! Just a guess, it looks like Romanian Point Lace. The grape motif suggests to me Eastern European origin. I could be way off! but I don't see it as Irish crochet. On Thu, Jul 13, 2017

RE: [lace] lace ID?

Susan An interesting piece. That wide outer border tape is something used in something called "Bruges crochet". But I don't think it actually has anything to do with Bruges. The Irish crochet elements are very interesting, especially the maple leaf shaped ones. Lorelei From:

Hello All! I just posted a scan of a lace mat that belongs to a friend in Ohio. If anyone has an opinion as to its origin, I would love to know. The undulating cord, picot bars & Irish crochet motifs are quite robust. The entire mat is approxiimately 12"x12". Many thanks. Sincerely,

[lace] Lace ID reference books

In relation to what Alex was saying about Mechlin and what it meant in the 18th century, I think that Santina Levey says fairly early in her book that most of the terms we use now were coined by lace dealers in the late 19th and early 20th century, and would be unrecognizable to people in the era

Re: [lace] Lace ID

As lace type this belongs to the Guipure laces. If it comes from the region of Mirecourt is verydifficult to decide. So in my opinion it's better to stay by the lace types than the places they were made. Greetings Ilske - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line:
