RE: [lace] Lace ID (Susan H's question)

I think Sally is right -- the designer/creator used whatever techniques pleased her, and it doesn't fit into a particular niche. Also I do now see the needle lace filling stitches inside the loops made by the narrow braid. Lorelei From: owner-l...@arachne.com [mailto:owner-l...@arachne.com] On

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

RE: [lace] lace ID?

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

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:

Someone on Facebook just mentioned Marian Powys. I didn't think I knew anything about her, so checked on google. She has an item on the professor's site 'A Further Legacy Three Personal Lace Notebooks of Marian Powys' https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/articles/nb85_lc2.pdf She

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:

Hello Linda Looks like Irish crochet to me. It's a form of crochet with lots of padding and raised work done to imitate Venetian Gros Point needle lace. Brenda Can anyone help me identify what type of lace is on a bodice circa 1900-1906? I have uploaded two images of the lace with large
