Hi everyone Thanks Adele for mentioning the Gazette article in the Fall 03 issue, contributed by another Arachnean, Nicole (I should also mention the article is in French).
Last year, in the Fall 02 Gazette supplement, we put another article on 3-pairs Flanders, pertaining to an 'exhibition' in Idrija called "The Lace-making School of Gorizia - Artistic Ways" (the author, Mirjam, of the museum in Idrija, uses the UK English definition of exhibit/ion). Here is a tidbit about the origins of the name of this 'stitch' ..The central part of the exhibition in Idrija, is from the lacemaking school of Gorizia, as the title explains...the knowledge of lacemaking was brought to Gorizia by Ursuline nuns who had come from Vienna in the 2nd part of the 17th Century. Two of them were from Liega by birth, a city which lies in present-day Belgium and where the 3 pairs Flanders stitch was well known then. That's the bit. At the time of publishing that article, I had no knowledge of the 3 pairs stitch - now I do thanks to Nicole who went to the course in Italy. -- Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) Cdn. Gage dictionary: 'exhibit' applies particularly to an object or collection of things put on view at a fair, exhibition or other public show. 'exhibition' applies to a public show of works of art, rare objects of any kind, lace, commercial objects, etc. (ok, I added the word 'lace'). - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
