Sallie sent me a larger copy of the pictures. The dining table cloth is Drawn Work. I'm still sure of this.
The sitting room cloth is probably crochet. It has the look/style of some eastern European laces but doesn't look quite right for bobbin lace in the larger picture. Crochet can imitate most lace styles. This looks well done but not with bobbins. I couldn't find a 'zoom' on my computer to enlarge the pictures, Sallie, but they did fill my screen so were much bigger than before. Alice in Oregon .. where I just finished a scarf except for the fringe. Now I can start something else. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bertrans1" <[email protected]> Alice, i have attached the original pictures. Maybe, you can enlarge these. I sure appreciate your help. Sallie On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 4:11 PM, < [email protected] > wrote: The lace on the dining table is Drawn Work. Some of the fabric threads are removed and the remaining cross threads are shaped and augmented with needle and thread. Some of the designs do resemble Teneriffe, or Sun Lace, a bit...when done in a circle .. but the base threads are part of the original woven fabric. I don't know much about fringing so I don't know if the fringe is all attached threads or if it's been augmented also. The lace in the sitting room could be bobbin lace. It looks like some patterns I've seen somewhere...Russian? Cluny? Wish I could enlarge the picture to really see the threads. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
