[lace] Lace Scrapbooks
Ilske wrote: years ago I saw a book similar the scrapbook Jeri described. It was the summary of handicraft patterns from a lady giving classes in knitting, crochet and embroidery. The last two or three pages were filled with bobbin lace pieces. Some looked like old lace pieces others like new worked ones. We couldn't find out if she made bobbin lace or if she collected laces. But in general I know nobody making or having such scrapbooks. I can say I am a lucky person to have such a scrapbook. It is booklet full with pieces of lace, made around 1915 by a student of the Rijksschool voor Kunstnijverheid (literally translated State School for Crafts) in Amsterdam. This school educated teacher for lacemaking amongst other crafts. The students made examples of different laces and techniques and glued them in a scrapbook. This teacher Marie de Jong taught bobbin lace at the lace school in Wijdenes and after her marriage privately to a lace club in Edam of which my grandmother was a member. Both women became friends and stayed friends also when my grandmother could not make lace anymore. This scrapbook came in my possession after her husband died. I am very proud of it and show it now and then to my students.

[lace] Help, Please!
Hi Spiders All, I am hoping that you can help me! A lace-making friend was hit by the North Sea Surge in December last, and her house is till full of sand and sea-water, as well as other impossible things, but she - and others in the same situation - has had a great deal of help from the local publican, whose inn is called 'The Lighthouse'. As a small thank-you gesture, she would like to make him a small picture of a lighthouse, but so far none of us can find a pricking. So - if anyone can eMail me a pricking, or tell me where to source one, I would be cery grateful indeed. The other possibility is a pricking/pattern for a windmill - the sais could be the beams of the lamps, so if anyone has anything remotely suuitable, do please let me know. I know I can rely on you all, and thank you all very much indeed in advance.

RE: [lace] Help, Please!
Hi Carol I don't suppose that this is going to be much help to your friend but I'm sure that there is a pattern for a windmill in one of Veronica Sorensen's books. Definitely not the Bruges flower lace, but one of the others, I can't remember which and am at work at the moment so can't check. This windmill is 3D so it may not be of any help but I think it's based on the smock windmill in Upminster in what now passes for Greater London, but when I lived a few hundred yards from the mill in the 1960s/70s was part of Essex.

Re: [lace] Help, Please!
Hello Carol, I will send you some scans from a Dutch magazine Kant Kwartaal published by Jolanda de Boer-van Nes in 1993. It is a pattern of a stylised lighthouse in waves.

RE: [lace] Help, Please!
I have actually seen a bobbin lace pattern for a lighthouse, but cannot remember where or when. Possibly in a German publication or pattern. However, if you search for lace light house, some pictures of crocheted ones come up, and you may be able to convert these simple designs to a lace pattern in Torchon. Sorry, I am not much help.

Re: [lace] Help, Please!
To help all in the future I found one in the Modern Lace designs book by Veronica Sorenson. It is a free standing model but might lend itself to reduction or adaption if needed.

Re: [lace] Help, Please!
Hi all Page 125 of Veronica Sorenson's Modern Lace Designs has a windmill, but it is a 3D model to be used as a table light, but you may be able to do something with it.

[lace] Lighthouse Lace Pattern Neede
What would help everyone on Arachne to get back to this subject in the future would be a subject line like the one I have given above, for our permanent archives. The Help, Please! made me think of those Spam emergency memos we all have received at one time or another from a relative or friend stranded overseas and in need of immediate money.

Re: [lace] Lace Scrapbooks
I have one that was made for me. In about 1956 my grandmother made a scrap book for me (age 13) of old lace handkerchiefs, collars and cuffs she had. She sewed each one on to the 1956 style scrapbook paper which is not acid proof. My mother added handkerchiefs to the book. Each item was labeled as to the kind of lace, original owner and/or where it was obtained. In about 2005, I removed each item from the bad paper and saved the notes she and my mother had written. I then sewed each item onto 12 x 12 acid free scrapbook paper and pasted on the original notes by the lace.. I saved the cover of the original scrapbook my grandmother had labled for me in gold letters. I put all the pages and the cover into a new acid free scrapbook with acid free plastic sleeves and added a few more lace antique handkerchiefs and a baby bonnet I had purchased on e-bay to the collection. Most of the lace my grandmother had was from 1909. Some from her mother's (my great grandmother) collars and cuffs Cuba, where she lived and some Teneriff lace from Venezuela made with very thin silk thread. I consider this to be a real treasure.

Rendas de Bilros de Peniche/Bobbin lace of Peniche from Barbara Fay http://www.barbara-fay.de/j2/index.php/en/component/virtuemart/bobbin-lace/kl%C3%B6ppelspitzen-aus-peniche-detail?Itemid=0 has a pricking or the watch tower shown on the cover. If you can draw, or trace, a picture of a lighthouse you should be able to produce something similar as it's essentially cloth stitch outlines with not-difficult fillings. Search Google images for 'lighthouse lace' and there are several examples of machine lace with lighthouses which could be used for inspiration.

[lace-chat] daffodils are blooming!
Here in Melbourne I have autumn crocuses out and in bloom. They are the big mauve ones that flower without leaves now , in Autumn (Fall) and send up their leaves in Spring. We actually had 5mm of water in the rain gauge this morning - a light drizzle over night, - only about the 3rd measurable amount since before Christmas!!! We would happily accept some of the heavy rains you have had in the northern hemisphere. In the north of the country - about 2500Km away from us here, they have had some good rains - it is the wet season in the tropical north, - but down south, where David and I are it is very dry. David lives about a 2½ hour drive away - out to the West of this city. Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz.
