Re: [lace] looking for pattern
Hi Marianne, I went through my books, including Anne Collier's book, and did not see a pattern for an Angel. However, in Collier's book, the costumes are period costumes, and have capes and collars, etc, which might seem somewhat angelic if you weren't sure what you were looking at. Likewise, the other Needle Lace books and miniature lace books that I looked through did not have an angel either. Perhaps you were working from a special pattern that was sold individually by the designer? I have a pattern like this (in bobbin lace) that is meant to be completed with a painted wooden head and pipe-cleaner body. Clay Good luck on your search!

I am hoping someone can help me. One looks like the parts of an angel, (skirt, bodice, collar and wings), the other is 4 butterflies, 2 about ¾ inch the other 2 about 1.5 inches, fairly simple designs. I have all of them on one piece of calico, so I have the feeling they came from the same source I think that at least one comes from the book Lace in Miniature by Ann Collier, which I think I had, but can’t find right now. If someone has that book and can check to see if there is an angel in it, that would help, since if it does not contain either of the patterns, I can stop looking for the book and get on with starting a new design. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry! Meant to trim, but after sorting through books, just forgot!

RE: [lace] looking for pattern
Hmmm, makes me wonder where I got the pattern. It definitely looks like wings with the design, though I had not yet outlined them, but I had started on the skirt, and there are beads added near the hem. But since it doesn't seem to be in any of the books, I am going to have to do some more searching. I do have a few guild magazines and newsletters from when I belonged to the lace guild in another town back in the early 90's, and if I don't find it in there, I'll have to go through my many years of Anna magazine.

Re: [lace] lace conservation supplies on Pinterest
Perfect, Laurie! Even if we only have a small piece or two, your instructions make it easier for us to keep those treasures special. The care one puts into the piece reminds the owner of how precious the lace is.
