[lace] Forget me not flower
I have been asked to make a forget me not in bobbin lace and so far I havenât found one specifically labelled that in either of the two books I have that I can lay my hands on at the moment. I need to hunt for the other one and havenât yet had enough time to do that. I have the idea of the petal shape even if not actually mentioned as that but the images I have seen of the flowers themselves seem to show a ten point white star shape in the centre before the lump thing (not very technical and my memory is not finding the word I need, so sorry).Has anyone seen the right sort of shapes in any of the lace books to help my search please. Thank you for any help in advance.

[lace] re Forget me not flower
Thank you for all the picture images of the flower which I had already found in images, but what I am needing now is to locate a pattern to make a free standing on to add to my collection, and maybe go inside the glass dome. I haven't found the missing book yet as I have been soaking in the bath:-) We were shown an item on the local news recently where a west country hospice (in the UK) had commissioned the same company to make some forget me not flowers who created that fabulous display around the tower of london but no where near the same numbers. A very pretty display over the next month but I have been asked to make one in Bobbin Lace in memory of a special lady. All or almost all the pictures people sent me show what looks like a white star in the middle and I am not sure if it is artistic license, or a lighter shade on the lower outside edges of the petals. I dont think I have ever been close to them as a flower and only in picture form.

[lace] lace: War Laces made in Belgium, WWI
The first group of 37 War Laces in the Smithsonian American History Museum collection is now available for study on the web. Please give me feedback, as this is a work in progress, and we have much to learn from you about these important laces. *http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object-groups/world-war-one-laces http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object-groups/world-war-one-laces* Click on expand to see the relevant information on each lace. Clicking on each picture will enlarge it. If this link does not work, try searching collections.si.edu and then search War Laces. A few more will be added to the website later as they clear some hurdles. The lace collection at the American History Museum contains approximately 50 War Laces made by Belgian lace makers during World War I, and donated by American collectors. I am often asked why they are housed with American History, as they were made in Belgium. Textiles were very important in developing early America, and are therefore housed in this museum. Lace is part of textiles, and the donors are Americans. Also, specifically for the War Laces, Herbert Hoover (later U.S. President) played a large role in establishing the Commission for Relief of Belgium during WWI. I have been a volunteer with the lace collection for the last 16 years.

[lace] Every week an edging or insertion
Gom,On the website there is a mention of a pronkrol.  What is the purpose of a pronkrol?  Is it to keep your sample laces on for show and tell?  This is a pretty torchon edging. JaniceThese edgings and insertions can be combined in a âpronkrolâ. This weekââ¬â¢s edging is published on my site http://bit.ly/1wTaqm5 http://bit.ly/1wTaqm5. It really is an edging to practice torchon lace with 2 different fans, and several torch motifs. Have fun with it this week. Janice Blair Murrieta, CA, 60 miles north of San Diego www.jblace.com www.lacemakersofillinois.org - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Every week an edging or insertion
Hi Janice: It is like a sampler, with the laces attached to a piece of cloth that is backed with another cloth. The backing cloth is turned to the front of the piece and stitched to form a protective edge, with the samples running across the pronkrol, inside the edges. As you thought, it is rolled up. There is a lovely little YouTube video of someone unrolling a miniature embroidered pronkrol - here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXbZkOQFndc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXbZkOQFndc Hope this helps.
