Re: [lace] Arachne Flickr--new pictures posted

[hottleco]

Thanks Clay & Sue Babbs!  For some reason, I was using an outdated password.  
It's all good now!  I uploaded some new pictures so you would see I'm not 
loafing away the winter on the beach.  Plenty of mistakes but I am pleased with 
my first attempt at Ballantrae/Borris lace.  My picots especially need grooming 
so I hope practice is the key.  Getting the tape to lie flat was a learning 
curve although I think I got better as I went along.  Unfortunately, the DMC30 
thread does not match the Branscombe tape.  It's lovely to work with but has an 
ivory cast compared to the bright white tape.  The Bellon leaf is my second 
effort with the pattern.  The floss is dreamy--midnight blue, purple & sort of 
a bronze brown--"Seasons", made in Japan.  I mixed it with copper colored 
blending filament to make the plaited veins & used Valdani variegated perle as 
gimp.  Last but not least, I made another piece of Zakopane Polish lace.  The 
ruffled one is my first attempt, where I used linen thre!
 ad & it was too big for the pattern.  Too late smart!  The second one was made 
with Idrija cotton thread.  The result is neater but cotton is not the 
"traditionally correct" thread.  At some point, I will make another using finer 
linen.  Today, USPS delivered some Pella linen thread so Rauma/Finnish lace 
will be on my pillow as soon as I finish an in-progress egg.  What is everyone 
else working on?  Sue I am eager to see what you do with the lily pattern!!  
Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA

Re: [lace] Anne of Green Gables

[Devon Thein]

Good point, Nancy. There was a lot of Battenberg and Princess Lace then,
also embroidered filet. Of course that is why it would be instructive to
know if the research is directed to what people were wearing, or what
people were doing in terms of handwork.
Considering the characters, I can't see Marilla doing anything more
frivolous than crochet. Wasn't there a chilling scene when she told Anne
she would have to have two dresses exactly the same and when Anne requested
fashionable puffed sleeves this request was cruelly denied?
I can't recall though whether Marilla had strong feelings about decorative
table linens.
The Battenberg and Princess lace I see more as the provence of Diana and
her mother. Wasn't Diana taken out of school in order to learn how to keep
a house? Perhaps the level of housewifery which required that degree of
specialized training included some form of fancy work.

Hi Susan,

I went in by clicking on the Arachne link at the bottom of your email.  What 
popped up were pictures of extreme sports.  I had a vertical menu beside the 
pictures, and scrolled down to a link farther down which brought up Arachne.  

Hope this helps!

Re: [lace] Anne of Green Gables

[Nancy Neff]

Hi Devon,

Do you include Battenberg and Princess laces in "revival era lace"? because
there was a lot of that being made. I realize that's really a form of
needle lace rather than bobbin lace, but I don't see that the OP specified
bobbin lace, just "lace".

Re: [lace] Anne of Green Gables

[Sue Duckles]

Hi All

This is what Margot had to say:

The place to find out about current lacemaking in Canada is:
https://lacegazette.com

Lacemaking in Maritime Canada started in the 1600s, when that part of Canada
was a French colony.  We know for sure that the nuns taught Torchon lace at
Fortress Louisbourg, on Cape Breton Island.  (Geography lesson:  The Maritimes
are the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island in
Eastern Canada.  Cape Breton Island is part of NS and “next door” to PEI.)
Not much is known about lacemaking after those 3 provinces became British
colonies in the 1700s.  However, after visiting many museums, small and large,
in The Maritimes, I can say that I’ve seen lots of tatting and crocheted lace,
but no bobbin lace.  Lace on clothing from the late 1800s and early 1900s that
I’ve seen displayed has, without exception, been machine made lace. And
because this was, and is, the poor part of Canada, the machine lace has
usually been of poor quality.

There is a small group of lacemakers in PEI who might have some information.
They can be reached through the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette.

Hope it helps.

Or 'they' bought it by mail-order, e.g. the T. Eaton catalogue. If
interested, see pp. 92-93 of the 1907 Spring/Summer edition:

My guess would be that they were making revival era lace like everyone else
in 1908. So, winging it here, I would suggest cluny style laces that look
medieval. But, really, a very relavent question is "why do you want to
know?" Are you advising a stage or screen version of Anne?

Re: [lace] Anne of Green Gables

[Bev Walker]

Hello Nathalie and everyone

It has been a while since I've read Anne of Green Gables. I don't associate
lacemaking with that story.
Does the author mention lace?

Hi Nathalie.  I don't know the answer to this but I'm certain that Margot 
Walker will!  Hopefully she will answer on here!

[lace] Anne of Green Gables

[Nathalie]

Dear  all,

Does anyone has information about lacemaking in Canada?

I would like to know about laces from around 1908 regarding the
story of Anne of Green Gables.

Thank you in advance!
