SV: [lace] IOLI Magazines - a Review Flax www.worldlacecongressbrugge2018.be

[Greet Rome-Verbeylen]

Dear ladies,

The Flax Museum in Kortrijk changed and renuwed in 2015.
Please have a look at our lacetour programm for next year:

www.woldlacecongressbrugge2018.be :
click on "Lace tour"", then on  "Kortrijk", click and you will find more 
information about the new Texture museum.
It is now more focused on linen and the flax history and less on lace.
But for next year they are planning to make a big lace exhibition again.

Please consider to join us on  the "lace tour" next year. So you can discover 
more exciting places.
You will not regret it.

Greet,  from a sunny Belgium.

Ämne: RE: [lace] IOLI Magazines - a Review Flax

I am dragging DH to Belgium next year, and plan to show him the Flax and Lace 
Museum.  I was there with my son Tom in 2009, and it knocked my socks off.  I 
understand the museum has moved from out of town to central Kortrijk, so I'm 
sure the displays will not all be the same.

Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where the temperature is pleasant, shorts 
weather, no rain, but far too many clouds.  And my Newfoundland dog has cancer, 
had a leg amputated, and now isn't eating.

I never saw the old museum but Vernon and I visited Texture on our way back
from Krakovany earlier this year, it is an amazing place and well worth a
visit. Watch out for all the pigeons, they are everywhere and you can even
buy one to take home with you.

I am glad that people liked the article. Regarding the one about the Flax
Museum. I know I took photos of this geneaology and now I can’t find any of
the photos from that visit to the Flax museum, although I have photos from
other places that I visited on that same trip. It was about the time that I
switched from film to digital, and yet I have digital of the other places.
Very frustrating. I don’t even know if the wonderful display is still up. I
looked at some photos of the Flax museum and it seems it may be in a different
building, or possibly remounted with newer museum techniques. Maybe someone in
the vicinity of Kortrijk could check it out. It was a great didactic display.

RE: [lace] IOLI Magazines - a Review

[J R]

Speaking of The Bulletin and travel articles by Devon Thein, yesterday I was
reading an issue from Spring 2005. The Article "Flax Madness" was just as
entertaining as the recent article. In 2005, Devon described a trip to the
Nationaal Vlas, Kant & Linnenmuseum in Belgium. The part that really got my
attention was mention of a "Genealogy of Lace". She said, "It was a massive
family tree of laces, starting on the bottom with reticella and
passementerie. Ribbons flowed from these origins connecting other laces to
them. They were aligned horizontally according to the year." 

I wonder if, what with modern technology, that chart has been translated to
electronic format or published in some form so it is available to those who
are unable to drop into the Linnenmuseum for a visit? I'm sure a lot of work
went into creating it. It would be such a shame if it was lost.

Re: [lace] IOLI Magazines - a Review

[Jeri Ames]

Thanks to Liz in Australia for commenting on delivery of two very late IOLI
Bulletins.  The second, the Summer 2017 IOLI Bulletin, features the new
editor's work.  Thank you to Prabha Ramakrishnan.  Your editorship is much
appreciated here in my lace research center.
 
The cover features a fancy work bag embellished with tatting.  I really
liked the inside front cover that showed  photos from each article in the
bulletin.  There is a lot of color in this issue, and it is printed on
quality paper making photos a joy to examine under magnification.
 
The issue has a Battenberg lace heart pattern from Loretta Holzberger, a Cantu
lace heart pattern from Lia Baumeister-Jonker, and a beginner bobbin lace
heart pattern developed for a Young Lacemaker Program sponsored by the
Minnesota Lace Society.  Any of these would make up into a nice Christmas
lace Arachne card.  The last will be so quickly completed that a lace maker
might like to make several to tie onto gifts and be used later as a small
decoration.  Any of these can be tied around a button or sewn to a garment
when you go out to demonstrate lace making.  Wear lace, please.
 
Jean Leader has provided a bobbin lace pattern to decorate the neckline of a
dress.  This reminded of a class Devon and I attended at the Cooper-Hewitt
Museum in NYC decades ago, before Devon began to volunteer at the Metropolitan
Museum and when I was still making lace.  The class was about how to make a
collar to fit an existing dress, and was taught by the late Radmilla Zuman.
 We often ask you to wear lace, as Liz in Australia does.  Why not use this
idea to make lace to decorate something as simple as a tee shirt?
 
True treasures for me are always information that adds to documented lace
history.  Devon has very masterfully described a Lace Study tour of Spain,
where she and 9 traveling companions pursued a rare gold lace called Frisado
de Valladolid.  So far, only 24 examples from about 3 centuries ago have been
identified and documented.  Perhaps more will surface now that Frisado
has become a focus of new study.  This fascinating 9 page article is amply
illustrated with color photos.  It is followed by a lovely 3 page article
about a two week lace tour of Sicily that Gil Dye took with a small group of
retired academics and their wives.
 
Liz described the Randy Houtz tatting article.  There are additional subjects
to single out for mention...  An article about lace stamp collecting, and an
article about Mary Eliza Fitch who was an early 20th century American designer
of tatting and crochet patterns.  The cover illustration comes from her
design for a fancy work bag.  Ladies used to carry small in-progress fancy
work in such bags when they visited each other.  Fancy needlework tools and
thimbles some people collect today were developed for these leisurely social
occasions.  There is a comprehensive bibliography, or search Mary Eliza Fitch
tatting and crochet for more information and patterns.
 
If this Summer 2017 issue is an indication of what is to come from Prabha,
then the Editorship is in very good hands.  There are lace lovers whose
only connection to IOLI is the quarterly bulletin.  Hopefully, this will
encourage them to renew membership and to share lace within their local
communities.

[Elizabeth Ligeti.]

Hooray, - and Wow!  The postie delivered the IOLI Bulletins this morning –
Yes, Plural – there were 2 of them!!  Spring and Summer editions, - so I
have Lots of interesting reading for tonight!

I have had a very quick flip though – and see there are Tatting patterns by
the Shuttle Brothers. Great! I love their patterns as they flow on through the
whole piece – very few, if any stops and starts till the end!  Like the
round mat in the previous Bulletin, I think only the last round was
“separate” – all the others were worked continuously.

So now my “To Do” list has grown somewhat  Well, I am off to
Launceston, Tasmania, on Saturday for a week of Lacemaking at the Australian
Lace Guild’s Annual Convention, (where I am teaching needlelace) so I may
get some tatting going while on the plane!

Yesterday I was demonstrating bobbin lace at a local Pioneer Cottage. I was
working on an Early Lace, - and had another early lace piece aro8und the
collar of my blouse – a pattern out of the Rosemary shepherd book – that
was probably (to my eyes, anyway) an edge for an Elizabethan ruff.  – so I
had to put it around a collar – didn’t I?!!  The weather was kind, and
Lots of families came out to visit, so it was very busy – but fun.  I have
been demonstrating lacemaking there at their Open Days for about 25 years I
think!

Regards from Liz. In Melbourne, Oz.
