Fwd: [lace] tatting query
This looks like a row of crochet or a row of buttonhole stitches has been added around the individual motifs in order to join them together. Hard to tell from the photos - even the enlarged version.

Fascinating piece of work. The wide rows begin with a regular tatted chain with a cluster of picots (I think 15) in the center section. I can't tell even in the most enlarged photo whether the next round is crocheted into the picots (using single crochet or maybe even slip stitch--my crocheting terminology is rusty) or if it's another round of tatting that is linking into the picots below. In any case it's the most effective way of broadening a chain I've seen in tatting! Thank you for bringing this to my attention!! Also, Clay wrote: Greetings Everyone! ...a Binche piece from Anne-Marie Verbeke-Billiet's Syllabus Binche III, and she describes it as an example of Point de Fée lace. I've been talking with some of my local lacemaking friends, and so far, we have been unable to resolve the puzzle of what this term means in lacemaking. We have some ideas about the literal translation, but that does not, of course, take into account the nuances of the language and give us the accurate meaning. and Ilske answered: As far as I know from Anne-Marie, this sort of Binche was invented at the beginning of 19th cent. and because of it delicacy it was given this name. I think it was called Point de Fée because it seemed only fairies could work such fine thread in such delicate and complex patterns. Something like Beatrix Potter's Tailor of Gloucester, whose embroideries and buttonholes looked like they were made by mice... I didn't realize Point de Fée dated to the beginning of the 19th century-- I believed there was a break in the making of Binche-style lace for most of the 1800s and Point de Fée was revived in the late 1800s-early 1900s as a high-quality, localized specialty. On the other hand, someone must have preserved the working techniques for a revival of that quality to be possible--I can't see reinventing Binche from scratch! Happy New Year to all, Sue.

Thanks. Alice in Oregon === Yes it is tatting mixed with crochet. The specific technique is a row of tatting completely covered in picots. Then the picot loops are crocheted together. Very appropriate for a bedspread, which is so large, as the techniques adds some presence to the pattern. Personally I can't imagine making a gazillion motifs!
