Re: [lace] What is the biggest and the hardest piece of lace you have eve...
Thank you, Jopie! Yes, I suspect you are thinking of the right pieces of lace! I worked another piece in the group last year, and a photo is also in my Flickr set. The diagram is printed on a large (A) sheet of paper which, when folded, is A-4. In spite of the large size of the paper, it still requires both sides to print the entire diagram! This is true for all of the designs is "Lieflijk Brugge". I chose to make working copies of the diagram, and it takes three ledger-size pages to get it all! By the time I've finished the project, those three pages are worn out!

Hi Clay and fellow Arachnids, You are much admired Clay for taking on such a difficult piece. If it is the lace I think it is the diagram may run to 4 pages, this is a piece of Binche lace is VERY fine and intricate. I saw a series of ten or twelve pieces like this in Brugge a few years back. They were beautiful! I am not surprised you chose to do one (or more) of these. Your other piece of Binche is 'other-worldy'. As beautiful as the antique piece of Fairy-Binche I have in my collection (4 inches (10 cm) diam. Joepie, East Sussex, UK -Original Message- From: Clay Blackwell This isn't the biggest piece of lace I've ever worked, but it is right up there with the hardest!! <. ..>The piece is "The Jerusalem Church", which is part of the "Lieflijk Brugge" folio of designs by the Kantcentrum Masterclass.<.. ..> I have reached the bottom of the second page of the diagram, and will be especially happy when I have finished working the tree on the left...
