Hi Peggy
Like you I took my teaching qualification and was teaching at the local
college taking over the class from a lace tutor who was retiring, she had
helped me during my training. A year or two into teaching there it became
increasingly evident that the college couldn't be bothered with and
So pleased to learn that I am not the only tutor who is not happy with all the
extra paperwork inflicted upon us. Having spent valuable time filling in
all the forms, can any of us belive that someone is going to sit down and
digest all this useless information we have provided? The 'powers
There may be some disappointed people out there wondering where the pricking
and diagrams for the IOLI freebie pattern have been hidden...
Unfortunately, when the pattern was added to the website, the file
containing the diagrammatic info was missed.

Hi all,
I know it's been a few days since we talked about the patterns, and I
said I was sticky tape challenged, but I did just want to thank everyone
who contributed tips to help me (and others like me) who have had some
interesting moments getting patterns together.
You've helped greatly. I
Howdy gentle spiders!
Listen, in my travels I have occasionally run across a kind of lace
that has been identified in several different ways. Elizabeth
Kurella's book calls it Miracourt, but I have also seen it
called Catherine of Aragon. It's a bobbin lace, fairly coarse,
with a heavy, wired
Janet Gillies wrote a little article about this for the publication of the
New England Lace Guild, but I don't know if Janet is still a member.

I have a few pieces, but know little about it. Any
knowledge is appreciated!

You can get a pattern for a lace from the right time. When the Dutch East
India Company's Batavia went down near Australia in 1629, she contained
both lace and bobbins. Get hold of:

There is actually a book of patterns (with diagrams) showing lace from that
time period. It is N. Andries CAROLUSKANTJES. It is lace from the
collection at the church of St. Charles Borromeus in Antwerp. Some are
complex with Flanders ground, Paris ground or random braided ground. But

My understanding of Mirecourt lace is that it is a French lace somewhat like
Bruges Bloomwork in that it is more coarse than Duchesse and simpler in
design. But the pieces I've seen are not as simple as Bloomwork. I'm

Thanks for this website info. Most of the lace depicted there appears to be
Cluny or what I call continental guipure -- straight lace with a braid
ground. But the page http://mirecourt.free.fr/ does show some free laces,
but only parts. Mirecourt is a free lace, as I understand it.

Yes, Devon, it is the same Liz Bartlett. The book is now out of print, and
Liz's own copy was stolen from her car, along with her laptop and a lot of
other goodies when she was in Bristol, England, for a weekend of
talking/teaching. I seem to remember that amongst the list of things stolen

Yes.

In Virginia, our climate is not so far off from that in
Indiana...(~slightly~ warmer, perhaps...) We do have hot
summers (complete with high humidity), and during the
winter, we average 4 - 6 significant snow storms a year...

days, and then

That's about all the French I know and it's probably wrong. LOL
I'm sorry to be so late in thanking you. I've had dental problems, a

It may sound crazy, but having a foot in plaster for six weeks does stop

to straighten my big toe, which mean some kind of bone fretwork and a nasty
