When I had to make a bridal hankie, I used "Little Danish Hearts", a Bucks
version of a traditional Tonder design. I used a blue gimp around the hearts
and mounted it on m
I know this is not lace related, but thought you all might like to see some
of the pictures of what happened in Queensland. A friend of ours sent these
from the Netherlands. The picture referencing sightseers reminded us of the

Hello All! You have the advantage on me--as you know I didn't bring my pillows
to Florida so it's been a "mostly embroidery" vacation, rather than lacemaking.
Does it count if I've dreamed up some new ideas?? I did have the opportunity
to visit with SFFG (South Florida Fiber Guild), a charmin

I received several of Christine Springett's books in the mail, along with 2
incredible handkerchief patterns, the rose, and wisteria, since I have both in

I am just finishing Louise Colgan's wedding hankie. It's Torchon, with rose

really quite pretty. lrb

I'm now back from two weeks of almost continuous travel. Although I managed
to keep up with the LaceNews Ebay Alerts (barely) with the hotel internet
services - I've got a lot of catching up to do on postings.
I just put up a post of my visit to the Chantilly lace museum. Later today
I'll be fi

Which ever it is I don't mind either of the interpretations will
suit me!!! A lady in our lace group tells me that it's to catch the

What would people choose to do for an older bride who doesn't want children,
more children, or cant have them? I did work one in class which I thought
was wonderful, but now I see it with more experienced eyes and see it a
little thin in the leaves/tallies/wheateats. Also my eyes are not wonde
Brenda said "I've always understood that the wheatears (pointed tallies) in
Bedfordshire lace is the fertility symbol"
That seems most probable as the corn dollies, made (traditionally) from the
last
sheaf of corn to be cut, were a fertility symbol to ensure a good harvest
the following year.
I had to hand mount a largish oval edge recently. Using the pricking, I
traced a slightly smaller oval onto a piece of tissue paper, tacked that to
the fabric, then machine stitched along the traced oval line. I then tore
the tissue paper away, and was left with a neat row of machine stitching
I've always understood that the wheatears (pointed tallies) in Bedfordshire
lace is the fertility symbol and a hankie edged with a Beds pattern which has a
lot of wheatears was traditionally given to a bride to ensure that children
would result from the marriage.

I have made Christine Springett's fertility hanky a few times and it is a
piece of cake. The mounting of the scalloped lace is something else - for
me at least :-).

Hi Regina
The pattern comes from 'Motieven in Kleur' by Sebastiana Van Den Herik,
(pictured on the front cover of the book) and I have used the same
design for all the trees including the 'winter' one - I did try to draw
a more wintery shape but decided they would look better all the same. I
