Hi Kim
That's a very kind offer to end me samples of wire. It only needs a very short
length to measure but would have to be long enough to attach a label to. I
have only tried using wire for BL once in a taster workshop, and I didn't make
a very good job of it, but I understand what you

Hello Arlene and everyone
This is indeed a beautiful blog about lace - at the top of the page,
there is the name of the organization:
Asociación Encajeras de Bolillos Ibn al Baytar and that they are
from Malaga (which is a city in the south of Spain).
Somebody there is blogging cool stuff about
Did you notice??? Towards the bottom of the scroll of pictures is a
doily/handkerchief with a fancy fabric center, and the lace is being attached
to the fabric as it is made. I've never seen this in any book or class. I was
always told to make the lace first, let it shrink off the pins, and

The bird fan of Feb. 6 is not Binche. It is a Spanish lace, possibly
Ret-fi (a point ground lace)?
The bird is quite beautiful!

It looks like there is part of the hanky pricking right on the fabric
itself, pre-stamped as for embroidery patterns. Very interesting
approach.
And at that magnification the chocolate bar is even more obvious :p

Hello Arlene, Bev and Alice.
As a Spanish lacer, perhaps I can answer you some questions.
The person who runs the site is a man. The information of the lace meetings
is collected mainly from the web. The pictures are made by people attending
this meetings. For more precise information about the

I opened the picture in Photoshop to enlarge it, but it didn't stand up
to much enlargement. However, I wonder if what we're seeing is a paper
cutout of the eventual linen center? You can see that the pins on the
edge all around are going through this layer, and I wouldn't do that to
I'm wondering if the row of pins is the final edge where the lace is
sewn into the fabric and that the scalloped part of the fabric will be
cut away.

The straight lines of pins are there to hold the lace even, I should
think, regardless of what is underneath. This piece is worked on a
vertical bolster, too. Maybe the under piece is a guide, as Lauren or
Clay suggested.

I just copied it with Picasa and was able to enlarge it enough to see
that there appears to be another pricking with markings slightly
showing on white paper which is an addition to (or alteration of) the
pricking on the orange card. Since it is white thread over white paper

I recognize the man's name ibn al baytar. He has a group on facebook, and a
presence on picasa also.

I wonder if that is a real name, or he is just using it,
from the Wiki: Ibn Al Baytar was an Andalusian scientist, botanist,
pharmacist and physician who worked during the Islamic Golden Age (and
came from Malaga).
Interesting.

Hello, all -
You are right, Bev. This is the name of the association of lacers he
created.
Best wishes.

Well, I know you'll all be happy to know that I won a drawing that I did not
enter (in the UK) and will be getting one million US dollars and an Apple
laptop from the Micro-Soft UK corporation after I send them the information
they asked for. How nice of Micro-Soft to give away an Apple!
Congratulations! I've won at least five i-Pods too (or was i-Phones)!

perhaps they didn't realize where the Kula was? -- I sent an
