All the bobbin part laces that have scrolls as part of their stock of motifs
work them in different ways. Not wildly different ways. Honiton, Duchess,
Withof, Bruges Bloomwork -- all different. And too diffcult to explain in an
email. The answer would be like writing a small book. What k

Pat Read has instructions in her first book on Milanese Lace (can't remember
the exact title but some Arachnean can, I'm sure). Do different bobbin lace
types use different methods of making scrolls?
Congratulations to Sweden on the safe arrival of a Princess. Nice to hear
some good news for a change!
I see you mention Vadstena.. Look at the latest photos of Lace at the Lace
IOLI site that Lorelei mentioned and there are some photos of a book on the
lace, and the lace made from the pricking
Hi Pen,
Try " Milanese Lace An Introduction" by Patricia Read and Lucy Kinkaid there
is a very good section on starting and finishing scrolls in that on Page 20
I found this book indispensable when learning Milanese.

Hello All! Sorry to say, I couldn't find the children's patterns at the main
Google page. Since I'm technologically challenged, is there an expert who
would make a tiny url?? Thanks Lorelei for the other links to various lace
works. The tatted skunk is a hoot. The little caterpillar is ador

There is a book by Rombach-de-Kievid BRUGS BLOEMWERK, 1984, Terra Zutphen
pages 11-12, which also has the Bruges scroll. But it is in Dutch, which I
can't read. I have to rely on the diagrams and the Sutton book is about the
same. Are you getting holes at the pin, or in the middle of the sc
Hi Lorelei,
Thank you. A number of very useful ideas and possibilities here for anyone
teaching young people. It is quite easy and useful to use their own drawings
as well as keeping the youngsters (and also older beginner-students) fully
engaged.
Happy lace making,

Dear Arachnids
I have not looked at the pictures of the 'handkerchiefs' but Joan Tyler-Smith
showed me some square handkerchief-like items with circular centres and wide
lace edgings, many of them silk, and she explained they were made to cover the
face of someone who had died. Does anyone know mo
THanks Lorelei, What charming patterns! I ended up looking through the
whole gallery. There are some neat BL pieces done from children's
drawings - really cool! And lots ofother simple patterns.
Fun!

I wanted to make another Easter Egg from Annelies Kirst's 2nd book.
It's one of the patterns with a butterfly labeled "Duchesse-Ei" on page 18.
I've enlarged it a bit & I want to work it in coloured thread.

I was reading the book "Point and Pillow Lace" by Mary Sharp (printed in 1905)
and she mentions a painting by Quintin Matsys (1466-1529) of a girl with a
lace pillow as proof that bobbin lace existed in Belgium as early as the end
of the 15th c. I searched the internet and could not find this pict
Please can anyone direct me to a book that shows how to start a scroll.
I've found 2 methods in Bridget Cook's "Practical Skills" & another
different
way in Ulrike Löhr's "400 Tricks" & I'm going to dig up a Duchesse book.
But I just wonder if someone's recently worked a scroll & can help to me.
