I have been looking at pictures of the lace that Carmen has been making. Look
on the flicker account and you will see a handkerchief edging she is making.
By the way she is done with it and I am looking forward to seeing it off the
pillow. It is Ret-Fi lace that is very similar to Bucks Point
My dear friends, I had Lin put up a picture of a lace handkerchief on Flicker
for me today. What I want to know is does anyone know where to get this
pattern? Do you know the lace maker? I am sure it is from Spain but I don't
know where. Thanks for your help.

I am making lace for an alb. I want to get it done before I die and that may
take some two hours every day. LOL. Anyway if someone could research what the
women did who made it fast and accurate for a living, to put food on the table
and clothes on their backs, I would love to learn. I want to
I think the idea of community effort to make a large project is a great
idea. I know that was practiced in the past to get a large project finished in
the smallest amount of time. Many different lace makers would work on a
portion of the lace and then a trained person would sew the pieces
In the last few years it seems to me that we have emphasized perfection over
speed in making lace. I find that I am faster when I use continental bobbins
vs. using spangled bobbins. I have learned to do the the whole stitch where
you move both the cross and the twist together across the an area
Well, I love to have a challenge and so I have decided to make a lace that is
in the Lace Dealer's Pattern Book. But I have to pricking. I tried to make a
pricking but was not successful so I am going to ask all of you dear
lacemakers if you maybe have or know of a pricking for this pattern. I

I have been offering and teaching tatting and bobbin lace through the local
college. I thought that I would only get a few students and that they would
mostly be older. But that is not the way it has turned out. I have four to
eight new students at each class and they are young, 8-13years old
Dear Spiders,
Before I comment on the window lace I want to add my prayers and thoughts to
those in London. My heart is so sad.
You all have very good ideas. I like the one of mixing the lace and maybe
doing the trails and leaves in bobbin lace and some of the flowers in
tatting. I am
Well, it all started out with a new paint job in my kitchen and now I want
to put lace around the three windows that look out on my backyard. I was
thinking that I could do painting but I don't paint flowers or stencil and I
wanted to use an art or craft form that I didn't have to learn.
I am not knowlegeable about the history of lace at all. I have never seen
any real old lace like from England and all. I was interested that the
description said there was no stains and yet one of the pictures shows that
there is a stain. Having read what Tamara said I would be suspicious of
If we can't count the hours we are going to demonstrate lace in the lobby at
IOLI I was just wondering about some of my hours.
I sometimes sit in front at Hobby Lobby and demonstrate tatting to advertise
my tatting class at the local Jr. College. Would those be counted as
demonstration hours?
OK, If it took 10 women, 10 years to make one of those shawls then if you
put that into today and todays pay checks that would mean each shawl cost
how much to make? Let's see I will give it a guess that women make about
$30,000.00 a year, more or less, times ten is $300,000.00. Right? That
I don't know about the rest of you but those pictures of the lace put up for
auction makes me drool. I wonder how long it took to make those wonderful
Chantilly skirts and how many women worked on them and how much they cost
when they were first bought and how much compared to a days wage that
I have put some new pictures up on my page.

I have only done buckspoint and I don't know anything about chantille,
anyway I do have experience with lots of passives on the head side of the
lace. When I get more than four passives I work a whole stitch through the
first pair of the passives and then threat the next three pair like a single

I take mine to a copy store like Kinko's or Office Max and have them
laminated in a pocket laminating plastic. These come in several different
weights and are like two sheets of plastic connected at one end. I place my

working on a rectangle bucks point pattern that is about 4X6 inches. I have

I can't help but laugh when I read about getting straw out of a field and
making a pillow. I did just that and got alot of straw to make a Honiton
pillow. I had not seen or felt a real honiton pillow so when I made mine
out of straw I started with the directions in Elsie Luxton's first book. I

Yes, I did mean circumference not diameter. But I have another question. I
have noticed in some of the pictures of people making bucks point lace that
is very wide, like more than 4 inches wide, that they are making the lace on
very large cylinder pillows. Would that help with the pattern coming
I wanted to tell you all that the magazine Pizzo de Cantu is in Italian and

I was shopping in San Antonio, TX at a small store called the Yarn Barn and
found some magazines with Cantu lace in them. What intrigued me was that the
patterns were to be ironed on the pricking card like you would iron on an
embroidery pattern to a piece of cloth. Has anyone tried this and how
