Hello everyone,
Â
In 2009 or 2010 I think it was, I spent a few weeks in Nice . One afternoon
I went to a nearby hill village, Grasse, that is particularly celebrated for
perfume. I found a small museum at the top of the village near the main
road with a beautiful display of local costumes
Thanks to all who responded! Pat of Roseground has gone the extra kilometer
and my thread is on its way to Bellingham.

Dear lace friends,
It's a long story, but I would really like  some Brok 24/3.  Just in case
there's some lurking, unwanted, in your box of lace thread, please email me
privately. Thanks!

Hi Jeanette,
Sorry to post this to the entire list, but my emails to your personal address
are returned to me as undeliverable - probably by your security system because
of my email address. It is a valid address but, unfortunately, it is similar
to those that scammers and hackers from
Jeanette has asked,
Can anybody direct me in the direction of a pricking for a fan in Flanders
lace? A friend makes mainly fans and would like to make one in each type of
lace. She has now started learning Flanders with the purpose of making a
fan.
I have two patterns for fans in binche that I
Margery writes: My voodoo board (great name, never heard it called that
before)
I cannot lay claim to having named the voodoo board. The first time I heard it
called thus was in an arachne email from an Australian lacemaker, whom I cannot
now name. I didn't think to save the email. I
Hi Jeanette,
I have two fan patterns in Binche, that I got from Anny Noben years ago. They
both require hundreds of bobbins, and I have never seen them available anywhere.
One of them I made, it turned out wonderfully, but it was a challenge. For the
first third, I had to rely completely on
Hi Jenny,
I looked at your lace very carefully and have been thinking about it off and on
since you wrote your message. I've mangled lots of lace and even more
handwoven linen, and I think your piece is too small to judge whether mangling
is a good thing or a bad thing to do to lace. The
Hi Karen,
Aha, I've found it!  Here's a website of museums in Florence: Â
http://www.museumsinflorence.com/index.htm  It's very good, and I'm pretty
certain that the lace display I saw was in the Palazzo Davanzati museum.Â
Half way down the Palazzo Davanzati's page the lace collection is
Hi Karen,
I saw, the last time I was in Florence, about 5 years ago, a wonderful display
of lace in an old, renaissance palace somewhere in the center of Florence sort
of near the cathedral. I can't remember the name of the palace. The lace was
in a corner of a back room. The palace itself
I was taught by Anne Marie Verbeke at the Kant Centrum to use inputs and
outputs for those bobbins moving to/from the cloth areas from/to the ground
stitch areas two pairs at a time. The two pair I would call simply inputs or
outputs.

Dear Bev et al,
Thanks for your response. I mean
Hi Lyn,
I don't quite understand your problem - are you working 4 pairs at a time?
When you are doing the ground stitch, are arranging your 4 pairs, double
stitching in the middle, half stitching on one side, half stitching on the
other, pin, double in the middle?
Or is it in the cloth
Here's my reply to Lyn - I forgot to add arachne to the address line this
morning
Ok, it's when you are taking pairs out of the cloth stitch areas and the two
pairs join the ground stitch areas?
When you take two pairs out of the cloth stitch areas, 1. you take the worker
out through the
I don't see why not. All the teach-yourself-to-play-some kind of musical
instrument books have disks in little pockets in back. It's so much more
accurate to scan a pattern for a pricking, and flexible.
