Regarding all forms of needlelace:
I think that Catherine Barley may have developed a technique to handle
this. She is on Arachne, has written a Batsford book "Needlelace Designs &
Techniques", and her work is breathtaking - an example is in the Poppy lace
project. Through the years, he
hi Miriam,
I have not worked Romanian Point, but have had this problem in embroidery. I
have found that keeping a fine beading needle handy is a lifesaver! I run the
needle from the front to the back until just the eye is in front, and then use
a loop of scrap thread to pull the working threa
Hi spiders,
After many years I have taken up again RPL. I haven't done too much in the
past, I have a lot of instructions and patterns.
But I have one problem, what do you do when you run out of thread in the
middle of a filling and can't get the thread on the needle back to the
braid in order to
Hello All--Thank you Tess for posting the photos!! Your friend has some

Beautiful. What an incredible legacy.

I have just recently had the good fortune to meet a lovely Romanian
woman who lives in Portland, Maine, and in the course of our
conversation I found that she had a small collection of Romanian point
laces made by her mother and mother in law in the 1970s. She was kind

Very nice, Lenore! Your crochet braid is excellent - the whole project is well
done. Give yourself an extra chocolate for that..

The list is quiet today with everyone celebrating the Holiday. I
would like to share my latest project, a Romanian Point Lace sampler.
I bought a copy of Thompson & Waller's book, and decided to give it a
try. I drew out a little tree and made a sampler, about 4x5 inches.

Hi All, Don't mean to start a bidding war but I saw these Romanian Point
Lace patterns for sale on eBay. I wonder what Angela has to say about them?

Hi All and Welcome Home Tamara!! I was just looking at one
of my Battenberg books last night and realized that it also
shows Romanian Point lace! It does include a few RP patterns
too. The book is "Il Pizzo Rinascimento" and the RPL section
says "Uncinetto Rinascimento". It was published in 198
This is the information taken from "Peasant and erudite arts and
textiles in Spain" APECYL 1999, about mac-rame:
The name of "mac-rame" is arabic in origin and means "knot". The knots
are made with hands and it is originated by the Assyrian people.

Dear Spiders
I was out giving a lecture last night (Golden Domes and Samovars - a Russian
adventure but with only a bit of Vologda lace) so could not reply on crossing
braids.
Miriam does not come until Friday, so I have time. I have been sorting out
pieces of Romanian lace to illustrate the ta

Since the Battenberg-style tapes are flat, it's easy to cross them.
Crossing the round Romanian cords would create an unsightly (to me) bulge.
It may not be a rule of the lace, but it would certainly be ugly to my eye.
However, many Battenberg-style patterns that have loops in them can be made

patterns but I see it is not. Guess she's busy with Miriam! What fun
they're having I bet . I was interested to see Karen Bovard's e-mail. I

Thanks Patricia for mentioning the Romanian Point Lace book. The reason for
the abnormal quietness is that I have been doing other things. You may
remember that I had my big toe straightened just before Christmas, not just an
ordinary pin, but some fancy fretwork on the bone. This was very pain
Dear Lace friends,
Thanks to all of you who viewed my laces . . the number of views was over
500 . . I am amazed at how many "lurkers" there are on Arachne !!
Thanks for all the nice comments too ! I am trying another one from her book
:-). One technique which Angela mentions is that the Romanian

I greatly enjoyed seeing your lace on community.webshots.com. I really like
the Cluny piece and the colored laces. That community webshots site is a
great invention. Whichever lacemaker first discovered it deserves a medal.
It's a good place for us to share our work.

Hi Sulochona
Your flower is so pretty!!! I love how you used the variegated thread. I
made a heart in Romanian Point a couple of years ago, to try it, but found
crocheting the cording was very hard on my thumb joint :( I think it is a
very interesting lace and look forward to seeing more of yo
Dear Sulochona,
Your work is beautiful! You have inspired me. I don't do needlelace, but have
had a burning passion to do Romanian Point. I probably won't get to it in this
life, but who's to know later...
Happy Lacemaking

Dear Lace Friends,
Three years ago, I joined Arachne after I saw some beautiful Needlelace in a
book, and then by serendipity , came across Arachne on the Web a couple
of days later. My very first posting to the group was about Battenberg lace.
So, NL was my first love, BBL ( before bobbin lace).

As I did not know when the book would be available in USA etc. I did not say
anything. We have had a lovely family wedding and this took over my life for
nearly three weeks. My nephew Simon, who lives nearby, married an Italian
