I have sent Nancy and Lorelei some photos that I took that I can only share
privately for study purposes. (Anyone else?) They show rather elaborate tally
grounds such as I associate with Honiton. This falls into the category of
something I never thought about before. But, when did tally grounds,

I'm with Lorelei, I can't see tallies, so I'm not sure of this
identification, but if it's braids connecting the motifs, how about
mid-18th C Brussels? Laurie Waters identified a very similar piece for me
as "Brussels a Brides", probably Flemish given the quality.

Very interesting. I couldn't get close enough to either piece to see tallies
or other details. Stylistically these fit in the first 2 decades of the
1700s. I would think the label "Flemish" is appropriate, or possibly "early
Brussels". This doesn't fit with the pieces usually called "point

Janice your giraffe is exquisite! Many congratulations and you must be
delighted with the result.
I am faced with a similar problem in that I am currently working on an antique
Point de Gaze pattern of a collar, given to me some 30 or so years ago by a
Belgian lady. At that time I didn't
She is spectacular, Janice! Well done!! I remember conversing with Holly
about that birth sac and what she was going to do with the design when she

had been traced back to the very early years after the dark ages, when totally
dark clothing began to be lightened with white linen cuffs and collars,
which... over time... began to be embroidered. This eventually
