some very good friends of ours. I only have until the first week in February
to finishing it, but I do work better under pressure. We have been invited to

why do you have to flip the diagram upside down ? I would scan it and print it

Ah, there is one type of English lace that is back-to-front :o) Downton lace
(from the Dorset/Wiltshire area) is worked with the footside/headside swapped
compared to other English laces. Don't ask me why though, 'cause I couldn't
tell you!

Dear Lacemakers, Thank you all for your help in my search for Piper Silk
that is no longer available, but special thanks to Pat Hallam who has so
kindly offered me a reel of the same, thank you Pat I can now get on with
the project, have a good holiday and hope you see plenty of lace in Malta.
You might try craft shops and those little scrapbooking supply shops...
I've seen zip-loc bags of all sizes in those shops - although not the
gia-mongus ones.

I have made the arcing 'rose' pattern, the one done in all half-stitch. I did
it in gold colored wire, but I think a gold cord would work also. I mounted

I will jump in here too...'cause I have seen it...and in my stuff..(Lordy it
is buried). I _think_ I can date about when I saw it and maybe that will help
me narrow the number of possible stacks. I will certainly 'yell' when (if) I
find it.

waves I found it, says Bev.
At least, I found what I thought Lorri meant, and her description
reminded me of what I had seen recently from my files:-
It is 'Gathered Flower' by Gil Dye, in Lace 87, pg. 31.
There are 5 scallops per length.

That sounds like what I remember, but mine was just a copy, no name or

A nice piece of lace on a card with a 50th anniversary title might be
appreciated. Or even just a blank card with a nice lace motif, that
they can frame at some point if they so desire.
I'd also suggest a cake band if you knew they were having a cake and who

Bev said:

She also described a derivation of the pricking for a blind
lacemaker, by cutting out a cardboard template of the scallops
with notches along
the edges so the lacemaker could know to place the edge pins by
feel.

There is a half stitch rose pattern formed in five layers of petals on page
70 of Dentelle aux Fuseaux by Fukuyam Jusai (which seems to have been
printed in 1982). There may well be others.
One could also adapt the rose pattern from page 83 of Roses in Bobbin lace
by Kortelahti and work it

I don't know where the pattern originated either, but I think it may be the

All of the talk of the new IOLI Bulletin got me to thinking that I
hadn't received one in quite some time, so I started doing some
checking.
I wrote the check in September - a bit past the deadline but had e-

December so
don't worry! when ever you get a chance will be fine! thanks!!

Dorte, it is only the pricking that arches. The pattern is similar to a
doily edging, about 3/4 of a circle, in an arch about 6 inches across. When
completed the 'arched' strip is rolled and gathered into a 3-D flower.

What is an arcing rose?
