Hi Carmen
Yes, I have attended many courses of Mariña Regueiro. I just love her
classes and she is really so nice.
In summer she teaches in her county (Galicia) several courses. I myself have
not been there, but have attended intensive courses in Madrid, usually with
an invited foreign teacher

another photo from the same Picasa album . i love Chantilly but will
never try making any .. not enough knowledge of the art .May I remind
everybody that for traditional Chantilly you must use *grenadine* silk
, preferably black .
but then you don't have to be traditional ;)
I haven not worked Chantilly, but there are lots of laces I've never
worked!! So much lace, so little time... ; )

Chantilly, I'll want to know!!

stay in the '70s until the retreat is over at the end of June!!
We'll see... ; )

Thanks SO much for sharing this:
It brings to mind something I had in the back of my mind as a major project.
Could this be made into an over-layer for a bodice? Does anyone have

Hello Clay,
the Chantilly lace in the 19th century made around Chantilly was made
from this Grenadine named silk. It was a non boiled silk, very fine
and what's very important relly black. Not grey-black as the silk used
in Belgium. This is a point to distinguish French Chantilly from Belge

I cant thank you all enough for all your emails about these 3 areas of
finishing a piece of lace off. Even though I have read before and been
making lace for 7 years now, I
Thank you, Ilske!
Even more good information! I know that some of the black silk from
the mid 19th century turned brown with age, and some of it disintegrated
due to the caustic nature of the dyes used. So if France had a pure
black color that did not destroy the silk, and the color stayed

Many years ago I made a gown with a lace over lay on the bodice. But with
this project I used expensive machine made lace. I basted the lace to the
brocade satin base fabric before any sewing took place. Then sewed the
bodice together which included the darts and seams and all.

Hello Fellow Spiders,
Just my 2 cents worth on some of the recent subjects being discussed.
I was taught that the leash length should be 1 - 1.5x the length of the
