Re: [lace] Christmas Lace

Thanks so much, Janice, for generously sharing your patterns. I know it’s a lot of work. The Seasonal triptych is so cheerful. I’ve made your Halloween cat and hope to work it again in a thinner thread, after I’ve made it through the holidays. Mine was a bit too solid. I wish my holiday

Changing the subject to something more pleasant, what are you doing this season in regards to "Holiday" lace.  Being politically correct there, but "Holiday" covers all the celebrations.  Last night I posted my design on the Bobbin Lace Makers Facebook page but if you do not subscribe to that

Re: [lace] Bucks point - on Ipswich-style Pillow at Smithsonian

There is not necessarily a relationship between American Ipswich Lace and England's Bucks Point, except that Mrs. Lakeman, who had made Ipswich lace in the late 18th C, used her equipment from that period to make the newer Point ground lace later in her life. -Karen - To unsubscribe send email

Sorry if this is a repeat.  Some may have missed it, or not realized the relationship between American Ipswich Lace and England's Bucks Point.   If someone who is a member of The New England Lace Group (Nancy N. or Devon?) has the capability to do so, I invite you to go to the August 2017

Re: [lace] Bucks point

Dear Karen et al, That is REALLY fascinating, for several reasons. The lack of pricking in the ground is obvious when you enlarge the picture. Then you look at the ground, and there are a lot of vertical lines that don't really belong in point ground. On the other hand, the lady who made the

Thank you so much for this, Karen. The pictures of the lace, which you say was made in the 1860s, but on an earlier pattern and equipment do not present an whole hearted endorsement for the practice of not using pins in the ground. It is sort of sloppy looking. I took a quick look through the
