Re: [lace] YouTube of early bobbin and/or needlelace

[Jill Hawkins]

I was also surprised to see that the lacemaker was using what I know as
"Bucks thumpers" to make Bedfordshire lace. Thumpers refers to the style
of bobbin she is using. I was not aware that they used thumpers for Beds.

Re: [lace] early youtube of bobbin and/or needle lacemaking

[Jill Hawkins]

Hi Devon

There are a couple of Pathe News videos on YouTube. This one is bobbin
lace making from 1931: http://www.britishpathe.com/video/lace-of-long-ago.
Here is one from 1929 that shows tambour lace: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf9pmm7Yk78.
Not sure how you would get a license to use them.

Re: [lace] What is best way to inventory lace books?

[Jill Hawkins]

Hi Jeri

The New England Lace Group uses Book Connect from Collectorz.com. This is
an online, web-based software that is very easy to use, and can be
accessed from anywhere. The subscription costs $24.95 per year and
includes regular software updates. Collectorz.com also offers a version
called CLZ Books, which is a one time purchase of $14.95, which includes
many of the same features as Book Connect. There is also Book Collector
which is downloadable software, so access is limited to the computer
where it is downloaded. The one-time cost is $49.95 and software updates
are free for one year.

Book Connect features approx. 40 editable fields, including author,
country, language, dimensions, edition, issue, volume, title, ISBN,
publisher, publication date, number of pages, purchase price,
genres, category, sub-category, description, condition, condition,
current value, purchase date, purchase location. NELG has categorized our
library books by type of lace, instruction books, history,
identification, etc. The catalog can be downloaded and printed and you
can customize which fields appear in the online catalog and printed
catalog. NELG has further identified our books by their location (i.e.
which box they are located in). This helps when someone wants to borrow a
book from our library since several members have several boxes of books
each.

Books can be added by scanning or keying in the ISBN, or the author
and/or title. The system automatically searches for a match. For example,
a search today for Pamela Nottingham returned 20 results. All results
include an image of the cover, the title, author, publisher, publication
date, ISBN, number of pages, dimensions, and subject categories (e.g.
bobbin lace, lace and lacemaking). When you have located the book you
want to add, simply click "Add to Collection", after which you can edit
the record to add additional information. Books can also be added
manually, and a photograph of the cover uploaded. This is very useful for
self-published books or articles that would not have an ISBN.

We have a public link on our website to our library:
https://cloud.collector z.com/NELACE/books/view. The view can be
customized to display different information - for example, if you want to
look at the books by cover, rather than in a list.

There is also the option to manage book loans and create a wish list for
future purchase. NELG has used Book Connect for the past several years
and would highly recommend it.

Re: [lace] bobbin

[Jill Hawkins]

Hi Alex

While I cannot provide any insight into the bobbin, I was intrigued to
notice that it appears to have a slight bend in it. I have quite a few
bobbins (both bone and wood) that exhibit the same phenomenon. I have
been unable to explain why this is. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

RE: [lace] Lace Fish, finished in a short beginner session

[Jill Hawkins]

Dear Jeri and fellow arachnids

The lace fish patterns are on Alex Stillwell's website; here is the direct
link to the patterns/instructions:
https://alexstillwell.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/fish-1-9.pdf. Alex
provides the following helpful advice on how to print your patterns: 

"This set of pages should be printed using the paper size A4 setting and the
'booklet' facility of your printer. Even if you use a different sized paper
this should give you two pages per side arranged so that you can place the
pages on top of each other and fold them in half to make a booklet. If you
do not have this facility print two pages per side. The A4 setting is needed
so that the prickings will be the correct size. "

If you want to browse Alex's website where there are plenty more free
patterns (for children and adults), the address is
https://alexstillwell.wordpress.com/.

Kind regards
Jill

Re: [lace] English lace museums - updates

[Jill Hawkins]

Dear Leonard

I live close to Bedford and have visited the Higgins several times since it
re-opened after the refurbishment. Although the lace that is now on display
is
limited, there IS a lace display of some of the key Thomas Lester pieces.
There
is also a display of lacemaking equipment featuring a pillow horse, a bobbin
winder, a lace lamp and a piece of Bucks point in progress on a pillow.

I also recently attended a talk on the Lester Collection and was fortunate to
be
able to view and photograph all the other pieces in the collection.  The
Keeper
of Social History is Lydia Saul. She gave the presentation and is very keen
to
show the lace to anyone who is interested - whether in a group or as an
individual. Her contact information is on the Higgins website at
 http://www.thehigginsbedford.org.uk/section_5.aspx.

Jill
Milton Keynes, Bucks

 Bedford Museum and the Cecil Higgins Museum have been combined, and one of
the
 casualties is the lace display - there isn't one, and individuals asking
to
 see specified pieces of their marvellous collection have not managed. Â If
you
 do want to try, make contact first and a firm appointment, good luck, and
let
 us know if you get anywhere with them.

RE: [lace] About Jeri's Posts

[Jill Hawkins]

In my experience, life frequently follows the 80/20 rule, where 80% of the
work is done by 20% of the people, and the same seems to apply to Arachne.
There are prolific contributors, and some who lurk and never post, and
others who post from time to time when there is something they feel they can
comment on.  All members of any group should be made to feel they have equal
worth, regardless of what contribution they make.

It is unfortunate that a specific lace group was mentioned by Jeri. I am
friends with many of the members of that group, and most of them will not
post on Arachne because they feel that they are not as erudite as some of
those who regularly post. If their personal opinion is that they have
nothing worthy to say, then why should they write?  I wonder how many
other Arachne members might feel the same way?  I do not comment on Jeri's
posts - even though it is clear that they are very thoroughly researched.
They are most likely of great interest to some members, but I skim them
because I am usually only casually interested in reading about a topic in
such detail.

Being a very active volunteer in many groups, I have given up expecting
thanks or even an acknowledgement of my contribution.  That goes with the
territory, I'm afraid.  Sometimes I get down-hearted, but for the most part
I enjoy what I do and am pleased when I hear that others also enjoy it.  I
admit that getting a 'thank you' once in a while is very gratifying, but it
is not my motivation.

Re: [lace] Demonstrating strategy - Gossip Pillows

[Jill Hawkins]

A couple of years ago at a demonstration, one of the lace makers brought a 24
cookie pillow for beginners to make a snake.  The enterprising lace maker had
put 4 prickings on the pillow (along each point of the compass: north, south,
east and west) and had 4 children work at the same time.  It was an extremely
good use of limited demonstration space and the children loved being able to
keep an eye on what the others were doing and who was working the fastest.

While this is not exactly a gossip pillow, it is a good strategy for
demonstrating - with adults as well as children.

Re: [lace] Blue film

[Jill Hawkins]

I agree with Devon that copying the pricking onto colored card is a good
approach, but will only work if your printer doesn't chew up the card, or if you
can convince the local Staples store that you aren't infringing on copyright
when you want something copied when it has a copyright mark on it (like many
lace patterns).  I have explained, in vain, that it is for personal use, but it
seems to fall on deaf ears.  If you chose to use colored paper instead, it
should ideally also be stiffened - especially if the pricking is intended for
more than one use.

If you order something from the EU to ship to the US you should not be charged
VAT.  In fact, SMP Lace states quite clearly on their website that they do not
charge VAT to anyone outside the EU, which equates to a savings of approx.
16.67%.  In addition, there is no surcharge if you use VISA , Mastercard or
AMEX.  Overseas orders up to 2 kg (approx. 4.5 lbs) are sent airmail (which will
cost around GBP 18.00).

Alternatives do exist, but I will stick (pun intended) with the blue film

 Apparently blue film is widely available in England. Here it is totally

 impossible to get without sending funds overseas, and contending with the
 intricacies of the VAT system.

 But, the question arises as to why it is still the norm in classes in the
 US for the teacher to arrive with the patterns printed on white paper,
 rather than on blue paper, since at home we are all responding to the
 unavailability of blue film by photo copying the pattern onto blue paper or
 card,
 which is laughably easy and cheap. The only time I need the blue film is when
 I go to a class.

 When something is unavailable, people switch to other things instead.

Re: [lace] blue film and book inventory

[Jill Hawkins]

I always get my blue film from SMP Lace (http://www.smplace.co.uk/index.htm
).
 They sell a 10 meter roll for £36.00.  If someone from the US is going to
the
National Christmas Lacemakers Fair in early December, perhaps they could
pre-order it, bring it back to the US and then send it to you?

Re: [lace] Programme on Opus Anglicanum on BBC4

[Jill Hawkins]

Many thanks to Louise for posting this.  I watched last night on catch up TV
(what a great invention that is!) and I totally agree that the programme was
absolutely fascinating.  The close ups of the needlework showed the stitching in
fantastic detail and it was mind-blowing how many hundreds of hours of work must
have gone into making each of the articles that was shown.

I hope that non UK members will be able to enjoy the programme somehow.

 BBC 4 has just finished had a short run series Fabric of Britan .The first

 I haven't watched the second one yet on wall paper. But the third, last night,
 was really very good.   Beautiful focus on stunning early mediaeval church
 copes, and a demonstration from the RCN on the stiches involved. They even
 pinpointed the date at which the skill declined with the great plague, and
 when inferior continental techniques came in.
 
 I've posted the iplayer link - its available until Sunday. There is a clip
 under more info nonUK people might be able to see.
 
 Here's the blurb
 The Reformation in England witnessed the destruction of the most brilliant art
 of the medieval age. Church paintings and stained glass - even sculpture -
 were destroyed throughout England in the name of religion. And yet one art
 survived against the odds - the art of medieval embroidery.
 Portable and easily squirrelled away, English embroidery was spirited out of
 the country in the 16th century and many brilliant examples survive today - if
 slightly unappreciated and forgotten in Italian churches and museums, even the
 Vatican. And yet it is an art form that rivalled the very finest in medieval
 painting or stained glass and for 200 years was the finest embroidery in the
 Western world. Known simply as Opus Anglicanum (English work), the work of
 English embroiders was desired by kings and popes throughout Christendom.
 Dan Jones, Plantagenet expert and medievalist, goes in search of these fragile
 yet stunning survivors from the great age of embroidery - encountering a world
 of finery, bejewelled luxury and sacred beauty on an undreamt-of scale.

Re: [lace] Prince George's christening

[Jill Hawkins]

Thanks Bev.  I am very surprised that there is machine made lace on this piece 
of heirloom clothing.

It seems the Royal Family has really lowered their standards.  A lot of the 
lacemakers I know have purposely gone to the major effort of making lace for 
the christening robe of their grandchildren.  Too bad if the Royal Family 
can't patronise a national treasure and do the same.

[lace] Prince George's christening

[Jill Hawkins]

I just read in The Times that when Prince George is christened in late October, 
he will wear a christening robe of fine Honiton lace.  The robe will be a 
handmade replica of the robe made in 1841 for the christening of Queen 
Victoria's eldest daughter, Vicky.

Does anyone know who has been involved in making the lace and how they were 
selected for such an honour?

Re: [lace] Its been a while coming

[Jill Hawkins]

Hi Sue,

They are Romanian point lace and the cord is worked with a crochet hook, laid
out on a pattern (just like needlelace) and then filling stitches worked.   The
cord is fun to do (once you've worked out how to do it!) and it is one of the
easiest laces to design your own patterns.  There are several good tutorials on
YouTube, as well as some great books by Syliva Murariu.

Re: [lace-chat] Lace and vision

[Jill Hawkins]

I too had problems a few years ago with a large cluster of floaters, that at one
time left me with doughnut vision in one eye for several months.  No lacemaking,
sewing, cross stitch, knitting, etc. and not much reading.  I can attest to how
frustrating it is, but there is nothing that can be done except wait and hope
that they will dissipate or drift out of your line of sight.  That's what
happened with mine - the large cluster has broken up into smaller clusters that
have drifted to the side.  They are still there, but I have either grown so used
to them that I can now ignore them, or I have compensated somehow.

I know it's hard, but in my experience, patience is really the only way to deal
with floaters.

You do need to make special arrangements to see what is in the archived

 Someone, Sally Barry, I think, has drafted some patterns and published a few

 Stephanie Peters has some more info on the original on her website if you
 google for it.

 The pattern book comprises about twenty pages of small samples of mainly Bucks
 Point lace, with a few pieces of Bedfordshire, mounted on paper. The pages
 were in a leather bound book that originally belonged to a dealer, possibly
 John Spencer of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. Two of the pages are of
 black lace, the remainder are white. The book was used to show what lace was
 available for private order.
