Re: [lace] 12 pair crossings
That is very unusual. Usually we Maltese work a flower motif where the tallies would be crossed in the centre. It would be more likely to have a row of flower motifs, âsunâ motifs or Maltese crosses on one band that would be joined to another band of motifs or ground stitches.

Sharon >From a verbal description it is impossible to say with any real reliability. Cluny, or its precursor Genoese are possibilities. If you are a member of laceioli you could post the photo there, and then you could get some real answers. Lorelei Subject: [lace] 12 pair crossings I have a piece of vintage lace and have now been shown 2 more examples where there are 6 or 8 leaf tallies crossing in a peculiar way. To begin with the tallies are long and skinny, where they join in the middle it appears that each half of either the 6 or 8 was made separately and sewn together later. Any ideas where this wouldve been made and when? Otherwise the pieces resemble Cluny.

Re: [lace] 12 pair crossings
I should have added that these joinings are different than what Sharon was describing.

Re: [lace] 12 pair crossings
Hi, I have quite a collection of antique Maltese lace and several pieces have the seam between strips where a multi tally crossing would normally be. I have a collar that has 8 tally 'flowers', with 4 tallies on each edge of 2 strips and you can see the sewing thread joining them to make the full 'flower'. I can try to upload a picture to Flickr but that might take me a while as I have not done it before.

Re: [lace] 12 pair crossings
Hi Sharon, Do you have a picture? I think Le Puy and Maltese laces use that technique for wide laces. The lace is made in strips and then sewn together, and sometimes the join is where there would be tally crossing.
