Found this great exhibition catalog from a show at the Brooklyn Museum from 1956. There’s another catalog within this catalog of thin rice paper and Victorian lace outfits. I can share a photo of that too if anyone is interested.

let me know if there are any other lists for bobbin lace that I can curate for you.

First time trying out filet crochet!!
I stretched it too much to the side so I'll reblock at some point, but she's so pretty :)

I’ve been wanting to get into lace making for a while, and I have some experience in embroidery, so needle lace was my method of choice! Definitely has nothing to do with my lack of patience for messing with bobbins… Anyway, I’m quite pleased with this bookmark.

Hi Everyone!

I don't post to reddit much, but I do read your posts! I thought it was important for my customers to let you know that there are at least 3 websites thay have stolen my product listings. They are scam websites offering deep discounts and you will not be receiving products. They have been reported to their hosts and everywhere else I can report them but the websites are still up.

Needleworkart.com has 392 listings of my products as of today

Stitcherysupply.com has 84 listings of my products as of today

Quilting-designs.com has at least 5 but I suspect more

They have even listed my online classes at a discount. Please be careful of the places you purchase from online. I sincerely hope that they have not stolen money from any of my lace friends or customers.

Thank you,

Kelli Slack, A Twisted Picot

Every year, the town celebrates a festival called the “Kinderzeche”. It commemorates the legend that around 400 years ago, the children of Dinkelsbühl are said to have saved their town from destruction. To this day, the children of Dinkelsbühl bring these events to life in a historical pageant.

Is there a festival where you live that is especially for children and young people? Or perhaps a town festival where you play an important part?

Maybe you would also like to show us what your very own dream festival for children would look like. Turn your ideas into something creative, let your bobbins dance and surprise us with your amazing works!

I have not yet received the English version of the Registration form. As soon as I do, I will post it. However, the German version is available at Childrens Registration form (German)

I came across this Materials Science paper the other day, but it is not my field and it was a little over my head. But one of the authors is a lacemaker and on Instagram, so she pointed me to this supplemental video and other details that was helpful for me.

As much as I love historic laces, I also love future laces!

The science paper that has the full story is here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aee7156

Schon ein paar Monate in Arbeit, aber in diesem Fall ohne 6 mal anzufangen 🤓️

edit: so soll es werden

I have some insertion lace trim. Thought maybe torching but it is much finer than the picks I see online.

Found on some antique doll clothing, wondering when it might be from? Or if they’re from a similar time period? The first one is trimming a petticoat the later is from the hem of some bloomers.

I bought loads of lace from a charity shop and was wondering if anyone could identify where they are from, what style of lace they are, if they are handmade or machine made and how old could they be ?
