Designs in Venetian Point Lace
Designs in Venetian Point Lace
Article · 1 page
A 1898 Ladies' Home Journal article by Sara Hadley describing Venetian point needle lace, a style then new to America. It explains how the lace differs from Royal Battenberg (worked on the right side, no braids), how the raised corded outlines and buttonhole-bar background are made, and what threads and needles are needed. It illustrates centrepieces, finger-bowl doilies and a square table-cover alternating lace squares (triton and griffin designs) with hand-spun linen, and suggests uses such as church lace.

First of a six-part needlework series by Sara Hadley in the Ladies' Home Journal, May 1902, on Marie Antoinette lace work. It explains how braids, cords, rings and stitches are assembled on a pattern and appliqued to a net foundation, using a floral basket vestibule-door curtain (about 28 x 15 inches) as the example. Instructions cover Brussels stitch, Sorrento bars, basting braids to the pattern, applying the net, and pressing; photographs show the steps and the finished curtain.
