Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this heartfelt tale of labor and love, Ernst produces one of her most winning combinations of historical evocation and clever mystery."—Kirkus Reviews Greed, Uncertainty, and Death Get Tangled in the Mystery of a Rare Piece of Belgian Lace Curator Chloe Ellefson needs distraction from the unsettling family secret she's just learned. It doesn't help that her boyfriend, Roelke McKenna, has been troubled for weeks and won't say why. Chloe hopes a consulting job at Green Bay's Heritage Hill Historical Park, where an old Belgian-American farmhouse is being restored, will be a relaxing escape. Instead she discovers a body in a century-old bake oven. Chloe's research suggests that a rare and valuable piece of lace made its way to nearby Door County, Wisconsin, with the earliest Belgian settlers. More importantly, someone is desperate to find it. Inspired by a courageous Belgian woman who survived cholera, famine, and the Great Fire, Chloe must untangle clues to reveal secrets old and new...before the killer strikes again.

Download or read book Lace and Lace Making written by Alice-May Bullock and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of lace are probably in net-work, which is referred to in the Bible and has been found in Egyptian tombs. The more elaborate forms, such as needlepoint and bobbin lace, did not appear until the fifteenth or sixteenth century. It is generally agreed that needlepoint lace was developed in Italy while bobbin lace was developed in Flanders, and it was from Flanders and other European countries that thousands of Protestants fled to England to escape religious persecution, bringing their lace making skills with them. Lace and Lace Making charts the early history of this craft, and then recounts how various European forms were adapted. The book describes how the bobbin lace industry operated, with home workers selling their work to touring lace dealers, and how this cottage industry was disastrously affected by the introduction of lace making machines in the second half of the eighteenth century. The book also talks about lace schools, their customs and holiday celebrations, the lace tells that were recited while working, the many attractive and historically interesting bobbin inscriptions, the numerous laws that were made regulating the wearing of lace and the ways that were found to circumvent these laws-such as smuggling. A great amount of detailed research has gone into producing this book, which provides a fascinating account of a once important craft industry that is now enjoying a welcome revival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AnnaSznajder centers this ethnography of gendered creative practice in the lace-making community of Bobowa, Poland. Grounded in rural gender studies and feminist epistemology, Polish Lace Makers: Gender, Heritage, and Identity is a pivotal historical and modern account of the social and economic behaviors of entrepreneurial craftswomen tasked with preserving the originality and symbolic value of lace. Sznajder traces the evolving work strategies and occupational identities of this community from the early 19th nineteenth century up to the modern day, outlining the challenges of World War II, communist rule, and socialist Poland. The case studies included in this account are emulative of the larger struggle of female entrepreneurs to self-manage, innovate, create, and provide for themselves and their families. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, sociology, gender studies, and European studies.

Book excerpt: An Irish family stays together with the help of Fiona’s talent for making one-of-a-kind lace in this heartwarming immigration story from the New York Times bestselling creator of The Keeping Quilt. Many years ago, times were hard in all of Ireland, so when passage to America becomes available, Fiona and her family travel to Chicago. They find work in domestic service to pay back their passage, and at night Fiona turns tangles of thread into a fine, glorious lace. Then when the family is separated, it is the lace that Fiona’s parents follow to find her and her sister and bring the family back together. And it is the lace that will always provide Fiona with memories of Ireland and of her mother’s words: “In your heart your true home resides, and it will always be with you as long as you remember those you love.” This generational story from the family of Patricia Polacco’s Irish father brims with the same warmth and heart as the classic The Keeping Quilt and The Blessing Cup, which Kirkus Reviews called “deeply affecting” in a starred review, and embraces the comfort of family commitment and togetherness that Patricia Polacco’s books are known for.

Book excerpt: St. Zélie Martin (1831-1877) is best known as the mother of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, one of the most-loved saints of modern times, but she is also a saint in her own right. In this work of historical fiction based largely on St. Zélie's letters, a compelling portrait of a working mother who always put God first comes to life. St. Zélie is a saint many women can relate to. She suffered from anxiety, struggled with work-life balance, grieved the loss of children, cared for aging parents, had a child with special needs, and dealt with personal illness. Above all, she loved God and her family and had a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. In this intimate portrayal, you will come to know a complex woman who achieved holiness while living in the world and dealing with the stress of modern life.
