@longitude0 I’ve just checked the brief and I see that cotton lawn is listed as an option so you’re right that it could have been!

@guildofstclare Exquisite. May I ask what the fabric is - lawn?

Big milestone for me today: I have submitted my final piece of embroidery for my Diploma at @RoyalNeedlework . This is my Whitework (Broderie Anglaise & Richelieu), inspired by medieval manuscript illumination.

The head of the @guildofstclare affiliated to @latinmassuk has completed her Diploma at the @RoyalNeedlework Traditional hand embroidery are skills needed for the restoration and making of vestments, and these are used and passed on at Guild events. 1/

Not only that - the Guild of St Clare offers sponsorship for the @RoyalNeedlework Certificate Course! See reply for details 😊

For my “Things I never knew existed” File. Did you know you can get a diploma for embroidery?

Have been speechless for the last 10 minutes looking at this angelic work.

@longitude0 This is Zula linen. Lawn would be beautiful but too fragile for this kind of work - you need a weight that is strong enough to stand up to the cutwork and the padded satin.

@guildofstclare @RoyalNeedlework Having done a little for C&G I can imagine the hours. Trailing ? is amazing.

@princessedamame @RoyalNeedlework I used a mixture of machine thread, stranded cotton and coton-a-broder. One of the things I love about whitework is the austerity of it - no colour, hardly any variation in thread - it’s just you and the stitches, and you have to create an impact with those alone.
English
@guildofstclare @RoyalNeedlework Beautiful work!! What thread do you use? I haven’t tried whitework yet.

@boetia_norico @RoyalNeedlework I didn’t keep a log, but it was more than 100 hours.

@guildofstclare @RoyalNeedlework So beautiful! How many hours did it take to finish the needlework?

@si_ad @M_P_Hazell @LMSChairman Don’t forget that the Sunday obligation is to attend Mass, not to receive Communion.
English
@M_P_Hazell @LMSChairman I wonder what will happen if we get to the point where we don’t have enough priests to have even one kind weekly.
Do we then have a service without Communion, as the Anglicans do? Personally I think EMHC’s distributing previously blessed Hosts would be better in that scenario?

I became interested in liturgical abuses at one point in my journey into the TLM and read up on liturgical law. I then realised that lots of things that I had assumed were allowed were not. I don’t recommend getting obsessed by this stuff but 1/
Henry von Blumenthal@PaulinusOfTrier
Has anyone actually been at a Mass where there was liturgical abuse, as opposed to seeing it on internet? I have seen these examples. (1) use of crockery at a Mass instead of proper vessels. (2) untrained volunteers being given the role of extraordinary ministers of holy communion resulting in compounded abuses. (3) refusal to give communion to a person who was kneeling for it.

Congratulations to the @RoyalNeedlework for these fab new curtains at the @ROH_London with the King’s cipher. The RSN also did the coronation robes. It is the repository of traditional English embroidery and trains the leaders of @guildofstclare for @latinmassuk We offer sponsorship — link in reply.

Peter Ustinov told a joke about the English prof whose car broke down in a forest somewhere in Europe. He saw a couple of locals smoking by the road and asked if they could direct him to town. They shook their heads uncomprehendingly. He tried German. No luck. French, Italian, Hungarian, Romanian…no luck. As he walked away frustrated one turned to the other and said “I wish I could speak other languages.”
His friend shrugged. “Why? They weren’t any use to him, were they?”

@ArmandDAngour @STrosterud @pronouncedsimon @gadboit2 Michael Bentine once argued that knowing the word 'Please' in any language was usually sufficient. He then gave examples of it working, and also of it failing horribly.

A rare talent for playing psychopaths: the Spectre assassin in From Russia With Love and Henry VIII in A Man for All Seasons. Sadly I don’t believe we are related.

Just discovered Robert Shaw, who played the hard-bitten fisherman Quint in Jaws, actually spoke in a slightly camp, slightly high-pitched voice, and was English. He also had ten children and died four years after Jaws was made. He appears to have been a sufferer of gingerism, for which there was no cure in those days (and still isn't). We can only hope this is simply a case of gingerface.

This is a good comeback. But we can also point out that the success of home education has something to do with the fact that it doesn’t spend half the available hours checking and evaluating what was delivered in the other half.
blighter@blightersort
Jill is 100% correct. we should absolutely evaluate, test and check-on home-school kids. if they are not performing at least as well as the worst kid in a public school then they should face the same consequences as a public school with similar performance. so, to take an example, 23 schools in Baltimore have zero children scoring proficient in math. Because of that, those schools have faced the consequence of getting extra funding. thus, if a homeschooler is found to have performance that bad or worse, they should also be given extra funding, I guess.

@FrMatthewLC @CatholicPebble A young mother of my acquaintance was reproached by an older lady for saying the rosary in Latin, because “we didn’t do that before 1962”. This shows a fundamental misunderstanding about the contemporary traditional movement. We aren’t trying to recreate the past.
English
I think modern TLM promotors often think that pre-Vatican II liturgies were just like theirs.
However, multiple older people (priests & laity) have told me about issues. Super fast Masses were common; people often were unaware (Mass was going on up there but you just prayed the rosary or sat there); lack of catechesis; all about duty, not knowing & loving Jesus; etc. The average TLM today generally attracts the type of Catholic who will be extra reverent during Mass, but this is not what the TLM was like when every Roman Rite Mass followed it.
Almost those who pushed forward the "Spirit of Vatican II" in the 1960s-80s lived decades of their life with TLM.
Many of the liturgical abuses in recent decades would be there even if TLM were the norm as it's about people's mindset.
In conclusion, the average TLM before 1965 was not nearly as reverent as the average TLM today. The issues of liturgical abuse and heterodoxy are more about individual mindsets than a specific rite.
English
As someone who thinks the TLM is vastly superior to NO, and who would wish nothing more than for the TLM to become the ordinary rite again, I have a question that bothers me:
Why didn't the widespread TLM and reverence prevent the so-called V2 spirit and heterodoxy?
And if it didn't, why do we think the widespread use of the TLM now would be able to solve the current apostasy?
