RE: [lace] lace magazines/membership

[J-D Hammett]

Hi fellow Arachnids,

The magazines I subscribe to are; Lace  and the Young Lacemaker (both from the
Lace Guild, UK) and Lacemaking (the magazine of the Lace Society, UK) with
articles, book reviews, patterns & news from the world of lace. The  Lace
Express  with patterns and eye candy but no articles at all. Vuelta y Cruz
which is brilliant as it helps my Spanish study as it is written in Spanish
and English. This has articles on lace, patterns as well as series of lessons
for a particular type of lace. And lastly but not least OIDFA which lacks the
frequent patterns found in the others but which has more internationally wide
ranging articles than the others. All of them have things to offer which are
useful to lace makers.

I know it seems a lot, but I share with my best friend who is also a lace
maker ;-)

Happy lace making (and lace-reading)

Joepie, East Sussex, UK, where spring has sprung at last. The temperatures are
rising nicely and we have had a couple of really nice (dry) days. HURRAY!






I have just joined OIDFA so I am looking forward to getting their
publication.  Other than that I read the IOLI Bulletin and the Piecework.

[lace] IOLI convention classes

[Anita Hansen]

I am happy to say I received class confirmation for my first choice!  I will be 
learning about various needlelace techniques in the Needlelace practicium with 
Laurie Waters.  I was originally bummed that Kumiko wasn't teaching Binche 
again this year because I would have had plenty of room for a lace pillow in 
the car for the drive to Indy.  But it will be nice to travel "light"!

[lace] Kant lace magazine

[Anita Hansen]

By far my favorite lace publication is Kant magazine from Kantcentrum!  It is 
in Dutch as it is from Belgium, however it comes with supplement pages which 
contain English and other language translations.  I love that nearly (if not 
every) issue has a Binche design or two! There are also other techniques.  Very 
clever Torchon mats!  There is usally more than one design in each issue that I 
would love to make.   It is a high quality, colorful magazine. I highly 
recommend it!

[lace] Keeping Arachne a Vital Lace News Resource

[Elizabeth Ligeti]

I have not received your messages Gon. I get the Digest, and have not seen
them  - or your query about are they getting though - , so there must be a
glitch along the way.
I enjoyed being reminded of the next pattern  that you used to send.  You do
a wonderful job, and a big thank you.

Janice I got my first choice class - Hooray!!  For the first time ever -
I am having a tatting class!  Hopefully it will help me improve a bit!!  I
have had help from  friends - Noelene being one of them, when we met at a
weekend "retreat" last year!, -  but I have never had a formal class in
tatting, so I am looking forward to it.  I have come back to the craft
fresh, and am enjoying learning all the new techniques that have evolved
more recently!!
I must find something easy but interesting to do on the plane as it will be
a long, boring day otherwise!!

I have not had my Bulletin yet either!

Re: [lace] Gifts - Why we should say Thank You

[Lin Hudren]

​Dear Gon,  i have missed your postings and have enjoyed receiving your
weekly challenges and awesome examples.  thank you and please be assured
you are well appreciated.  unfortunately, i did not receive your inquiries
and not sure why.  we corresponded the time i had difficulty with getting
the example for a couple of weeks in the transition of your changes but you
were most helpful to me.  thank you again and, i especially, would greatly
appreciate your continuance.

thanks, Jeri, for your kind words.  i have incurred the lack of "please and
thank you" in our daily lives these days.  i am gratified, tho, that with
the bookmark exchange, i have been thanked for organizing it.  i incurred
the blessing of such a great response this year that it speaks of
appreciation two-fold.  it is amazing what these little words do to one's
spirit.

thank you all for sharing your knowledge and experiences.  also, a thank
you to those who ask questions as it triggers memory and/or creativity for
me.  i mostly respond to individuals and not the group as i am not usually
sharing knowledge - i often wonder if i even have any - but i do try to be
upbeat and positive in all situations and am thankful that the postings
have not been negative in the last months.​


Hugs, Lin and the Mali

[lace-chat] Re: [lace] Keeping Arachne a Vital Lace News Resource

[Sue Babbs]

I have just realised that I haven't seen any of your messages since 
February - and certainly none asking if the messages were being received. 
I was very happily and diligently downloading your patterns every time I saw 
a message about them, and have them all saved up till 2016 week 7.  I'm 
afraid I have been too busy in the last few months to notice what wasn't 
happening and been barely keeping up with what is.


I am very grateful for your lace patterns, and also for your weekly 
reminders that a new one is up, and hope that you will continue doing so. 
Thanks a lot

[lace] Gifts - Why we should say Thank You

[Jeriames]

Dear Gon,
 
This message was received in Maine.  I know exactly how you feel,  Gon.  
You take time - I am sure it is a few hours of thought, sometimes  making a 
sample, getting instructions organized, and computer work to  get each message 
organized and set to go.  You share something  that others on Arachne would 
sell, but which are free to Arachne  members.   Has anyone made enough 
yardage for something special?   Write about it.
 
Everyone:  Our manners could be better.
 
There are about 1,000 members of Arachne.  Most of the replies to my  
message have been from regular correspondents.  I know that Lace Fairy  (Lori) 
often needed appreciation for all her work, but did not get  it.  In the 
beginning, she was working 18 hours a day on it.  Let  me boldly repeat:  She 
was 
working 18 hours a day on Lace Fairy!   My reaction is that surely some 
people could jot down some notes  the next time you attend an event that is 
lace-related, and report to  Arachne.
 
I know others who give much are rarely acknowledged.  Many write  for the 
lace bulletins published for lace groups around the  world.  Why not tell 
them you like what they made or wrote about?  I  cannot believe your upbringing 
did not include sharing and a few words of thanks  to anyone who gave you a 
gift.  I proofread a very nice newsletter  published here in New England.  
The editor is one of the best.   She spends many hours on a quarterly 
newsletter of 20 pages.  She does not  receive feedback.  
 
On Arachne, we get to know each other better if we participate by  
correspondence.  
 
You make new friends by joining some of the bookmark/Christmas card  
exchanges.  Have you thanked the people who organize the lace  exchanges?  Just 
wondering.  There are a lot of pairings, and it is  only the regulars who 
report back to Arachne.
 
You may be busy, but there is always time to say thank you.  
 
You do not have to buy fancy paper and envelopes, find a pen, write, get  
dressed up, commute to a post office, and stand in line to buy stamps - to  
perform this social activity.  It can be done at midnight, for Heaven's  sake.

Dear  Jeri and fellow lacemakers,

I hoop this one is coming through. If so  I can send more messages again,

[lace] Lace Demonstrating

[cec]

I begin my 8th year demonstrating early bobbin lace at the Virginia
Renaissance Fair on Saturday.  If there are Lacemakers in the area or
anyone who enjoys a family friendly day out please come to the Fair.  
The fair runs Saturdays and Sundays from May 7th through June 5th in
Spottsylvania County Virginia. and information and directions can be
found at www.varf.org.

[lace] Elisa Ricci books

[Tess Parrish]

I thought I had sent this a couple of days ago, but apparently without
success:

The two volumes of Elisa Ricci's Old Itallian Laces have been sent off to the
Museum of Folk Art in Santa Fe.
(http://www.internationalfolkart.org/exhibitions/exhibition-details?eventID=2
833). It is very gratifying to have found a home for these two beautiful books
which now will be available to anyone to see.  They show quite a few lace
books in their catalogue, and are apparently interested in adding to their
collection.

Just to back up a bit: I found these two beautiful books at a local used-book
store in Portland, Maine, and the librarian at the Portland Public Library did
a fine job of restoring them to perfect condition. And as a suggestion to all
who might want to donate lace books to a library or museum who might want
them, it is possible to place a value on them and use that as a tax deduction.

An interesting adventure with a very satisfying conclusion!

Fwd: [lace] Keeping Arachne a Vital Lace News Resource comment on "OIDFA"

[Maria Greil]

Dear arachnians,

This is just to thank Antje very much for her flattering words, but most of
the merit should go to the teasurer of OIDFA in Spain, Ángel Domínguez, who
is an outstanding male bobbin lace maker and an even better manager.

By the way, has anyone of you thought of becoming an OIDFA member?
It is really worth because it does not cost too much but you get plenty for
the money spent!!  For the yearly fee you get at least 4 magazines in
English and French with a lot of interesting information about lace.This
year we are having the OIDFA congress in Ljubljana (Slovenia) with many
excursions to bobbin lace centers in the country, courses and conferences
among other interesting issues. The next one will be in Bruges in 2018.

For more information, please have a look at this link:
https://www.oidfa.com/index.html.en

Since we all are a bit 'crazy' about lace I thought you might like to know
about OIDFA...

Best regards,

Maria Greil

Although we are very few Spanish lacemakers participating in Arachne (in
fact only three visible ones!) I want to share some important information
with Arachne. Last year we had some problems with our representatives of
OIDFA Spain, which have been solved very satisfactorily last Autumn. Our
new representative is now Maria Greil, a member of Arachne. We are all very
happy with her, because she is a very organized person, she knows a lot
about bobbin lace, is very much in contact with foreign organizations...
Well,I think she is the ideal representative. Now we are also receiving
regular information via email, and we feel we are part of OIDFA, which we
definitely did not feel before.

So that's all for now from Spain.

[lace] weekly edging

[sylvie nguyen]

Gon,

Because I also receive your weekly notice, of the newest edging, along with
a photo, on Facebook, I tend to compliment it there.  But, I do look
forward to seeing it.

With intensive work on a lace bolero vest, I haven't been working on much
other lace.  As I approach the last portion of the vest, I look forward to
making some of the edgings, as well as starting some other lace making
projects.

Re: [lace] Keeping Arachne a Vital Lace News Resource

[AGlez]

Hello Gon.

I always try to keep attention on Arachne messages, and your messages with
a new edging or insertion have not arrived for a long time. The fact that I
haven't said anything about it does not mean that I don't miss them: I
think many of us have many things to do, attend many emails a day, and when
one email, even an important one, is missing, we are not conscious of it.
Not because of lack of interest, but surely because of an overload of other
matters and work.

So, please, please, please, keep posting: and from time to time.. give us a
warning asking if we are receiving and liking your patterns. Which we
certainly do but sometimes forget to tell you!

You are doing a fantastic work and we really enjoy it! Thank you very much!

Greetings form a cloudy Spain, with dust in the air from Africa!

Antje

To Cindy and all
Yes, I too am more of a lurker, but love all your messages.
We had our first proper Spring day this week, so I am out and about in the
garden and greenhouse: potting, seeding, clearing weeds etc. whilst husband
is decorating from top to bottom. Why cannot he do one room at the time?
4 months old puppy Border Collie Tilly is "helping" both of us.
Not much time for lace, though tonight I will: Th eve is my lace fix, and
two friends come to my house and we chat and make lace.
Still working on Christine Springett's Wisteria pattern, but have just
turned the last corner.
Also have a Torchon pattern for a whirly thingy on another pillow which I
take to local group when we meet once a month.
At a recent lace fair I bought a set of her latest Christmas ornament
patterns, really beautiful ones, so must have a go at some of those.
Have a great day.

What a lovely poem.  Thanks for sharing.

really
good articles about lacemaking:  https://letslace.com/.

Her latest project is to document pictures of lacemakers'  hands making
lace
- see her blog site for more details.   

So I wrote her a poem to go with the display:

Hands above the bobbins
Hands with bobbins held
Move with speed to place a pin
Move slow to tension thread

Old hands, young hands
Hands both dark and fair
Hands young and plump with gift of youth
Hands lined with time and care.

Some with rings or bracelets hung
And nails of polish bright
Others show the scars of time
In the lamp's exposing light

But underneath's the product fine
With twisted thread in place
A joy to work, a joy to see
The delight of making lace.
