Dear Arachne friends, times are very busy for me, the job's very demanding, children need their share of attention every day, so, to my grief, I'm not a frequent visitor here. The time still available for lace I spent with lacemaking rather than with reading about lace.. But I miss you! So I'll try to be back as a regular visitor, at least lurking, an hope to become a resident of arachne town again.
This weekend, during a weekend class, I've been asked to forward to you all: The German Lace Guild's website has been updated, since news and pictures from the April 2004 Guild's Congress are ready! Enjoy browsing www.deutscher-kloeppelverband.de ! The weekend class I enjoyed was with Ulrike Loehr, we tried brandnew patterns: Art Noveau style flowers in PG lace! Wow! The motives in silk of different colours on an in ecru background are natural flowers, although their "spirit" is art noveau, they are clearly recognizable. All patterns, six or seven different, were worked for the very first time, we don't know how they will look as real lace up to now. (And we are the guinea pigs for bug finding and fixing ;-) ) As all of us reached the first crucial points, on sunday evening, on every pillow a glimpse of a blossom could be seen through a forest of pins... Since then, I spent every night at may pillow, never stopping before midnight.. Lacemaking is great! And it's good to be here!
