RE: [lace] Ipswich Lace (a reference to Pilgrims and lace in paragraph 5)

Dear Jeri Ames, If my signature block had stayed on my message I said I was
Katrina in
a very bleak Ipswich in England, (where incidentaly they have just found the
man charged with 5 girls murder in December 2006 Guilty-there is justice after
all), but we are hoping for warmer weather this weekend.

In answer to your very informative answer I was pleased to hear the background
of 'Ipswich Lace' and will certainly find the books mentioned to obtain
further information.

It was just that for a moment when reading Ipswich Lace I thought of the town
I live in
where there are several lacemakers today.  But it is wonderful to hear the
history and to
dip into the background of something we love so much.
Thank you once again and I will certainly keep reading the letters -best
regards from

RE: [lace] lace Sad News

2007-12-01 Thread Katrina longmuir
Daphne, Carol, It was with deep regret that I read the news that Sally
Woollard has
died, I spent many a happy hour with other lacemakers learning so many
different
types of lace at her lacedays and at the other groups she attended or indeed
arranged, and it was her husband who provided so many of the bobbins I still
use today.
It was she who taught so many youngsters what a wonderful hobby it
is,(including my
own young son Peter) both at Watton lacemakers meetings and of course in
Dereham itself.
She will be so very sadly missed by all who knew her. I have not seen her
since I left
the area in 2001 but she has not been forgotten as she was such an
inspiration.
Please convey our heartfelt sympathy to her family at this time.
Katrina, Peter and Fiona

LACEMAKERS EVEN THOUGH THEY ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF HOURS TRAINING FROM ME AND 
THAT INCLUDED CREATING THE SCENERY ETC.  I AM REALLY PLEASED THAT MY NOTE 
ABOUT THE PLAY HAD STARTED THIS THREAD AS I AM INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF 
THE CRAFT NOT JUST THE CRAFT ITSELF.  tHANK YOU TO THE GIRLS WHO LENT ME 
PROPS - A WONDERFUL WEDDING VEIL WHICH WITH SOME ADDITONAL LACE FITTED THE 
PART AND THE TINY CHRISTENING GOWN THEY WERE MAKING IN THE PLAY.

My mistake. Don't know my geography.

It strikes me that most of these plays do not display lacemaking in a
positive light. In Dona Rosita, lacemaking is a metaphor for a wasted life. 
The
light opera to be performed in Los Alamos deals with a poor mother 
attempting to

save the life of her child through lacemaking. A play we saw performed some
years ago at a Convention (sorry, don't remember which one) has three
lacemakers  in it, one of whom is going blind. At one point one of their 
number is

advised  to kill her baby girl so that she not grow up to share their fate.

The world of drama has yet to be treated to a play about a lacemaker who
finds lace a fulfilling hobby that plays a role in a happy and 
well-adjusted

life and provides the basis for many friendships.  Now that the role of
lacemaking has shifted to pleasure, shouldn't literature reflect that as  
well?


Is it any wonder that our hobby is so maligned and misunderstood? We need a
play or movie that does for lacemaking what Endless Summer did for  
surfing.

To my very first Secret Pal (in Australia)

Thank you very much for my parcel received this morning, I shall enjoy doing 
some cross stitch after a long pause and will find a place for it in our 
soon to be new home.  The manicure set is just right for emergencies so it's 
in my handbag already. I shall never be without money again now I have a 
coin you sent and a pencil from down under is just great,  I have a pile of 
new photos of my grandchildren just waiting to go into the album so you just 
hit it right.   I hope you are feeling better and look forward to eventually 
finding out a lot more about you.  Until the next time lots of love from cat
