[lace] quiet
Heooo? Is anybody out there? I'm working on a Flanders piece I started about 5 years ago. It is one that Vera Cockuyt calls "the high bridge". In her book she has a round version, but no diagram. I thought I should probably work it, thinking it might be a good learning pattern. I acquired a diagram and the square pricking (which I like better). You can't imagine how much trouble this has been giving me. The first repeat I must have worked 2 -3 times: stitching, unstitching. I'm now about half way through. I still can't do it without the diagram, and I still get lost sometimes. Even tonight I unworked about 3 rows. As it turns out the design has very graceful curves and thread movements, which I have found to be a pleasant surprise. I can't say I really like the way Flanders looks. The learning patterns especially are just plain ugly, but necessary. More advanced designs and many modern ones are very beautiful. I find it to be an absolutely necessary preparationg for Binche, which is why I started it. I really enjoy working the ground. And the easy parts that I've really mastered are fun. I used to think I was really smart. Not so much, I think now. Some day, if I live long enough, I'll be an expert. Without challenges life would be boring.

[lace] quiet list
The list seems very quiet - I've not seen a message since Friday- so this is a test to see if things are working. Lace content: in between clearing my garden shed (to be demolished today) I've been working on my latest lace project: I've adapted the wide insertion from the latest set of Retournac patterns to make a square motif. This has created some very sharp v-shaped direction changes in the trails, to add to the technical difficulties already there. I'm working with three/four cluny/beds books beside me, plus the encyclopedia of lace techniques (whose title/author I have temporarily forgotten), but I'm mostly fudging it - trying things to see what works. I'm using a salmon pink Goldschild linen, which is unusual for me, I usually work in white or ecru but I want this for a cushion cover to harmonise with the other cushions on my sofa. It's a very nice thread to work with although a bit "wiry" and springy compared with cotton, it needs firm tensioning after every stitch. Hope the "radio Silence" is because everyone's too busy making lace to write emails.

Here as well, but everything taking much longer somehow. Finishing off Lace Christmas pieces (then finding I need, 'just one more:-)'. Enjoying opening the advent calenders each morning so thank you everyone for those. We have been watching the rugby tornaments (and I get to make lace while they are on, unless I cant take my eyes off the screen:-)) I am being quite good in finishing off some projects that I didn't think looked nice enough, and finding they are not as bad as I thought. Butterfly for a friend and bauble designs for family and friends. I received a fabulous lace exchange, again, this year which is a piece of lace to sew around a glass bauble, so I put that together and it is hanging proudly waiting for the rest of our decorations to join it. I will add the picture to the folder later. Need to go and help cut meat, prepare the next batch of yogurt and other things. Sue T From: "Lorelei To: Heooo? Is anybody out there?

Re: [lace] quiet
Hi Beth... The main reason that teachers start you with Flanders is that the ground work is very different. I think that if you work a piece with the typical Flanders ground, and you can get to the point that the ground is something you can do without giving it much thought, it is perfectly alright to skip on to Binche... There are some wonderful Binche pieces out there waiting for you!!

[lace] Quiet list.
Hello everyone, I have been busy too! I have just been to Bruges for a week, making lace. There were twenty of us, staying in the Beguinhof, with Anne-Marie Verbeke-Billiet as our tutor. There were six types of lace being worked, and plenty of fun and friendship in between times. This weekend I am going to our Guild retreat. Guild members stay in a local hotel from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. We have four tutors, teaching various textile techniques - but no lace of course. And next weekend is the Braid Society AGM, hosted by the braiding group I belong to. So,, yes, a busy time, but lots of chances to catch up with friends, as well as practice crafts.

Have we just all run out of steam or is the list unusually quiet at the moment? We have had a week of our anti-virus fighting off several hundred spam emails (from the same domain) a day and I wondered if anyone else was getting this - the messages apparently contained a worm - and of course, the ones we wanted to receive were usually last in the queue to download! DH has reported the abuse, and it seems to have got less today. Other than that, and a twisted ankle last weekend (much better now, but I've decided housework is dangerous!) not much seems to be happening. One thing I was alerted to in the week was that apparently Margaret Wall's husband is selling some of her bobbins on Ebay - one of my students has bought a couple. For those who don't know, Margaret Wall paints some wonderful bobbins, but they were nearly always out of my price range so I think I've only bought one or two from her in the last fifteen years. I got the impression from what my student said that this was an ongoing thing rather than a one off. -- Jane Partridge -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hi Beth - You're right, the list has been quiet! Last week, it was *so* quiet that I went to the archives to check and see if there had been any posts I had missed. Well... in fact, there had been...

So I wrote to Avital, and she checked and found that I had been dropped off the list - something that happens if your messages are bounced a couple of times.

[lace] Quiet?/what lace
I have sent both of my christmas cards off and hopefully Ayla in NZ will not have to wait too long. So, that lace done and my class that I taught based on the lace completed, what should I do? I finished a fourth sample of the piece that was on my pillow after the class. I finished knitting the mittens with fold over tips and holes for the thumbs to poke through for my teenage granddaughter. Now she can text without getting too cold. I do have my Beds Lester piece, but I need good light for that and the days seem so dreary at the moment. I have two pillows with yardage that I use for demos, but I want something to tackle while I watch tv. I would like to do some needlelace around a christmas ball. The ball is one with a covering of fine silky thread but unfortunately it is not soft so I can't stick pins in it. I tried working a couronne around my finger, and then wanted to work some loopy brussels ground using DMC 12, but it is hard to tension with nothing to pull against. Has anyone done anything on a ball in thread? How do you get started? I have worked around plumbing parts and beads before but this is driving me nuts as it just slips about.

Re: [lace] Quiet list
No, this is not the "Christina" with the revolving skirt. This pillow looks nearly identical to a Swedish pillow I own, which is a wonderful pillow. The one on ebay is larger than mine, and the extra roller is a very nice thing to have! The shipping is quite expensive, as would be expected. I've heard various reports about the true "Christina" with the revolving skirt. Holly VanSciver tells me that the cost to*her* now is $800, and I think that shipping has to be added to that! She is reluctant to stock any at this price.OTOH, friends in Europe have been unable to get an answer from anyone who can tell them whether the pillows are still being made. Evidently, they were all made by one man, and he finally retired from the business. The story goes that long searching, a younger man was found who was willing to make the pillows again. But as is often the case, they're just not the same as the "originals". But so far, I haven't been able to track down the "source" of these newer Christinas - if they do exist!! And on another note, some owners of original "Christina"s have reached the stage where they are not able to make lace any more, for one reason or another, and they are finding that there is a market for old Christinas in good condition... and at prices that may equal or exceed what was originally spent for the pillow!! So if you have one of these pillows and would like to cash in on your investment, now may be a good time to do it!! But not you, Barb!!

[lace] quiet list - NY visit
Well, dear Spiders, Here I am on my last night NY city, won't mention the margheritas consumed this evening !! At least 7 hours a day (for the past 3 days) wandering around NY. Managed to fit in a visit to the Museum of Art and Design, and saw the wonderful exhibit "Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting" - it was fantastic - loved it. My top 3 were (in no particular order) the knitted figure "craft kills", with knitting needles stabbing through the body; the tatted circular table cloth with gorgeous 3D skulls attached all around; and the tiny knitted garments - 2 jumpers (pull-overs/sweaters?) and a pair of gloves, knitted using medical wire, absolutely amazing. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Yes, a broad definition of "lace " and "lace-making", but PLEASE let's keep lace-making alive Jen in Melbourne (temporarily in NY - about to travel home, starting midday tomorrow - 20 hours!!!) :) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [lace] Is Lace quiet?
Janice, Yes there is life out here. Unfortunately I've just been *thinking* about lace, and doing the article (Tamara :-) ) on the recreation of the 16th century fashion doll with her lace trimmed silk gown. Meanwhile back at the ranch, work is taking up extra space in my life. Grumble.

Re: [lace] Is Lace quiet?
Janice (and others), I can guess why the archives don't show your messages. You are addressing them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the same goes for all you people who send messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and mess up my filters! ;-) ). Majordomo interprets the address as an alias for Arachne and shows it on the list but www.mail-archive.com thinks it's a different list. So correct your address books, everyone (or stop hitting 'reply' if you're getting digest--most email programs these days will let you type in the first 3 letters of an address and automatically fill in the rest), and then the archives will be less confused. Computers are only human, after all. As for why there are no digests, it has been quiet lately.

Re: [lace] Is Lace quiet?
That is my immediate plan:-) Hopefully it will be good enough. this one is one of a set of 4 for my sister. If this first one is too bad I will just make a complete new set of 4. Obviously now I am past half way it is going well, just this is a rarely used ground. What I do find is if they are put away for a week or two then you can see how bad, or not they really are. I have been prepared to discard several pieces over the summer but when left there is only one I haven't wanted to use for its original purpose. I know a small mistake makes it slightly unique and genuinly hand made, I just dont like to give it away if it is always in my face. Thanks for you input Karen.

Re: [lace] Is Lace quiet?
Hello all, As the list is quiet I take the occasion to tell you that next 9th. Dec., will take place the annual Lace Day Event in l'Arboç (Barcelona-Spain). It is one of the 3 most important lace events in Catalunya. This week I assisted to the commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the Catalonian Lace Guild. It was an emotive action where the foundational members were invited and honored with a commemorative pin. We all had too, the opportunity to know that in the Lace Museum of l'Arboç, the days 7th, to 9th. Dec. there will be an interesting exhibition of jewels made with lace. I was told that firstly, it is made a Roseground or Point de Paris stitch lace sheet by the lacemaker and then the jeweler cuts little bands or strips and frame them with a gold profile. I have seen nice pendants, bracelets and rings in gold and white gold very very nice. Of course I'll go, and if it is allowed I shall take some pictures to share with you. Regards. Carolina.

Re: [lace] Quiet - reading material
Dear Karen and others starved for lace mail, Because my in-box was empty on Saturday, I sent out a memo about using PieceWork magazine's website while on vacation - for free patterns and articles. You should have received the memo -- it is listed in our archive. _http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html) Another place to read when away from home and your lace pillow on a rainy vacation day is _http://lace.lacefairy.com/_ (http://lace.lacefairy.com/) If you cannot remember address, you will remember "Lacefairy" and can do a search. There is lots to look at and learn at this site of 1,000 pages. Lori is happy to receive corrections, so don't be shy about sending them. It is OK if Arachne is quiet. It may mean everyone is busy doing other lace things. On Spring/Summer weekends on this side of the ocean, lacemakers may be out demonstrating their lacemaking skills. A good thing!

Having spent half the last week knocking up tiny crocheted owls (20 so far) my current lace project is my piece for contrasts. Milanese lace in black and white. Not the best time of year to be working lace in black thread. Ugh. However, walking back to my car after teaching my class in Maidstone I was struck by how lace like the very modern Christmas tree in the shopping centre is.

Hi Arachnids, This is a busy time of the year for everyone, what with Thanksgiving, St Nikolaas (5th/6th December in the Netherlands), probably others as well for other nations and Christmas so near most of us have our hands full. Am working on my second exchange piece. First one in needle lace is of to Canada today, hope to finish the second one in mainly Milanese over the next week. Not quite the urgency as it stays in the UK. Also on the pillows are a soft green runner adapted from a pattern on the Lace Guild calendar of a couple of years ago and the dragon mask which has not got much further this year as other commitments have got in the way.

Hi All, Memory quilts are made using photos from a given person's life transferred to fabric for the quilt. We have gathered photos from around the family, and when Lorraine has the quilt others can use it as a starting point for conversation, some things she will remember and others she will not. It will also serve as a mini family history for her children and grandchildren who will not now be able to ask her. 60 is young for an Alzheimers Diagnosis, but her family seem to have a lot of local support and her middle son, aged 36, is acting as her carer. Some people do Memory quilts for significant Anniversarys, 60th for example, or significant birthdays. Lorraine is younger than I am.

Re: [lace] Quiet?/what lace
Dear Friends, Having finished a piece of Chantilly lace last week, I am now having a few weeks off to knit myself a lovely Aran jumper in 5 ply grey. It's much easier to take knitting with me to Fiji next week than bobbin lace.

Re: [lace] Quiet?/what lace
I have things on 4 pillows. I have a Bucks edging on my travel pillow. I've finished 14 inches of 53. This pillow will come with me to Sweden on the 16th to celebrate Christmas with Middle Child. Haven't done that for 5 years. Will be bringing what I can for an American Christmas dinner. I have the altar cloth on another pillow. I have a beginners' Valenciennes pieces from a class that I WILL finish, so I can get back to the handkerchief, number XI from Kumiko Nakazaki's first folio of Flanders patterns. Just getting to the first corner on that one. Actually, there are things on other pillows, but I haven't worked on them in a while, and the idea is what you're working on now. But I have decided I need a new sweater for Sweden. The Lett Lopi yarn from Iceland and the book from Canada combined here yesterday. I have about 3 weeks to finish it, so I'm doing that. On Thursday I take the train, 3 hours each way, to New York, to see the lace exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, so I'm bringing the sleeves to work on the train. Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where they predicted snow this morning, first of the season, but so far it's rain, and sometimes a bit of wet snow mixed in. Disappointing. The first snowfall of the season is always uplifting. Today looks grey, not bright and white.

Re: [lace] Quiet?/what lace
Quite a few years ago, a very dear friend of mine died. She left a seven-year-old son. I wanted to do something to help, but lived several hundred miles away. I decided to make him a memory quilt. I used a simple star pattern quilt which had squares in the center of each star, where I placed the pictures. Her husband sent me many pictures to choose from, as well as a box of her colorful nursing scrubs. Because she had chosen her scrubs herself, and wore them daily, they were all familiar to her son, and not surprisingly, they all complimented each other. I knew that the grieving process is difficult for a child, so each of the pictures was covered by four triangles that could be opened to reveal the picture. His father hung the quilt in the child's bedroom, but he (the child) did not want it there. So it was moved to the father's room. Before long, the child began to visit it, and gradually began to look at the pictures, and finally asked to have it in his room. The other thing that struck me was that working on this quilt was the best thing I could have done to get me through my own grieving process. There were lots of tears, and lots of good memories sewn into it! Clay > >> Memory quilts are made using photos from a given person's life transferred to >> fabric for the quilt.

Re: [lace] Quiet?/what lace
Clay what a wonderful tribute to your friend and a treasure for her son and husband! To incorporate her scrubs was a brilliant idea. Fabrics, like music and smells can pull up such strong memories. Thanks for sharing that. Dona On Nov 27, 2012, at 8:50 AM, Clay Blackwell wrote: > Quite a few years ago, a very dear friend of mine died. She left a seven-year-old son.

[lace] quiet list, and silk thread
Very quiet today. I was about to send a test message when the others came through. I thought maybe Majordomo was having a problem. I guess everyone is just busy elsewhere. I am mending a Maltese silk collar. I need some silk for replacement of a missing section. The silk used was fairly thick, 3-4 times thicker than Guitermann 100/3, and with a loose twist. I have very few silk threads, other than the 100/3. Can anyone suggest a brand for me to check out? This thread was either boiled, or the collar has been washed. The silk is shiny. I can double or triple the thread when I use it, so size is less important than the look and feel, but a thicker thread would be preferred. Any ideas?

[lace] Quiet list has woken up
Thank you to everyone who put my mind at rest re the quiet time on the list. I am so jealous of all the conventions and other lace-ins in USA, Australia and UK. It must be wonderful to have all these top-notch teachers to choose from and to keep up-to-date with everthing in the lace world. That is why I need my daily arachne lace fix, and get worried if it is not there for a few days. I have also been very busy for this past week or two. It was our bi-annual exhibition in Johannesburg, combined with the Embroiderers Guild. Apart from being chair of the Witwatersrand Lace Guild and editor of the quarterly newsletter and webmaster and Facebook admin, I also run The Lace Place for all their supplies, so I was involved everywhere. Now that it is over I am looking forward to the holiday season when I hope to get some peaceful lacemaking time in. The exhibition was a great success over 2 days and the reporter from the local newspaper came to take pics and interview the organisers, so we hope to be in next week's edition. When I get some pictures back from our photographer I will put them on our website and tell you where to find them. Lace greetings from Janis in South Africa where we have just had a couple of showers of rain. The first in about 3 months and hope it will break the drought. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Quiet? - St. Catherine's Day
Dear Sue and all other Arachne members, The following mail (below) was sent to Arachne on November 20th. I explained America's Thanksgiving holiday, because it is not mentioned on calendars in other nations. Other nations celebrate, but on different dates. I hoped my memo might encourage Arachne members in other countries to pick up the slack with, perhaps, some words about St. Catherine's Day. One response came - from Phil in Australia. I found it very inspiring to read about the Catterns Day celebration in New South Wales. So much so that I sent it on to the President of one of the lace groups to which I belong, for additional sharing. **Everyone - it is important to stop lurking and expecting others to do the writing. Any list like Arachne is only vital if everyone participates. It seems that there are fewer members trying to keep lace alive around the world. We must correct this. Please step up to the challenge and actively participate.** Giving thanks that we have Avital to moderate Arachne. Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center --- Sue, This was sent November 20, 2012: Americans will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 22nd. Most American women are busy shopping for, cooking for, or traveling to visit relatives, in connection with this family-oriented holiday. This helps to explain why lace correspondence has dropped off. St. Catherine's Day is Sunday, November 25th. It is a day to celebrate the patron saint of Lacemakers. You can read more about this in our archives: _http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html) Put "St. Catherine's Day" in the Subject line. If any local lace groups are celebrating this holiday, please share details. For example, were Cattern Cakes served? Did you wear lace? Did you make lace? Etc. --- In a message dated 11/26/2012: Has it been really quiet on Arachne or am I missing some mail I wonder.

Re: [lace] quiet list, and silk thread
Hi Alice, I purchased some silk from Pipers a few years ago and their '90 Silk Floss' seems to me to be very similar to the silk used for Maltese lace. I found the pale cream was almost a perfect match for some of my Maltese lace, however I do realize that not all Maltese lace is the same shade. The silk floss also comes 'folded', i.e. you can order how many plies you need to match your thickness of thread. I have some Maltese lace that needs repair as well so if you have any tips or techniques for me please pass them on.

RE: [lace] quiet list, and silk thread
Alice - do you think you can send me a good photo of the collar. I do have the type of silk thread we use in Malta and can definitely send you some. A picture will help me to determine what kind of thread it is. If it is thicker than the one I use I can always ask one of my friends for some of the thicker type - which is thicker and untwisted. The only problem is the colour. The silk (which I very much doubt is pure silk) tends to yellow with age.

[lace] quiet list, but productive on lace
Gentle Spiders, I took a wee bit of advantage having to take time off from work to meet a contractor for some needed bathroom repairs (not Katrina related, but 45 year old house related), and worked on my gold thread lace project. Actually got some inches made, so at least something was accomplished for the afternoon. To repair the water damage from the leak around the tub they'll have to completely gut my bathroom... and it's a one bathroom house. Tamara's pocket snake would have seized and died on hearing the approximate cost to do the repairs. Next monday is contractor #2. I still haven't written the museum in Stockholm to see if I can get more information on the little 16th century doll I'm trying to recreate. I've been busy on the lace and other stuff.
