Re: [lace] lace pattern
Hi Rose-Marie, The nice thing about Eeva-Liisa's patterns is that they work. You might have to do a bit of puzzling at times but generally speaking all the information you need is right there on the pricking. One exception to that is on the Good Shepherd picture where there is a special diagram to explain how to get 'wooly' sheep. I have worked that one and it turned out well. I agree with the person who said that you need a large pillow, (flat). These are big patterns.

[lace] another new person
Well, I'm not sure where central Kentucky is (remember that long-ago New Yorker cartoon about a map of the U.S. being about 85% New York and then all the rest of the country occupying the remaining 15%?). I'm no longer a New Yorker, but the mindset remains the same. However, we do have a Kentuckian outpost: the Heartland Lace Guild. Try this e-mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] But the real thing for a burgeoning lacemaker is to PLAN NOW to go to Convention next year. It will be in Harrisburg, PA -- not too formidable a trip from Kentucky -- and will no doubt be one of your life's great experiences! -- Aurelia Loveman - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Kortelahti Patterns
Hi Rose Marie Just this week, I started the Lacemaker from E. K's book. I reduced the size of the pricking as I didn't want such a large picture. It is going very well but I agree, there are places where one really must puzzle things out. I'm almost half way down and still have the right number of bobbins in the correct places :) I'm not an addict - hehe! Dora Hocken, one of the lacemakers here in the Soo has made several of the large pictures - gifts for her children and I believe, she is now working on projects for grand children. Laura Peltonen who has visited with Eeva in her home, is our resident expert on these patterns. Good luck - I'm sure you'll enjoy whichever pattern you choose! Jane in Sault Ste.

[lace] tapestry bobbins
I bought some tapestry bobbins from Robin Russ Handweavers many years ago, and they work just fine for tape lace (with those pointy ends, sewings are easy).

I haven't made a large pattern, but I tried to imagine making one. What pillow would I use. Has anyone tried doing one on a large bolster pillow? It seems like that would be a practical method of working with a very large pattern.

Re: [lace-chat] Red shoes
Dear Pam, I have in my closet right now a pair of red cfm pumps with stiletto heels. I haven't heard that saying of Joan Crawford's since the early 70s in London. God, you brought back heaps of memories and laughs in one fowl swoop. My CFM pumps were navy blue and worked a treat every time :) :) Love David in Ballarat I only bought them about 3 years ago, but I'd been waiting 30 years to find the right pair that fit me. When I did, they were mine!

[lace-chat] red shoes, slippers
I can't remember having red shoes, but I do remember persuading my mother that I could not live without a pair of red leather bed-room slippers with a moccasin front, high heels and a surround of fake black fur. I thought they were wonderful and wore them until they wore out.

[lace-chat] Re: red shoes
No, I never had red shoes. I have the family Frisian feet, wide across the toe (4) and narrow at the heel (2). When I find shoes that just plain fit, it's a cause for celebration, doubly so if they're not tan boats. And if they fit at the toe AND the heel, heck, I'd throw a party just for the shoes as guests of honor! When I buy shoes, I walk down the row to my size (approx. US 9), look for 9Wide, xxx out all the tan boats, and pick from what's left. Boo hoo, I can't remember that what's left has ever been red! My red-shoe equivalent was a pair of knee-high zip-up suede boots that I wore and wore and wore until the synthetic rubbery soles got some kind of plastic disease and started to stick to things. My current equivalent is a little pair of suede ankle boots made in Rumania or some lovely European country where feet are not size 3 and 2 inches wide. They fit at the toe AND the heel, and I've worn them to enough parties, I guess they do deserve their own by now.

[lace-chat] first paychecks
I well remember what I bought with one of my first paychecks: I was slaving in a baby clothing factory, and I sent away for a stunning $56 worth of lily bulbs that I had been circling in the catalog for at least 3 years. Tiger Babies, White Henry, Pink Perfection, Harlequin hybrids. I sweated about spending the money for months afterwards, but these days I am not sorry at all: 18 years later, I have Tiger Babies lilies all along the top of my retaining wall, and still a good stand of Pink Perfection and White Henryi.

[lace-chat] Who makes the coffee? :-)))
A husband and wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, You are in charge of the cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee. Wife replies, No you should do it, and besides it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee. Husband replies, I can't believe that, show me. So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and shows him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says ...
