Have a look at: http://www.guetermann.com Thanks Brenda, for the website; it's very interesting, even to someone as un-clued about browsing as I am. Being a single-note singer however, I was struck by the following page of it: http://www.guetermann.com/frameset.php4?lang=en&action=frames It's in the "Extreme and Exotic" section, and there's quilting and "thread-painting" (aka machine-embroidery), and there are some other examples of using their threads, but there's NO LACE... :( How come? Aren't we "exotic" enough? Aren't some of the more modern designs (a lot of them from Germany, as a matter of fact) "extreme" enough? Most of Louise Colgan's coloured Milanese designs are made in Gutermann's silk 100/3. The same silk was one of Ulrike Loehr's choices for her "Snowflake Quilt" workshop, in which the same "building block" (an equilateral triangle) was the basis of differently arranged prickings which, when the lace was made and sewn together into its final, 3-D shape, were both exotic *and* extreme (IMO )... Is there anything can we do about getting equal time and more exposure for *lace* via The Gutermann's website? - Tamara P Duvall Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Re: Translation
<<"Der Kloppelbrief wurde um eine DIN-Stufe verkleinert!">> DIN is a German standards body. So I think what this is saying is that the pattern has been reduced by one DIN size - I assume that means by one size on the photocopier. That probably means the A and B paper sizes that we use in Europe. Sorry to be rather vague, but that's my best guess.

DIN is the paper format. We have DinA4 which is the usual note-paper, DinA5 is small note-paper, just the half on DinA4. Hope this makes it a bit clearer.

[lace] Heart pattern on Lace Guild Advent Calendar
Dear Merlene You were asking if the heart pattern on the Lace Guild Advent Calendar was a published pattern. Whilst not the complete pattern - it is part of one, which I discovered whilst browsing through my lace books. I am willing to let you know the name of the book, once the competition is over. Please feel free to remind me, as the holiday season is liable to be hectic - and I may forget!

Hello Barbara, Could plesae you answer on my private account and tell me about the address of the lady who sells this book in France please?

[lace] New French book on Irish crochet in Brittany
I have recently received a delightful book "De la crise de la sardine a l'age d'or de la dentelle" from the Association "Dentelles d'Irlande bretonnes" published by Editions Ouest-France. It is a history of Irish crochet which was brought into Brittany after the decline in the sardine industry in the early 1900s. It is extensively illustrated, mostly in black and white (some color) with some beautiful lace which the French developed so expertly. It is wonderful to see this history so nicely documented. I would expect that many lovers of Irish crochet would be interested in this book which I have been unable to find in the main online bookshops such as www.abebooks.com and www.alibris.com. It is listed at perso.wanadoo.fr where it sells for 14.25 Euros. My contact, Maryvonne Wetsch may be able to supply it but would be unable to accept credit card payments. If you are interested in purchasing a copy perhaps you could let me know so I can advise Maryvonne of the interest. I can recommend it and find it relatively easy to read with my level of French (Learnt in High school many many years ago).
