Re: [lace] Kant Kwartaal
Hi Bev, I have or, it seems had that magazine. I think that I must have passed it on, as I can only find the pattern now. I have one copy of the magazine though dated february 1992. and I think the strawbeey pattern would be from one just beforee or after that. I think that I subscribed for a year at the OIDFA Utrecht congress. On looking through the magazine I cannot see any credits on any of the patterns. The Editor is Jolanda de Boer-Van Nes and the editorial address is Linja, Postbus 3016, 2301 DA Leiden. The Netherlands. Obviously this is more than 10 years old but could be a starting point for you.

[lace] Re: Knipling-Festival in Tönder 2
Hello Lacefriends, On saterday mornig I started my exhibition tour at Tönder Museum.In the big room upstairs where mostly are the lace-exhibitions with the paintings on the wall and the furniture they show us the Lace-Collection of Helene (1845 - 1932) and Peter (1840 - 1922) Karberg. Helene and Peter maried in1869, their fathers were brothers, they had five children, three daughters and two sons. Peter was a ship owner and merchant. They live some time in London later in Kopenhague and then in Hellerup. It is possible that Helene heired laces from her mother but she baught laces herself. So we could see lots of old Tönder-lace with this poetic names like: pearl, Else, white clover, big bell or bindweed. By the way I was told that not all old Tönder-laces have names. There were not only edges also collers, false blouses, things Helene surely wear herself. There was an old Brussels-lace from1700 but it is unknown from where it came and some other type of laces too. Her daughter Ida learned lacemaking herself and met with the women around Hansigne and the so called Kopenhague-lady-circle. You know it was at the beginning of 20th cent. when women all over Europe tried to revive handmade bobbin lace. In another room was the exhibition With Silver, Wool and Linen - Norwegian Lace from 1750 till today There so many different things were to see that you needed hours to get everything. At beginning the had some Reisle this are crowns for the bride. Another subject are the gold and silver laces. They told us that the siciety there had another structure. there were many freehold farmers which were rich and so they wanted to show this richness. A lot of other bridal outfits were to admire. Also lacemaking equipment and a few pictures of lacemakers . Needle lace pieces and woollen lace were on display. What astonished me most were the designs from the beginning of 20th cent. I have never heard of modern laces from Norway before. They showed us foe example pieces from Fredrikke Weisseert from Oslo and Anna Rollefsen in Larvik. And some todays work like necklaces and lace objects from Margherita Ficko and a lot of other things. I did some picture in my Arachne- webshot album. The quality isn't the best and I didn't know who the fotografers are, I think people from Tönder Museum. That's why i will take them out after a few days. So if you are interested look immediately. The rest comes tomorrow or so. Greetings Ilske - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] kantwartaal
I asked on a Dutch list. Kantkwartaal has been issued by Jolanda de Boer during 13 years until the start of 2000. Most patterns were hers. Hanke had a quick look but couldn't find the strawberrie (aardbei) pattern though she only missed nr 3 of the 3rd year. Jo Falkink Ik heb alle afleveringen van het Kant Kwartaal die ik heb doorgekeken (vluchtig gebladerd). Het kant kwartaal is in 13 jaargangen uitgegeven, met 4 afleveringen per jaar. Begin 2000 is ze (= Jolanda de Boer)er mee gestopt. Ik heb ze niet kunnen vinden (alhoewel ik nog 1 uitgave mis: jaargang 3 nummer 4). Vanaf het 8e jaargang was het makkelijker zoeken, er zit dan een index bij. Maar als ze er zeker van is, dat het van het Kant Kwartaal is, dan is meestal de ontwerpster Jolanda de Boer, (uitgeverij Linja) te Boertange. groetjes, Hanke - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Lace Guild Website Update
Only the 10th of the month (by the time this reaches you) but another quite extensive update to the Lace Guild's website: 1. More stuff relating to the Myth or Mystery Exhibition - The Catalogue and The Commemorative Bobbins are now mounted (you can buy them too) and details of the overflow display of entries at The Hollies. 2. Details of the 2005 Calendar (you can buy this too). 3. Details of the new Membership Bobbins and Christmas 2004 Bobbin (shop early!). I also have an apology to those who couldn't get past the first page of the Census Luggage Labels. I'd coded this in Javascript (easier for me) but if you are accessing the web from work it is possible that some well-meaning idiot has disabled Javascript. (Your home machine will be ok as all browsers default to scripting 'on'.) I may put up a single non-javascript page which will take a week to load but will allow the patient to see the contributions. But not soon. Still got the April (sic) Lace mag to mount, but you can't have everything at once.

[lace-chat] Eyrope in a wheelchair
At one time, at least tne of the parks in London had a cardboard city where the homeless had erected cardboard shelters - woe betide anyone who tried to use a shelter belonging to someone else. I think they've all now been cleared out, and at least some of the parks are locked at night. We see pictures of the homeless sleeping in shop doorways on main roads, presumably because it's safer to be in full view than tucked away in a park. Don't know what the attitude of the police is to them, not having lived in London for nearly 40 years. Where do they proprose to wash? Presumably in public toilets - good luck to them - I wouldn't. They'll need good street maps to show the location of them. In Poole (and I think this is a case in a lot of towns), public toilets have been closed because of the filthy state they get in, drug abuse in them and vandalism. Larger stores have toilets for public use, but I don't think they'd be too happy to have vagrants using them to have a strip wash. Presumably they intend to eat more than just bread - I don't know how long it takes to develop scurvy if you don't get enough vitamin C. I'm sure there a lot of things that they haven't thought of.

In Poole (and I think this is a case in a lot of towns), public toilets have been closed because of the filthy state they get in, drug abuse in them and vandalism. Now I see why in Poland you generally have to pay for public toilets and there are actual people there who take your money, and hopefully prevent you from doing anything unpleasant. Larger stores have toilets for public use, but I don't think they'd be too happy to have vagrants using them to have a strip wash. Well, Claire needs special facilities to do anything of this sort anyway, so there probably won't be very much washing involved in the sleeping in parks period. She's cutting her hair very short. Presumably they intend to eat more than just bread - I don't know how long it takes to develop scurvy if you don't get enough vitamin C. I'm sure they'll get hungry for stuff they're not getting before anything particularly bad happens. Plus, they'll probably have more money than they thought, anyway.

[lace-chat] I kicked my Computer!!!
Dear Friends, Boy do I have a computer story to tell! First of all, you have to remember that my scanner has not been working for over a month now - not since I had some anti-virus software installed. I've tried everything I know - changing ports, reinstalling etc. etc. Well. last night we had a very big thunder storm and my telephone line became very crackly as if there was water in the line. Eventually I thought: I've had enough of this and decided to go and get one of my old phones to see whether it would make any difference. As I got up from my desk, my foot was caught in the phone cord and I wrenched it off the desk onto the floor. At the same time I managed to upend the CD rack, scattering them everywhere and also turning the radiator (heater) on its side Well at least I didn't fall over, even if everything else in the room did. THen as I grabbed for the radiator, I heard a ping and there's a window on the screen saying that my computer had just discovered new hardware - called a scanner!! I quickly stood up the radiator and reinstalled my scanner for about the 5th time. IT WORKS! God only knows how I did it, but I reckon it was the kick I gave the desk.

[lace-chat] Canadian jokes
CANADIAN JOKE # 1 After the North American Beer Festival, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer. The guy from Corona sits down and says, Hey Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona. The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him. The guy from Budweiser says, I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser. The bartender gives him one. The guy from Coors says, I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors. He gets it. The guy from Molson sits down and says, Give me a Coke. The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered. The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, Why aren't you drinking a Molson's? The Molson president replies, Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither would I. CANADIAN JOKE #2 A Canadian is walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm. His friend Doug stops him and asks, Hey Bob! Whacha get the case of beer for? I got it for my wife, eh. answers Bob. Oh! exclaims Doug, Good trade. CANADIAN JOKE #3 An Ontarian wanted to become a Newfie. He went to the neurosurgeon and asked, Is there anything you can do to me that would make me into a Newfie? Sure it's easy. replied the neurosurgeon. All I have to do is cut out 1/3 of your brain, and you'll be a Newfie. He was very pleased, and immediately underwent the operation. However, the neurosurgeon's knife slipped, and instead of cutting 1/3 of the patient's brain, the surgeon accidentally cut out 2/3 of the patient's brain. He was terribly remorseful, and waited impatiently beside the patient's bed as the patient recovered from the anesthetic. As soon as the patient was conscious, the neurosurgeon said to him I'm terribly sorry, but there was a ghastly accident. Instead of cutting out 1/3 of your brain, I accidentally cut out 2/3 of your brain. The patient replied Qu'est-ce que vous avez dit, monsieur? CANADIAN JOKE #4 Did you hear about the war between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia? The Newfies were lobbing hand grenades; the Nova Scotians were pulling the pins and throwing them back. CANADIAN JOKE #5 In Canada, we have two seasons...six months of winter and six months of poor snowmobiling. CANADIAN JOKE #6 One day an Englishman, an American, and a Canadian walked into a pub together. They proceeded to each buy a pint of Labatt Blue. Just as they were about to enjoy their beverages, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away from him in disgust. The American fished the offending fly out of his beer and continued drinking it as if nothing happened. The Canadian picked the fly out of his drink and started shaking it over the pint, yelling, SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT YOU BASTARD!!! CANADIAN JOKE #7 A Quebecer, staying in a hotel in Edmonton phoned room service for some pepper. Black pepper, or white pepper? asked the concierge. Toilette pepper! yelled the Quebecer. CANADIAN JOKE #8 An American, a Scot and a Canadian were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened. Well, said the American, I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the gates of heaven. St.Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to die, and said that for a donation of $50, we could return to earth. So of course I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $50, and the next thing I knew I was back here. That's amazing! said the one of the doctors, But what happened to the other two? Last I saw them, replied the American, the Scot was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay his.

David, the out-of-the-ordinary solutions are often very effective!! Myself, I had a migraine last Thursday/Friday. On Friday evening, as I was walking up the street with my husband on one side, and my daughter on the other, I fell over in the dark - flat onto my face! Was badly winded and shaken, scraped my chin on the concrete, my cheek landed on the (new!) digital camera, which in turn skidded off into the dark somewhere and was only found by my sharp-eyed daughter's persistence. When I could breathe again and gathered myself together to get back on my feet, I discovered I'd had an instant cure for the migraine!!

When I try to use it through the correct route it thinks that it is already being used so won't initialise (something like that), I have to mess about taking the lead out of the back and sticking it back in. It takes about 4 tries before it starts to warm up the lamp. However I just found out that when I scan a background into my Lace 2000 program it works usually on the first attempt. After that I can scan through my scanning program no problem. If I switch everything off for a couple of hours and go back in it seems to remember that it was working and continues through the regular route. I have complained to my pc guru (DS) but I usually have to bribe him with a meal for him to come round and then he just blames me and says its allergic to all that lace stuff I do!!

[lace-chat] SP Thanks
THANK YOU SECRET PAL ! Just want my secret pal in MO that I got the package of goodies. I enjoyed all of it! I'll put the windchimes near my bedroom window so it can catch the breezes. The fixit thread kit and cosmetic cases will sure be handy when I travel to Scotland this fall. I know the chocolate will be yummy and it's not enough to make me gain weight! The sunflower garden stake will be very special as my late mother loved sunflowers and I can't seem to get them to grow in my yard. Thanks for ALL the goodies I'm looking forward to my next box already!

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: The Rabbi and the Pope
I seem to remember seeing this one on chat (or somewhereg) before, but it's still funny... From: J.F. Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert or leave Italy. There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal. He would have a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy, if the Pope won, they would have to leave. The Jewish people met and picked an aged but wise Rabbi, to represent them in the debate. However, as the Rabbi spoke no Italian and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, they all agreed that it would be a silent debate. On the chosen day, the Pope and the Rabbi sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. The Rabbi looked back and raised one finger. Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head. The Rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope then brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine. The Rabbi pulled out an apple. With that, the Pope stood up and declared that he was beaten, that the Rabbi was too clever and that the Jews could stay. Later, the Cardinals met with the Pope, asking what had happened. The Pope said, First, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there is still only one God common to both our beliefs. Then, I waved my finger to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He had me beaten and I could not continue. Meanwhile the Jewish community were gathered around the Rabbi. How did you win the debate? they asked. I haven't a clue. said the Rabbi. First he said to me that we had three days to get out of Italy, so I said to him, Up yours! Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews, and I said to him, we're staying right here. And then what, asked a woman. 'Who knows, said the Rabbi, he took out his lunch so I took out mine. --- Tamara P Duvall http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) Healthy US through The No-CARB Diet: no C-heney, no A-shcroft, no R-umsfeld, no B-ush.

[lace-chat] Mosquito advice
This was just sent to me (I haven't tried it) but it just may work. Lorri Pass this on to anyone who likes sitting out in the evening or when they're having a cook out. So you don't like those pesky mosquitoes, especially now that they have the potential to carry the West Nile Virus? Here's a tip that was given at a recent gardening forum. Put some water in a white dinner plate and add a couple drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dish detergent. Set the dish on your porch, patio, or other outdoor area. Not sure what attracts them, the lemon smell, the white plate color, or what, but mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead shortly after drinking the Lemon Fresh Joy/water mixture, and usually within about 10 feet of the plate. Check this out--it works just super! May seem trivial, but it may help control mosquitoes around your home, especially in the South and elsewhere where the West Nile virus is reaching epidemic proportions in mosquitoes, birds, and humans.
