[lace] Alternative route to Rhiannon's photos.
If any of you are still having problems seeing Rhiannon's photos, I didn't even think of doing a copy-and-paste job. I have the arachne webshots bookmarked (surely you all have too ) so I went that route and clicked on newest (as her photos are only recently there). Straight in and hers were the first lot of photos.

Yes, lots of interesting lace. I liked particularly liked the horse too, and thought I'd seen it as being one I intend to do (if I live long enough to do everything intended) and suspected it is by my favourite designer, Michel Jourde, IHO he's a talented designer who's designs have real style and are totally different to all but a couple of other designers. So out with the Lace Express magazines (the hanging pair of bobbins and thread information top left on the pricking is the giveaway that that's where it came from) that I'd packed away - couldn't resist. It's pattern number 10 in the 2/2004 issue of Lace Express, and *is* by Michel Jourde. Thanks to Aleksei Karpenko for telling me that the pattern I couldn't place in the 4/2004 issue is pictured in the 3/2004 issue. When I looked at that one, it clearly states that the pattern will be in the next issue. It's an expensive magazine, available only on subsctription or through individual back issues, and, when I mentioned it a few days ago, several people have said that it's outside their budget. I'm having to take a year off from my subscription. But it's on high quality glossy paper with 30 plus patterns in each issue by good designers from around the world. If it was pubished as a book rather than a magazine, it would be considered inexpensive.

Re: [lace] Re: Webshots
Hi Tamara and All, Ann-Marie Clegg did publish some of her patterns in collections. I have 3 booklets, Torchon Lace 1 ,2 and 3. They all date from the early '80's. Madeira threads then published a few individual patterns. I think that 'Sugar Candy' which was used on t the photo frame was one of these and I know another was of ladybirds. (ladybugs to you statesiders.) They are very pretty patterns and very useful in that most can be adapted to suit your own individual project.

Re: [lace] Margaret Simeon's lace collection
Margaret Simeon was a designer of textiles and a teacher of textile design and history when she first became interested in lace in the 1940's. She began collecting lace, and studying it, and in 1979 wrote "The History of Lace", which is illustrated to a very large extent with pieces from her collection. Her book is still considered one of the most scholarly approaches to the history of lace ever written, and is, of course, out of print. Occasionally one will pop up on eBay.

I mean that you prepare torchon ground all around the top of the quadrant, then take 2 central pairs and cross them, these 2 pairs have become now weavers. Each one works to right and left respectively; take in one pair from the ground, pin and come back to the middle, then I THINK THERE IS NO PIN, is just a turning stitch; repeat until arriving to the wider part of the quadrant, then leave each row a pair until the end. It is very resumed, but I hope you can understand me the main idea. Anyway, tell us the results please! Carolina. Barcelona.

But, since I buy my books mostly to look at and to steal ideas from, not to make the lace from, I prefer to have some prior idea of what I'm likely to get for my money. I never buy "mixed bags" (pattern books issued by lace groups) sight-unseen, because they're too undependable. I subscribe to various lace magazies (which are, also, "pot-luck" in their partterns) not for their pattern content, but for their human interest/history/techniques content (not necessarily in that order ). Don't know about the Lace Express as it is currently but, the first year, *all* it had was patterns - no text at all. So I cut it out after the first year; compared to other *magazines* it was out-of-sight expensive, even then. And now I've cut out La Encajera; they've doubled their price, our dollar has plunged...

[lace] Re: Needle lace pillow
Hi All, I'm looking forward to reading other people's responses. It certainly doesn't look very handy for NL with that handle. And if you put the handle between your legs you'd have to lean over so far. Maybe it was a "new, modern" design that didn't work and that's why we don't see NL pillows like that . I didn't respond to the question about NL pillows a month or so ago but I have used part of a pool noodle to do NL. It's 2-1/2" (64 mm I think) across so not much bigger than the one on eBay but it's long enough that I wedge it in my lap to have both hands free. I find it very helpful.

[lace] Swiss stamp raffle +
Gentle Spiders, So far, so good... There are 18 entries in the raffle - keep them coming. One of the entrants has sent me an URL where the stamp can be seen, so my cack-handedness with the "things 'puter" doesn't nmatter after all :) See it at: http://www.values.ch/Art-Gallery/Embroidery/embroidery.htm It's the light blue on white background one (now I want the other one, too ) So far, so good... Many of you have sent prayers and good thoughts for my (almost) grandson and, for all I know, the concentrated goodwill might be working; according to today's report, he's about 5% better than he was yesterday - he's still on respirator and totally sedated (4th day), but his hemoglobin count has stopped dropping and has even perked up a bit. It still worries me that nobody knows what's causing the symptoms; in a situation like that, any treatment, necessarily, has to be of the hit-or-miss variety, and what if they *miss*??? It doesn't help that, having risked a surgical procedure to collect samples, the hospital has sent them off to the "best in the country" diagnostic lab. Which happens to be a military one (ie government-sponsored) and on an extended holiday since Friday; won't re-open till Tuesday, because of the Presidents' Day (at least, the PO and the banks worked both Friday and Saturday, even if they also will be closed on Monday)... Thanks, everyone, for the kind thoughts, and forgive me if I don't answer every message personally. True, I needed a distraction, but I got one :) DH woke me up at 3:30 AM today, with an ailing eye (pruned trees most of Saturday, siuspected a piece of dust). Refused to go to emergency - "people get things in their eyes all the time, and, anyway, it's middle of the night; don't want to trouble them for a non-emergency" - so both of us spent a wakeful night till 8:30, by which time he thought it might be OK to "trouble them"... We were "told off" for not showing up quicker - there's now some damage to the retina - and I've spent most of the day hunting up the prescribed drops (most pharmacies being closed for Sunday and one of the two which was open open out of the product) and then administering them every hour...

I thought people might like to know that I've added three views of my latest wire lace project to my album--try: http://community.webshots.com/album/148973990ROaPqj or go to: http://community.webshots.com/user/arachne2003-date and select "Sue Lambiris' Wire Lace" The multiple photos show the piece before and after I outlined the pattern with a pair of twined gimps in colored wire. I had to do this after working the lace because the outline is so complex that working it as part of the piece would have left me with lots of loose ends.
