[lace] The Duchess of Cornwall
I do not subscribe to Lace Chat but there are some Brits on Arachne who object to the new Duchess of Cornwall being referred to as a breed of dog. I've not read in any newspapers any criticism of the outfits worn by Camilla and in my personal opinion she looked beautiful. I hope they enjoy a long and happy life together and that people will just give Camilla a chance. Nothing can change the past we can only learn and move on 'what can't be cured must be endured' as the saying goes.

RE: [lace] The Duchess of Cornwall
good morning Lace chatters I feel that at last Prince Charles has married the woman he has always loved. If the powers that dictate what the royals can do and not do had let him marry her in the first place 35 years ago there would not have been any Princess Diana and much heartache would have been spared. The same is true for Princess Margaret - had she been allowed to marry the man she loved perhaps she would have lead a much happier life and still be alive today. Prince Charles will now have a companion who will be at his side and back him - you will see a more relaxed and confident man and this will enhance the work that he is already doing for this Country. Unfortunately with Princess Diana the media made it a beauty competition between Prince Charles and her. Princess Diana did not stop this so she was never a real support as one would expect a spouse to be. The whole episode should never have happened and then many lives that were made to suffer would not. The royal family do a great job and I would not like it for all the money they may have. However, it is time to let Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla get on with the job in hand. It is about time that all the sniping stopped. Hope you all have a good lace making day.

Re: [lace] The Duchess of Cornwall
I totally agree with you. I wish them a happy life and I feel sorry for Camilla to be called a breed of dog. You never know what other people call you when you not hear so I think people should be a bit careful with names. I watched the wedding and her clothes and hats were lovely, I just wished there had been a little lace added somewhere :-) Ann-Marie, Sweden Hälsningar Ann-Marie, Ljusdal [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://community.webshots.com/user/annma1 http://www.thebreastcancersite.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] The Duchess of Cornwall
Diana and All, I have made my protest on Arachne once before (only once?) about us women falling low enough to judge people by their looks - or perceived lack of! I think we have all been astounded by the male sex's ease of dismissing women over 25 with epithets pertaining to animals, or to the dimensions of said person, and I am getting incensed by the way we women can do it so easily to our own. For goodness' sake - criticise whatever you like about anyone's morals, ethics etc - remembering that one should be careful incase the criticism comes back to haunt the criticiser - but desist from bringing looks into it! Personally, I am glad that the Prince and Mrs Parker Bowles have married. I thought she looked absolutely stunning in both the outfits, and I would only presume that the photographs which were seen and prompted one correspondent to liken the headgear to a bowl of spaghetti (or some such) were not very good photographs at all. As someone alse has also said, maybe if they had been allowed to marry 35 years ago, a lot of heartache would have been avoided. I am sure they will be happy from now on, and I certainly wish them all the happiness in the world - I think they deserve it, after all this time.

[lace] Demonstrating
Further to Carole's comment about being asked to pay to demonstrate. I belong to the Isis Lacemakers, and we like to demonstrate lacemaking wherever we are asked. We occasionally get asked to pay for our tables, but when we explain that we do not sell, and in fact will be out of pocket(travelling etc), but do it because we enjoy it (and hope to educate the public, as well as making a few converts), then that is usually OK. Sometimes we are even provided with refreshments, and once we were offered travelling expanses (but turned them down as we were all fairly local). Over the years we have heard many strange and amusing comments while demonstrating, but the most outrageous came at our Lace Fair, held last weekend. The entry fee was only £1.50, for which you got access to 20 top class suppliers, very reasonably priced home made cakes etc, and our usual mammoth tombola (prize every time!). Two lacemakers arrived and asked As we only want to look at the stalls for an hour or so, do we still have to pay? I was almost speechless, and could only reply Yes, just like everyone else. They paid up, but left me wondering, if they have any idea of the work involved in organising such an event, the cost of hiring the hall etc. Not to mention the fact that a large proportion of any profits goes to charity! Luckily, most lacemakers are friendly and grateful, and quick to say so, and make it all worth while.

[lace] Vatican Lace/lace on TV
In a message dated 4/12/2005 8:49:12 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have been so frustrated recently by not being able to see the lace worn by the cardinals in Rome No disrespect to the late Pope, but I share your frustration. How often do we have the opportunity to see such a parade of ecclesiastical lace? I myself have been scrutinizing the newspaper photos with a magnifying glass. When you see ecclesiastical lace, such as the excellent alb bottom on display in Baltimore now, you salivate about what must be hidden in the vaults of the Vatican. I have always suspected that the Vatican must have world class lace since it has such world class everything. Last year, Tess and I visited the Palisades Library near here, where one of the sample books of Marian Powys resides, since Marian herself resided in the community. The librarian had known Ms. Powys personally and was giving me a testimonial about her. She mentioned that Marian Powys had identified lace for the Vatican! Another clue! I am sure that a thorough exploration of the Vatican Lace would be a riveting as the Da Vinci Code. How I wish someone would undertake to write it. Devon PS. If someone wants to pursue Cardinals and Bishops like the paparazzi, we could post an album of ecclesiastical lace in the arachne webshots area. I can see it now.

I had the assignment to go through it to see what was there. Part of it had come originally from a second estate so it has remnants from two lacemakers. One thing I turned up was the draft copies of two Torchon patterns. One seemed ready to test, and was signed and dated. The other one - that is the problem. It is not signed so I'm not sure which of the two lacemakers drafted it. However it has a title. This led me to wonder if it was a pricking draft from a pattern in a book -- before the days of the copy machine. The title is Emperor's Crown. It is Torchon, with the headside made of narrow scalloped fans assembled in clusters to make a larger scallop. There are four spiders per repeat with a large center diamond of either roseground or honeycomb surrounded by a diamond trail of either cloth stitch or half stitch. Does this sound like anything you have in an older book - probably in the 70's or 80's? Being titled like that made me think it could be a copy of an existing pattern. With further study, it seems to have one section that is not drawn in a do-able manner. Some thread pairs go two directions at once. The pattern needs minor tweaking to correct this error, which I think I can do without changing the general composition.

I might as well tell you all You might not know, but I am the Australian distributor of Lace 2000. A few weeks ago, I received an email from England, telling me that Liz Bartlett had closed her business, and would no longer be involved in selling Lace 2000. If you try her website, you will find yourself automatically diverted to a new I.L.Soft site, which is in the process of being built. There are, as yet, no patches or demo version on the I.L.Soft site. I believe that all these changes came up very suddenly, and I'm still not sure of all the reasons and ramifications of the changes.Overseas distributors can still get stock of Lace 2000 by contacting I.L.Soft.

[lace] The Duchess of Cornwall - lace
Thank you for posting the CBS new link. I enjoyed looking at the photos close up. I did record the wedding and watched most of it. I was disappointed not to see all the guests closer up as some of the hats looked very interesting indeed. In the photo at the Guildhall, it looks to me like there is lace on the bottom of Camilla's dress hem. The description in the article says: while the silk chiffon dress, hemmed with vertical rows of appliqued woven disks made in Switzerland, peeped out beneath. What kind of lace is appliqued woven disks I wonder. :-) http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/04/09/earlyshow/living/beauty/main686961.shtml I saw that the flowers used came from the estates of Charles and Camilla but what surprised me was the use of a motor coach for the guests to the Guildhall!!

I love ALL the goodies you sent, the kitty ornaments, the lace bobbins (especially the paper ones!), the kitty light switches (always have places for those!) and the meditation book (I keep misplaceing the ones I get from church so it will nice to have something I can't lose!) but the BEST goodies are the ones YOU made. I love both the little bag with the ladies silhouette in lace and the amulet bag. I have Suzanne Thompson book but I've only made one bag so far, a sunflower bag of my own design in memory of my mother. It got accepted into the West Virginia Art Craft Guild competition a few years ago. I was very pleased about that! I keep finding fabric goodies to make more bags but haven't gotten around to actually making anything yet. Love your use of glittery thread! Haven't worked much with that either. Too many crafts, too much lace to make and too little time! Hope that you are feeling MUCH better and will keep you in my prayers. Thanks so much, you made my week better!

Re: [lace-chat] Camilla's Hats
Hi everyone and Linda who asked regarding the feathered 'hats' What did other viewers think? Yes, what did other viewers think ? I do not have tv, and even if so, would not have watched this wedding - but the photo of the principals was on my home page news, and an enticing link to a feature on the feathers, with one photo - I thought the new Mrs. Charles looked really elegant (I confess I wondered what system of corsets she might have used - *I* would like to look as good). I for one was impressed she'd got good advice about her hair. I thought the swirl of feathers she wore as headgear was stylish and flattering - however, hearing that the ends were weighted with crystals made me think quite possibly they'd bob around as she moved, which I'd find irritating to watch. I then went to another link where some of the extreme feathered attire of the guests was described, but the only photo was of Zara, who chose to wear a dark fedora. I thought *she* looked stylish and elegant, just the same - a youthful protest against the frippery, no doubt - go youth. As I can't think of anything else that might be considered 'nice' about C C, I won't say anything more... :p bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
