Fw: [lace] Montreal revisited - Newbies - Look at these pix!!

[Sue]

I had a look and it kept me out of mischief for ages, lovely pictures and 
some beautiful lace.

Sue T, Dorset UK



For any and all who couldn't get to Montreal, let me suggest that you
go to  for a
complete report on everything that happened there.  You can get some of
that site in English, but not the report on the convention.  However,
the pictures tell all, and be sure to check "detail" to see what
everyone was working on.

This is a wonderful site.  You can go to their Archives page and see
reports (with lots of pictures) on conventions and congresses as far
back as 2000 or so.

Re: [lace] lace tool

[Ilske Thomsen]

Hello Everybody,
I too have such a tool. It's not with wood it is with painting on red 
ground, I think it's email. But I must add that I seldom use it because 
one end is disturbing if working with the other one.
Greetings from  Hamburg in Germany where one of the last summer day 
makes us happy

[lace] Lacemakers in Catalonia and Springett's contact

[Jenny De Angelis]

HI Jacquie

I live in the Gerona Province, do you know the name of the place that your 
friend will be staying at?  Does she have e.mail if so give her my e.mail 
address and get her to contact me  otherwise I will give you my phone number 
off list so that she can ring me once she is here perhaps.


As I am English and learnt to make lace in England I will no doubt work the 
same way round as your friend does,  Your friend will find  the Spanish 
lacemakers work very differently from us English. They work on upright 
pillows as a general rule and have the foot edge on the left of their work. 
They hold their bobbins in their hands to make the stitches where we English 
tend to roll the bobbins across the pillow only lifting them to cross one 
over the other.   Those bobbins not immediately in use on a Spanish just 
hang to the sides of the cylindrical pillow and can get in a muddle which 
takes time to unravel when you need to bring some of those bobbins into the 
work,  until you get the hang of things.   I have found that when a Spanish 
lady has tried to copy the way I work she has found it very different, as I 
found it when using an upright pillow and spanish bobbins held in the hands 
the first time.  It took a bit of getting used to.


I have Christine Springett's current contact details and her latest 
pattern/book/video/DVD leaflet, I received a couple of patterns from her 
just last week.

RE: [lace] Lacemakers in Catalonia and Springett's contact

[Karen]

We work like that in Malta too. But to prevent the bobbins from getting
muddled up, I tie mine in batches with rubberbands and undo them as I need
them.

Re: l[lace]Plays about lace

[James and Trenna Ruffner]

(Sorry to be so tardy to offer this on the topic that was discussed last 
July but it took me awhile to find the book!)
   I was reminded during the discussion of lacemaking on the stage that 
is also is mentioned in the movies.  Lacemakers who are also old movie 
fans have a giggle when they watch Betty Davis declare that she was 
"busy with her lace ", while crocheting right up under her nose in "The 
Letter"  It is the story of a nasty lady who kills her lover in a 
jealous rage and is only saved when her husband bankrupts himself to buy 
back an incriminating letter.  One time when I was watching it I managed 
to pay attention to the credits and saw that is was adapted from  story 
by W. Somerset Maugham.
   I went looking for the original story, only to find out to my 
surprise that it had originally been written as a stage play presented 
originally in 1927 starring Katherine Cornell as Leslie,.  And these
are the scene setting directions "The room is lit by one lamp and this 
stands by a little table on which is Leslie's pillow lace. Wow - I guess 
Miss Davis just couldn't get the hang of it so they had to substitute 
crochet.  One sample line: "I had dinner rather late, and then I started 
working on my lace.  (she points to the pillow on which a piece of lace 
half made is pinned with little pins)   Crosbie(her husband) "My wife is 
rathe a dab at lace-making"
   Whatever, her explanations don't hold up and her husband loses his 
rubber plantation to save her .- Miss Davis chews the scenery quite a 
bit.  I wonder how Miss Cornell managed the lacemaking.

[lace] 's Gravenmoer

[Noelene Lafferty]

I am looking to purchase copy of the LOKK hardcover book "Kant uit
Vlaanderen en 's Gravenmoer", now totally out of print.   I have tried
several suppliers, without success, and wondered if someone had a copy for
sale privately.

I have the addendum to it, with the same name (a spiral bound book, with
instructions for the hul and keuvel caps) - but I'm looking for the
original, with a great deal of information and patterns including the
"Pythagoras Tree" and the Peacock fan in it in a section called "Modern
Design". 

If anyone has a copy for sale, could they please email me privately at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Enamel! It will be pretty.

I have such a 'tool' made of fabric - approx. 1 x 3 inches, two pieces
sewn together and turned. It was intended as a tab on a purse, but
never used. Then one day I needed to anchor my bobbin threads - the
fabric tab worked perfectly, and I could pin through it.
