[lace] Any lace makers in southern Spain?
Hello everyone and especially those who know about lace making in Spain, On saturday I met a lace maker who spendes winters in Spain, near Marbella in the southern coast. She has been making lace alone and was wondering if there are any lace makers in that area. I promised to ask from Arachne in case you could help her to find other lace makers. You can send any information you have straight to her: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for any help you can give. Happy lacing, Outi [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS. About lace activities: On 23rd of September I was demonstrating in a shopping center with our local lace group (So far two new students have shown up.) Last Saturday was a book viewing meeting of another lace group I belong to and this coming Saturday will be a meeting of our National (Finnish) lace association. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Lace activities/bragging
I am working on a small piece of mimosa I started at convention in Montreal. It's a triangle which I wil be using in the inset of a v-necked t-shirt. This week I will also be starting a piece of Cantu' for a demonstration this weekend. The piece is supposed to be an inset, but I think it is perfectly shaped for a bookmark, so that's what it will become. While I am writing, I have to brag. So far this year I have completed three lace pieces, a small Bedfordshire heart, a Cantu' mat I started at convention in Harrisburg two years ago and Louise Colgan's Milanese moon. This is very exciting to me, as this is the first year since my daughter was born three years ago that I have managed to complete anything! My son who arrived a year ago also added complications into the lacemaking. I have to thank all of you on arachne for being a sort of lace lifeline during this period. Even if I wasn't making lace, I was reading about it and felt myself to be involved in it, even in a small way. So thank you.

Hi everyone, and thank you Janice for the nice report - yes quiet list - so... what's everyone else doing in lace? I have been giving a little assistance by email and snail mail to a new friend who is quite new to lacemaking. She managed to work the first braids of a driad kit on her own but didnt know where to go next, so I have produced a simple grid bookmark and also grid plus spiders and diamond shape for her to try out next, plus easy instructions and pictures which will help her long distance. It is great in that it has helped me practise using my lace design program with an actual in mind instead of an imaginary, so a lovely 2 way thing and she understood what I wrote:-) In actual lace I have been enjoying making a series of little hearts from Christine Springetts books as little gifts for a small bunch of friends. I have struggled a bit with the one with the french fan, as its only the second time I have attempted this type of fan, the first time was about 4 years ago. I tried about 3 different ways to get that really nice tidy top, but will have to wait and see how good they are once its off the pillow. If any of you have a tried and tested really good method I would love to know about it, my original notes which I tried to take way back are not really very precise and it is a piece I gave away so cannot look at. I read and re read Christines instructions but not quite sure whether I am doing what she said, also tried what I think I remember from the first time. Also I have been playing with my design program and getting very excited that I am beginning to make it work, getting more confident with it too. I haven't yet designed a piece for me to make yet, but I think that might just happen yet:-) I have really enjoyed reading all you other ladies have achieved and I am sure the gents have been busy too:-) Sue T, Dorset UK - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Alice Howell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes > (What sort of table >decoration is normal for an English Tea Party?) I'm assuming this is contemporary, rather than historical? Most of the time these days any table decoration tends to be floral - so either an "arrangement" (flowers stuck into a piece of Oasis - a foam used by florists - in a sort of semi spherical shape) or a simple bud vase with one or more fresh flowers in it. Other than that, table cloths, cutlery and condiments as appropriate. The old days of the "Afternoon Tea" are long gone, but that would have consisted of sandwiches, cakes, scone with butter, jam and cream, and a pot of tea (remember the jug of hot water!). In other parts of the country, you may also have cold meats and salad, followed by fruit and cream, cakes and pot of tea. It seems to be a north/south divide - even in the Midlands - my (Birmingham) idea of "Sunday Tea" (as a meal at about 5-6pm) is different to that of my husband's (Nottingham) family! -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
