Joeanna Which book is it? I have a translation of Dieren in Kleur which sounds very similar: Russian coloured lace. If so I can look the pattern up for you. The directions are fairly brief though. Mine was sold by Makit Direct in Little Paxton, St Neots.

Fw: [lace] What are you working on?
Having recently completed the garter lace for my daughter, I have also now completed my strip for my convict bonnet and am almost halfway through the first of my special lace cuffs. Both the convict bonnet and the cuffs are my first really exciting venture into designing my own pieces which are actually working, so I did learn some valuable lessons with the couple of sample bits that went wrong. The cuffs are to go on an outfit for our living history camping, originally wanted in August but we have now decided to use them in May instead, so I have spent the last couple of weekends cutting out, with a couple more items to go before I begin a mass sew in. We do the American fur trade times but as Scottish, hense my cuffs with thistle heads on:-) I have also cut out the bonnet to make up and a special pocket for my costume, which I am going to add my card exchange hummingbird for decoration. You can't believe how excited I am to see that done, who ever chose our partner swaps did a fantastic job for meg Collecting in my little box are all the bits of lace that need making up into their end item (this bit is the part that gets left, so I must begin to make myself get on with some of those too. Luckily my DH is getting more domesticated, so shares some of the jobs around the house these days. I have loved reading about all your projects. I sometimes have a couple of pillows on the go at one time, especially when I was going for my lessons, one class piece which needed information to be taught and other little bits to do on another pillow for when I got stuck, or if I needed a little item done for someone at the same time, Sue T, Dorset UK - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So one the cloth I am doing now, I am darning the ends in which I think will look better. my hair on the photo is dark,. I`m afraid its not like that now. The man in the photo is Tony Mallion who was the producer of the Children in need shows in 2001 on radio Norfolk.

Re: [lace]what are you working on?
Hi Jeanette, Bev, et al, I usually have umpteen pillows on the go, as well as the crochet and embroidery - not only because I have a butterfly mind, but because some pillows are more practical to take to lace days or to demos, or to people's houses! Some of the lace days are far too crowded to be so antisocial as to take a 22 or 24 pillow, so the three small travel pillows have different prickings on them to take.The large pillows go with me if I know there will be space to use them, and the travel pillow which folds up into a brick-like shape goes when I know I have edgings to finish and - as the pillow bit folds out to more than the usual cookie pillow - when I know I have space for that one too! If I am demonstrating at Museums etc., then I generally take several pillows, of all shapes and sizes, with different types of lace on them so, if I get fed up doing one, there is always another to use - and of course, there are different things to show the 'audience'. And when I go to Lace Days, I do sometimes also take the crochet .

Re: [lace] blog
Sof, thank you so much for posting that URL. Although I couldn't make out most of the text, the pictures are wonderful, AND . . . There is a drawing of Point de Raccroc, which is the technique for joining strips of Chantilly lace together invisibly. I knew only that it was done with two threaded needles, and had no idea past that. The picture makes it very clear. I may never actually need to use the technique, but it is so satisfying to understand how it's done.

I'm halfway through Jumbo's Pride, by Anny Noben-Slegers (part of Pride of Africa, I think). Got it from Anny at teachers' night at IOLI in Denver, because it shows elephants which my mother collects. I'm hoping to finish it to enter in the biennial Albuquerque Fiber Arts Fiesta in May, but the photo of the finished piece is due with the entry in mid March. I've been learning Flanders for over a year now, but this is definitely stretching. Fortunately I read diagrams well. Have signed up for Michael Giusiana's Binche course at Sweet Briar, so I'll find out what mistakes I've made, then make it again with finer thread. Working out a scheme for a portable block pillow to take there, involving fabric sides and a foam core base, that will fold down to fit in the suitcase. Also halfway through a Flanders handkerchief edging, the next to last project in my teacher's Flanders sequence . Planning for the piece to enter for IOLI. And started a feather and fan knitted shawl for our Prayer Shawl ministry at church, as an easy portable project. No tatting at the moment.

[lace] folding travel pillow
From: Beth Stoll [EMAIL PROTECTED] .Working out a scheme for a portable block pillow to take there, involving fabric sides and a foam core base, that will fold down to fit in the suitcase. When I needed a folding pillow, I started with one of Snowgoose's One and Only pillows. These come as a kit (cover glue it yourself). It's ethafoam (archival polyester foam) in a circle, a circle of corrugated cardboard, and a box made from foamboard in the center. There are square and half-square blocks that fit into the box area, plus a cylinder so you could use it as a cookie, a block, or a roller pillow. Hence the name. I cut the circle of ethafoam in half, along with the long foamboard pieces, and cut most of the way through the corrugated cardboard. I glued fabric to the uncut side of the cardboard and folded then edges over onto the cut side and glued them down. This forms the hinge so the carboard (and the pillow when it's glued to the cardboard) folds in half. Then I covered each half of the circle of ethafoam (except the cut ends) and glued each half onto the halves of the cardboard. Then I glued the short foamboard pieces and halves of the long pieces into the opening in each half-circle. I put ribbons along the top of the cut edge each half-circle of covered ethafoam (so the ribbons lay side-by- side with the ribbons of the other half-circle when the pillow is laying flat). I put ribbons around the edge of the foamboard box and the ribbon on one side was long, so it could be lapped over the cut and pinned on the other side. I also put ribbon around the bottom outside edge of each half-circle, woth one side long enough to cross the gap and pin. WHen the ribbons on the outside edge and the box are pinned down, the pillow can't fold up on you, but just unpin and the thing can be folded in half with the pricking/pins/threads/bobbins outside. At the end of a workshop, I make sure the pricking (the part with pins in it, if it's a long pricking) is at the near end of the box (the end closest to me when I have the bobbins in front of me to work on it). I carefully bundle the bobbins into a cover cloth (after securing them in order with crocheted holders) and pin the cover cloth onto the half-circle. I put the bundle close enough to the pinned area so that there's no tension on the threads (in case there's anything trying to move the bobbin-bundle while it's in the suitcase). I use another cover cloth to protect the lace on the pricking and to make cure the block with the pricking doesn't move in relation to the bobbins and to the half-circle. I've [packed that into a suitcase with no breakage. Another time, I took the block with the pricking and the bundled bobbins and put them into a box for protection, then put the folded pillow into the suitcase. Robin P.
