[lace] Re: Raffle and others
Hello Lacefriend, the list is a bit quiet and I was quiet too. Why? from easter till last sunday I was away four times. i know I wrote only about Kiskunhalas. After that I was in Rimini - Italia Invita. I liked my stay there very much, I met a lot of lovely people old ones and new but i have difficulties to tell you about. I think for embroiderers and for needle lace people it's like paradise. For bobbin lace makers it' depends on what? I can't describe it I am afraid to give a wron impression. So please forgive me when I am not more precise. But I hab a wonderful time except the flight from Hamburg, Germany to Rome, Italy but this hasn't to do anything with Italia Invita. This event take part every second year so if you are intereted you have to wait a little bit. But the next international festivals in Europe in 2007 are from 21. - 23 june in Presov-Sol'ná Bana in Slovakia from 15. - 19. september in Annaberg, Germany And there is a third but I can't find the paper, I'll tell you later. Now the raffle: I have three Hungarian stamps belonging together. From 2002 and showing doilies in Halas-lace. If you want to win them write your name to me privately latest sunday 2. june 2007 12.00 german time. DP will pull out of the hat one name I'll send the stamps in every corner of the world it's a simple letter. Good luck Ilske Am 26.

[lace] Mixing midlands sizes on one pillow?
Hi y'all, This is probably a stupid question but here goes. I have a number of standard size bobbins and another group of travel size bobbins. Is it feasible to mix these two sizes on the same project on the pillow? Thanks, Gina in Tampa, FL USA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] Mixing midlands sizes on one pillow?
Yes, it's feasible, but it will probably slow down your working, as you have to handle bobbins of significantly different size. There may also be very slight differences in the tension on the threads as the bobbins will weigh differently. But if your pattern needs amore bobbins and you don't otherwise have them, go for it!

[lace] Mixing midlands sizes on one pillow?
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Gina Shillitani [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes standard size bobbins and another group of travel size bobbins. Is it feasible to mix these two sizes on the same project on the pillow? You could, I suppose. I tend to spangle my travel bobbins so that they suit the thread, rather than the size of bobbin, so there isn't a lot of difference in weight to cause problems with tension. I also find that David Springett's bobbins are nearer travel bobbin length than standard. (Not that I use the ones I have of his very often, I can't get on with them). That said, the difference in length is likely to drive you bananas, especially if you don't pick your bobbins up at the top of the shank. If it was a case that I couldn't make the piece of lace I really really wanted to make without using the travel bobbins as well as standards, with the alternative of ordering more bobbins being out for one reason or another (probably time or money), then I would probably use both. For me it is unlikely, unless I attempt something like Miss Channer's Mat. Actually, that makes a bit of her book on the history of lace in the Midlands even more amusing. It is on page 3, the last but one paragraph, talking about making lace before the invention of pillows or bobbins. Her suggestion was that you gave your ball of thread to a man, and he held the threads round his fingers whilst you worked with them, and that with two men you could have as many as fifteen to twenty threads in use at least you knew exactly where the men in your life were, and what they were up to! I wonder if she was really trying to describe sprang? -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Book question
Some time ago, I was given a Bedfordshire collar by an elderly friend - his mother, a lace teacher in Olney, had made it in around 1910. Last year, being tempted on a visit to The Hollies to buy Cynthia Voysey's Bobbin Lace in Photographs (I already had the Needlelace one), there is a photograph of an identical collar, Plate 61. Unfortunately, other than the caption to the photograph, it is not listed in the credits as to which collection the original collar is in, and as the two are identical (other than the slight damage to the one depicted in the book) it was obviously made from a commercial pattern, and I wondered if there was any way of finding out a bit more, eg who designed it, etc. Any ideas? -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fwd: [lace] Mixing midlands sizes on one pillow?
Oops... Meant to send to the list... I have a number of standard size bobbins and another group of travel size bobbins. Is it feasible to mix these two sizes on the same project on the pillow? Certainly possible, in a pinch. But feasibility depends on your personality and on your working habits. As Sue Babbs'd said, the weight it going to be different, so you'll have to allow for that, when tensioning. The leashes will have different lengths (you want to keep all the tails more-or-less aligned, but I like to have *both* the tails and the heads level). If you tend to look at your bobbins (rather than at the threads near the pins) and if speed doesn't matter, you should be OK mixing the sizes (and, even shapes). If you watch the threads and move the bobbins more-or-less blindly, the mix will drive you nuts. If mixing is your only option of collecting enough for a particular pattern, try to minimise the impact of the mix: 1) the gimp bobbins can be different, because they serve a different function, so your rhythm breaks there anyway. 2) Footside and headside passives can be diifferent also, because those bobbins stay put, and it's easier to adjust to a *regularly occuring* change; if you can anticipate it, it's not as distracting. Same goes for any other static pairs (ie pairs which always serve only one function -- either it's *always* a worker, or it's *always* a passive, and always in the same position), though to a lesser extent. It's the bobbins which change roles -- sometimes a worker, sometimes a passive, sometimes an equal partner in the ground -- that need to be as well-matched as possible. A *random* mix in those situations can be really irritating. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We seem to have been cut off. Me: No we weren't - I just wanted to waste your time instead of you wasting mine. Hold on. and put the receiver down beside the phone. Got on with what I was doing and checked the phone after ten minutes - she'd hung up. Phone rings. Mandy screams: You're pathetic!!! Me: I think you're the pathetic one for bothering to ring me to tell me I'm pathetic. And besides that, at least I've got a proper job. I hung up.
