[lace] Re: [lace-chat] ISBN book help
Hello Jacqui Have you asked Rosemary Green (Lace Guild Librarian) where the Guild's copy came from? Brenda Does anyone know if there is a way to search for a book worldwide using just its ISBN number? The reason why I'm asking is that I have just borrowed a book from the Lace Guild library which I would very much like a copy of, BUT it is a Russian one, in Russian. I have previously tried to do an ebay search for 'lace' using the cyrillic alphabet, but it doesn't recognise it or I didn't know how to get it to recognise it! The book has an ISBN reference, so where/how do I search for a copy of this book. Or a way to search using Russian script.

[lace] lace course in Australia
Hello Australian lacemakers, In december I am going to visit my son in Sydney. While I am there ,visiting your country, I would enjoy giving a lace course or lace workshop to the local lacemakers. I am a lace teacher, was laureate of the lace teachers course in the Kantcentrum (Brugge) in 2003, and have more than 28 years of experience with continental laces from Belgium (Binche, Flanders, Mechlin, point de Paris.., but also recently with the Chantilly and Polychrome de courseulles( France). Maybe someone can bring me in contact with Petronella Wensing, whom I saw once at the kantcentrum years ago (not knowing yet that one of my sons was going to Australia for 3 years) ? Please mail me privately for more informations, Hope to see you in december , Magda (from rainy but warm Brugge- Belgium) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Chantilly Lace DVD in Europe?
Hello, I'm trying to get hold of a copy of the DVD Chantilly Lace with Lia Baumeister-Jonker - does anyone know if it's available somewhere in Europe? I'm interested in all kinds of Tulle lace (Buck's, Tønder etc.) and this seems to be the only thing available about Chantilly. Best, Achim in Berlin. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] OIDFA anniversary bobbin
I don't currently belong to OIDFA, but the leader of my Monday lace group does.

Re: [lace] OIDFA anniversary bobbin
oops first message bounced to Jean Hi Jean and everyone I think the bobbins were done as a project by a member of the board, perhaps a donation. It was a nice way to mark their 25th anniversary. Your friend can write the OIDFA UK rep to find out more.

[lace] Lace Horeshoe pattern
HI Penny, Christine Springetts latest book Lace for Special Occasions has both a simple garter and horseshoe pattern. The garter is made with just one strip of lace in white with a blue edge and the footside has a strip of blue satin ribbin folded and stitched to form a channel to take the elastic. This might be the quickest of garters to make as it is just one simple strip, all the other patterns I have seen for garters have been two strips of the same pattern side by side with a join up the middle to thread ribbon through. Christine's horseshoe is a simple torchon ground with whole stitch heart shapes and a fan edge. This is in white and blue thread and backed by a silver horseshoe. There are also lace headdresses, a lace flowery shoe decoration, a lace edging to put at the back of the bride's posy, greetings cards with heart shapes on them, pictures with hearts in them bearing the names of the happy couple, place cards with lace edging, lots of projects specially for weddings Christine's book Lace for Children of All Ages also has a horseshoe which is made mostly in honeycomb stitch she makes it in white thread with a blue gimp round the edges. I make mine in Silver coloured Gold Rush thread instead of the white but still add the blue gimp round the edges. Then instead of fixing the horseshoe to a card horseshoe, which are just not available here in Spain, I stiffen mine with a special liquid called Stiffy giving it a couple of coats on the back of the lace and leaving it to dry thoroughly between coats pinned to a pricking board that I cover with a bit of cling film first. From the same book I make 3 of the little flowers that Christine uses for Alice bands and cards, I add a tiny pearl seed bead to the centre. The flowers are simply and strip of whole stitch that has an uneven scallop along it's edge then these are gathered up tight to form a little flower. The flower pattern is in 3 sizes and you could make the large and the small sizes and layer them with the smaller one on top of the large to make a fuller flower adding a seed bead to the centre. I drew up a leaf shape on a scrap of pricking card and added pin holes neatly around the edge of it for a leaf pricking, so long as you have the holes more or less equidistant from each other and an equal number per side it doesn't have to be perfect. I make 3 leaves in green, you can add a vein if you want down the centre of each. You can make 3 flowers and 3 leaves in an evening especially if you wind and tie your bobbins so that re-winding them for the next flower or leaf is much quicker, and you don't waste so much thread into the bargain. I stiffen the lot with Stiffy giving the leaves a bit of a bend in them to make them look more realistic, again pinning them with a couple pins to a plastic covered pricking board, and pulling up the petal shape of the flowers to make them slightly cupped. I then carefully attach the flowers and leaves to the horseshoe stitching them with thin white thread and making tiny stitches to make them as invisible as possible on the back side. Add a blue satin handle and hide the ribbon ends with two little satin bows. The whole horseshoe only takes a maximum of 5 evenings from start to finish including drying time for the stiffening liquid. You being in England would be able to buy a card horseshoe to fix the lace horseshoe to in the way Christine does and could maybe just stiffly starch the flowers and leaves, but the starch might make them go whitish in colour, Stiffy dries clear. I can let you have a photo of my most recent horseshoe that I made in this way but as I don't have a webpage I would have to send it as an attachment to you off list. I haven't yet made one from the Special Occasions book. SMP Lace in Bucks England sells all of Christine Springetts books and will take credit card payments if you phone with your details. I have ordered and received books in this way here to Spain within a week of ordering them from SMP. http://www.smplace.co.uk/ You could e.mail him first to check he has a copy in stock and ask about speed of sending out your order. Both books are more expensive from Amazon than they are from SMP at present. You might find Stiffy in craft shops, I bought mine years ago in a little craft shop in Chipping Sodbury Gloucestershire so you should find it in larger craft shops etc. I need to buy another bottle of stiffy but each time I go to the UK I always forget it when shopping. The tea bags and Marmite take precedence on the shopping list. Good Luck Jenny DeAngelis. Spain. Help please, does anyone have a pattern for a simple lace horseshoe for a wedding. I have been asked to make one for a friend's daughter, along with a garter and I only have 6 weeks to finish both. However I don't have a horseshoe pattern. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace
[lace] Lace Guild website update and other things
Life is a bit hectic at the moment as I'm in the midst of preparing the catalogue for the Lace Guild's 'Seven' exhibition which opens in Dudley, West Midlands on 14th July. The judging for the associated John Bull Trophy competition takes place next week and we hope to get the results up on the website before we go away on 4th July (pictures will probably have to wait until we get back). Anyway we did manage to find time to update the extracts from 'Lace' and have included part of Devon Thien's article about Gertrude Whiting. You'll also find my Sea Spiral pattern with a corrected diagram (hope no one has been having problems with that). The url is in the signature - contact us if you have any problems.

[lace-chat] RE: [lace] Fw: Does anyone have a horseshoe pattern?
Hi Penny, Following on the suggestions already made - if you belong to the UK Lace Guild then you could borrow the book(s) from their library. In my experience it is an extremely efficient service (all for the cost of the postage). There is also a self published book by Gilian Dye called Weddings and Anniversaries that has a torchon horseshoe in it.

[lace-chat] Horseshoe Pattern
Thank you to all who replied to my request for a Horseshoe Pattern, and especially to Ruth Budge for sending me a pricking. Having moved recently and all my belongings are scattered in three different storage areas, I have been unable to access my lace books and much of my lace equipment as I don't know exactly where it is hence my request. Once again, thank you one and all for replying.
