[lace] lace+prisons
There is a display of lace made by female inmates in a former prison (Arizona Territorial Prison in Yuma, now a museum run by the State Parks of Arizona). The prison operated from 1876-1909. If you Google "Arizona prisons+lace" you can see at least one picture of the lace exhibit , with the caption"lace made by inmates for personal use and for barter". A friend who visited the place  said there was an extensive exhibit of the lace, so apparently, historically, there was no rule against prisoners using lacemaking tools.  http://travel.webshots.album/559730635QPVYAQ 1 - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Hi Sue, DH did a nice job of your website. Lots of lovely lace, you have been busy. I was pleased to see a number of my small designs amongst your lacemaking. So gratifying. I also liked the simple bookmark with the teapots and cups. Where did you find that pattern? I am sure Tamara would enjoy adding that one to her "T' collection.

I am sure Tamara would enjoy adding that one to her "T' collection. Janice Tamara should have it in her stash, Janice - it is one of mine, that was published in the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette (Vol 20 No 4 (Summer 2006 - bookmarks and fridge magnets) and a matching insertion in Vol 21 No 2 (Winter 2006). For those who have the magazines, there is a vertical line of pinholes missing from the right hand side of the bookmark on the left, and on the left hand side of the bookmark on the right - they should be the same 'template' as the two in the centre, which are correct. Possibly, if you (and Diane Williams, who also asked Sue about it) contact Bev Walker, who is editor of the Gazette, she may be able to tell you if the back issues are still available. (I've got a conflict between my old design programme and our 'new' printer, which is most frustrating, so it will probably be easier if you try that route of obtaining a copy first.) -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] new website
I have now made myself A Round Tuit. It's tatted, with ring and with chain. And now I can always point to it If I say "around to it" again. There's a Bucks fan I'm longing to tackle. There's a Bedfordshire collar with cuff. And now that I have A Round Tuit I can happily say "time's enough". For if one has got A Round Tuit There are no more excuses to make. All you do is just dig in and start it No matter what time it might take! nlaffe...@ozemail.com.au > Sure do:) Haven't got "roundtoit" yet, though... > > Tamara P Duvall - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
