Re: [lace] French lace equipment website
Dear Lacemakers, When you come across a lace term you do not understand, one of the best ways to look it up is to use our Arachne archives: _http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html) I printed the name of this site, cut it down to one line of type, and taped it to my computer monitor for quick reference. Suggest many of you would find this a very quick way to find it when needed. Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center --- In a message dated 3/23/2010 7:10:07 A.M.

[lace] l...@arachne's Birthday is April 12th
Our valuable lace site's 15th birthday is fast approaching. A year ago, I wrote and asked what we might do to celebrate. ?? The question is still open. ?? At the least, we must acknowledge the generosity of our founder - Liz. Also, the enormous amounts of time and talent our Avital devotes to Arachne!

[lace] The Textile Conservation Centre is moving
You may remember that the University of Southampton in England is closing the Textile Conservation Centre in Winchester - something which would leave the UK without any training facilities for conservation specialists. Some good news that I have just received on the email list of the Online Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers from Steve Kennett, Treasurer of the Textile Conservation Centre Foundation is that they have come to an agreement with Glasgow University and that the centre is relocating to Glasgow and will be taking students at the beginning of the new academic year. There are further details on his blog at www.amberleysteve.wordpress.com Jean in Glasgow - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Plimoth Jacket/Waistcoat photos published
If you are interested in history, read on! Those of us who are members of lace and/or embroidery guilds have been following the progress of bringing this reproduction 17th C. jacket (inspired by the Layton waistcoat and portrait of same at the Victorian Albert Museum) to the attention of the public. We have seen the pictures in our publications and on the blog that was set up during the making of the waistcoat. For those who do not receive guild magazines, I just found a 4-page article in the April issue of Early American Life magazine at my local chain bookstore. Two photos show the jacket on a model; one of which is photographed by candlelight. As you may know, you can find a chair and read magazines from the racks in large bookstores in America and in public libraries. The article is on page 68. One of my memberships is the Costume Society of America (a scholarly group), which has also been following the progress of this complicated-to-complete project. We spent a day in Plimoth (Colonial spelling) Plantation, Plymouth Massachusetts, last Fall, before the assembly of all the pieces, to learn from the costumer's point of view. Devon was a featured speaker at this event. The jacket is now on view at Winterthur Museum's Textile and Museum Gallery, (in the State of Delaware) and will be featured in a textile seminar there later this year. I have attended two of these seminars in the past, and recommend them to those interested in the history of what we do with threads and what was done with threads in the past.

For those who are interested in the Plimoth Jacket, you might go to the Thistle Threads website and check out their blog. They have published many photos of the Jacket in progress, and more recently, the finished garment. It is stunning. http://thistle-threads.com.mytempweb.com/blog/ Dianne - Original Message - From: laceandb...@aol.com Date: Friday, March 26, 2010 6:57 am Subject: Re: [lace] Plimoth Jacket/Waistcoat photos published To: lace@arachne.com In a message dated 26/03/2010 13:14:49 GMT Standard Time, jeria...@aol.com writes: For those who do not receive guild magazines, I just found a 4- page article in the April issue of Early American Life magazine at my local chain bookstore.
