[lace] lace enquiry
I received this email yesterday and was wondering what 'the Lacelist' suggests regarding the enquiry. (I think from someone in the london area uk) "/I have an cotton appliqué tablecloth with lace trim both centrally and at the corners. After the last wash I noticed that the lace - which is still very much in place has a few holes where the web/linking strands have become detached. One corner is still complete so it is a template to know where these strands should go. Two corners are very minor damage - one has several strands broken . the central lace has very minor damage. Do you know anyone who would be willing to tackle this repair for me and to check the rest on the lace to ensure it is OK? I believe it is the open ?Buckingham (handkerchief corner style only not as fine) lace rather than fine bobbin lace. For those who know what they are doing I don't think it would be too difficult, but for me it could take days and still not look a bodge./ / //Many thanks for reading this far!" / I think perhaps a photo would make decisions easier but also feel it's not something I could do.. any ideas??? Many Thanks Celia Mulhearn in chilly but sunny SE18 not far from Greenwich UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Motorcyclist
I envy the youth of lacemakers who ride motorcycles! Woe is me! I rode a Honda back in the 1960s and 1970s when my late first husband rode a Harley. But that was before I learned lacemaking except crochet. Oh to be young again...

Re: [lace] Lace in Chicago
I want to echo the comments of others. When I saw "suloch...@...", I exclaimed happily, "Oh! Sulochona's back!" and then had to spend the next few minutes explaining to my DH who Sulochona is. I was and am delighted to see your name back on the list as I always enjoyed your postings. Best wishes to you and your family on the marriage and retirement. Please do stay in touch, and enjoy your visit in Chicago.

[lace] Re: Tatting bikers
Hi Karen!!! I am a biker as well. But not motorized bike. :-D I am a cyclist. And I guess I would be termed a "tatting cyclist" since I much prefer to ride my bike than in a car. Don't own a motorcycle, though I toy with the idea, but wife won't hear of it. So I go around town or country on my bike with helmet on and use proper biking etiquette and all that. I guess I need to make up a bicycle pattern. Has to be a Trek, Mongoose or Schwinn ;) I got the chance to meet Karen roaring in on her Harley at the Palmetto Tat Days back in 2005(?). Coolest thing I ever saw! And what a way to travel! It would take me quite a few days to get to conventions if I came in on my bike LOL!!! -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tat-man.net/blog Magic Thread Shop: http://www.tat-man.net/tatterville/tatshop/tatshop.html email: tat...@tat-man.net - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Re: Tatting bikers
Hi Sherry and other lacemakers, Actually I prefer the term 'Tatting Motorcyclist' instead of 'Biker'. No, I do not wear black leather...I prefer bright colored apparell to be seen. And I always wear my helmet if the law tells me I have to or not. That is a brief intro to the difference (to me) of a biker versus a motorcyclist. Yes, I do tat and needlelace and motorcycle and teach and every so often I get to put two of my passions together. My first solo motorcycling/ lace experience was the NJ IOLI Convention. My husband and kids bailed on a family motorcycle/camping vacation and so I decided I NEEDED a motorcycle trip and at the last minute decided to go. Since then I have motorcycled 3 times to the Palmetto Lace In in SC from Nebraska where I live, once to the IOLI Convention in Denver, and to several national needlework shows where I taught. Yes, I did tat a motorcycle. I did it probably 15 plus years ago. It is all tatted in components and then stitched onto a piece of cloth backing. As many of you who know me know, I love 'advanced tatting techniques' and the motorcycle was for me to prove to myself that I could use techniques to create a unique tatted piece. I have been asked to on several occasions for the pattern. Well---'If' I actually get around to writing up the pattern it, will probably look different than it does now. The motorcycle I patterned my tatted piece off of is a Triumph model (not very popular). If I do write a pattern it will 'have' to look like a Harley. That is what 98% of people want. Right now I am diligently working on a 'Fun With Split Rings' book. I have way too many patterns for one book and just keep coming up with more.

I do have a picture of her with her motorcycle that I took. She has also designed a tatted motorcycle that looks just like a motorcycle.

I always try to shop/eat when I go to Chicago! Fun Fun! Of course it pales to India, but those in the US enjoy it! (sorry, didn't know if Sulochona is on chat.)

Re: [lace] Lace Magazine
That sounds like a delay between the mailing house sending out the magazines and the Royal Mail in the Poole area. Mine arrived n Medway last week. I know that my Kent Family History Society journal which is despatched from Kent usually arrives to UK members after the overseas members gat theirs because the overseas ones go airmail (the reason for the higher fees ) but the UK ones go by bulk mailing which is really third class.
