[lace] Re: St. Catherine, our Patron Saint of Lacemakers
"written extensively through the years about St. Catherine, the patron saint of lacemakers, whose day is next Friday, November 25th...local lace guilds...as a special time for a gathering...English custom is to serve Cattern Cakes." Not to change a custom, but the comment made me think of French Lace Cookies, which are easy to make and keep, and very delicious!

Re: [lace] St. Catherine, our Patron Saint - for Newbies
Thank you for list the sites. and to all the lacers out there. I will be lacing friday in honor of our Saint. My Saint Catherine look over all of us. Happy Thanksgiving to our everyone celebrating. From: "jeria...@aol.com" To: lace@arachne.com Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2011 11:48 AM Subject: [lace] St. Catherine, our Patron Saint - for Newbies Dear Newbies, We have written extensively through the years about St. Catherine, the patron saint of lacemakers, whose day is next Friday, November 25th. There are local lace guilds who use this day as a special time for a gathering of lacemakers. The English custom is to serve Cattern Cakes. This year, the 25th is the day after the American Thanksgiving. This is a time when correspondence on Arachne drops to almost nothing, while our busy women are preparing family feasts or traveling to be with loved ones. Therefore, (for the time - next weekend - when you are not receiving much mail) I am giving you the address where you can read all about St. Catherine and the cake served in her memory: _http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html) At this site, search for: 1. St. Catherine's Day 2. Cattern Cake If long-time members of Arachne are celebrating St. Catherine, please share what kind of program you have planned or memories of this day, so our newbies may learn more about this old custom that we are dedicated to keeping.

[lace] [LACE] pattern sharing helpful hint.
Hi All, I know we all like to share or download free patterns over the internet. I have noticed that they do not always come across to the scale sent. I have an idea that might help stop the madness. I began putting a 1 inch scale line on the pricking before sending so the recipient can tell if the pricking is to scale after printing. Thread size is great but not all off are experienced enough to tell if the scaling is correct. Just my thoughts I thought I would pass on.

Re: [lace] St. Catherine, our Patron Saint
I will be lacing Friday, also. I am scheduled with a five hour shift at the Holiday Market. Most of the time I'm free to make lace. I'll be doing a Christmas ornament...my last one. When it's done, I'll go back to my other projects. There will be many hours of lacemaking at the Holiday Market for the rest of this year so I'll be able to do more than one project. We will mention St. Catherine's Day at our lace meeting on Saturday. No cookies, though, since no food is allowed in that meeting room. We will go out to lunch together after the meeting. Alice in Oregon... where DH and I will spend a quiet Thanksgiving before resuming our busy lives.

[lace] pattern sharing helpful hint.
This is helpful with anything that is critical as to size. As some printers and copiers distort by different amounts horizontally and vertically, may I suggest that the one inch lines are shown in both directions?
