RE: [lace] 4 bookmark scans recieved so far
I have received mine from Janet Theaker, and mine to her is going off in the mail today. However, I'm in the UK at the moment and won't be able to scan Janet's or download the photo of mine until I get home next week.

[lace] Erica Wilson - October 8, 1928 to December 13, 2011
Dear Lace Friends, Yesterday, when I finished writing a memorial piece about Erica Wilson for publication elsewhere, it occurred to me that lacemakers, as well as embroiderers, might have been influenced by her. I did not hear of her death until January, and this may be your first notice of it. She was British, a graduate of the Royal School of Needlework when it was located in London, and became famous after relocating to the U.S. in 1954. Erica became a millionaire many times over from her needlework businesses. In fact, it would be hard (if not impossible) to name any other woman who (directly, or indirectly) influenced so many people to practice the art of needlework. (Well, maybe Th. de Dillmont, in a different way.) America's embroidery guilds were founded after Erica did so much to help further the production of needlework. Erica saw inspiration for needlework everywhere and on everything. She reached her stitching audiences via books, correspondence courses, a newsletter, a Public Broadcasting System television program, a syndicated newspaper column, her retail shops, seminars, kits that could be found in museum shops and department stores, and non-stop tours of the U.S. giving lectures and holding workshops. Various newspaper reports credit her with writing anywhere from 16 to 19 needlework books. They established new standards for books of this type. They were printed on quality paper, included history, were colorful, and very well illustrated. Her writings about Whitework embroidery in some of the books mention lace. . If you happen to have the large 374-page orange volume published by Scribner's in 1973 Erica Wilson's Embroidery Book, you will find a photograph of a gold thread embroidery on red damask of St. George and the Dragon. It was designed and stitched by our lace friend, Tess Parrish.

I have received mine from Sallie Owensby, but haven't scanned it. Unless Sally already did that for you. And I will be mailing mine out real soon.

[lace] Kene
Marina Brankina has written a short course on Kene, Bulgarian Needlepoint Lace, and has published it on needlelactalk. http://needlelacetalk.ning.com/group/oyaturkisharmenianmediterraneanknottedne edlelace/forum/topics/kene-bulgarian-needlepoint-lace Kene is similar to Armenian/Mediterranean needlelace, and uses the same knot. There are some stylistic differences. Kene prefers small figures as motifs in an edging.

[lace] mezza mandolina wishing for a lace smorgasbord
Hello All! Thank you Lorelei for the link--I had stumbled there myself after a Google. What I was trying to understand regarding MM--when looking at some of the online pages in Ricci's book, MM seemed to be a technique unto itself, but a few pages later it seemed to be used as a filling connecting motifs in another type of lace. There are so many intriguing tidbits out there some combination thereof would make a terrific lace retreat. It sure would be fun to have a smorgasbord of lace--let's say learning five techniques from five teachers in five days. Rotating thru the classes would be like an all you can eat (lace) buffet! A soupcon of each. Oh my. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
