For your blood stain, if you haven't already washed it, your own saliva will dissolve the blood. Just suck it and see! Jean Nathan in Poole, Dorset, UK. Since then I had some dental work and have since found a small blood spot on the shoulder of a blue cotton blouse, so would things like vanish rubbed in remove it now it has dried on?

On second thoughts it might not be that simple because the blood has dried, but worth a go. It definitely works for fresh blood, but must be the saliva of the same person as the blood.

Re: [lace] Follow up on stains email (2)
I did have to laugh about the chocolate as I could see it in my head. sorry, really not laughing loudly,, well actually I did. But on the personal front I have a condition called Sjogrens Syndrome and it means I dont have any natural saliva to use. I use water, pastilles and artificial saliva sprays to help but that wont be of use to remove blood stains off my blouse, so I think I need to make some sort of paste with washing liquids of one sort or another. Thank you for the suggestions folks and I am sure this will be of use for someone out there. (Non chocolate eating at the time:-) ) Have fun at the conference all of you.

[lace] found this site
Whilst working away on my Bedfordshire Wisteria Edging, I realized that I may not have enough thread to finish it. I am using Brok 100/3 in white, which I have been told is now out of production. However, I googled it and found this site: http://www.gavand.co.uk/index.html So I have just ordered 6 reels, should definitely be enough. Have a look, as they have quite a few other threads and bits and bobs.

Try hydrogen peroxide first. I've seen it recommended in books.

Re: [lace] Follow up on stains email (2)
I tried the vanish granuals and it didn't shift, so I used my normal clothes washing liquid neat on the stain. I worked it with my finger tip and it went. Blouse now washed in the machine and I will take it out to dry in a few minutes. Sue Try hydrogen peroxide first. I've seen it recommended in books.

Beware as hydrogen peroxide is a bleach and can also damage fabrics. Basically it's what used to be used to put blonde highlights in hair L Sent from my iPhone On 12 Jul 2014, at 12:42, Cynce Williams cyncewilli...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Try hydrogen peroxide first.

[lace] Roseground
Dear Jane In my torchon days, my favourite was the ctct at the corners, but honeycomb stitch (ctt pin ctt) at the centre pins; it seemed to round out the centre. For those who like torchon with as wide a variety of stitches as possible, or just sight of a wide range to make a choice, Maidment's book takes a lot of beating. I think it's now one of those books that everyone at one point had, but was superseded, very briefly by Doreen Wright, then more permanently by Pam Nottingham's beginners' books. However, the torchon section remains unsurpassed for this variety of stitches - working the sampler gives you a marvellous piece which works as a genuine sampler, providing practice, and an opportunity to see what it looks like. The rest is of its time, though still a useful additional resource in some circumstances. Sadly, the libraries of the original owners are now becoming available, but this does mean that if you want one cheaply for reference, eg for the torchon section, they are available again, and I would recommend it. I would not recommend paying fancy ebay prices though, or taking it as your sole or main reference book. I see from the Lace Guild's list that they have a copy (or probably more than one) for GBP 0.50; less than the cost of a postage stamp - at that price, everyone should have one!! leonard...@yahoo.com, at present enjoying the sun at the maternal home in Cheltenham, so away from library, hence no ISBNs. Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:55:29 +0100 From: Jane Partridge jpartri...@pebble.demon.co.uk Subject: [lace] Rose Ground Just out of interest, what is your favourite combination of stitches for Rose Ground? I tend to stick with the corner intersections (which I label a, b, c, d) as CTCT and then the centre pins (1, 2, 3, 4) CT, pin, CT. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
