[lace] What if

[Lin Hudren]

well, seems to be an interest.  want to make that butterfly, lady bug,
bumble bee, daisy?  that little motif that appealed to you but no where to
send?  let's play.

send me your name, snail mail address, email address and let's get
something happening.  we will send off our fun to another who loves to play
too.  lots of time.  i guess i should make this a bit formal.

do you think signing up from July 21 to July 31 would work?  we can lace
until October 15-30 and mail off on October 30?  good for spiders or
pumpkins (gremlins???).  Gosh how many fun things can we think up?  my
creative juices are flowing.  i had best check with Jenny to see if she
will display our fun and creativity.  she is so good about showing us what
we do.

waiting to hear from you.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

[lace] What if?

[Lin Hudren]

Who wants to join a "what if" event?  my pillow is lonesome.  what can i
make and send off to a new home?  is there a pumpkin i think i would like
to create but have no one to share it with?  maybe that shamrock that
calls?  maybe that heart given with love?  what about that rainbow?  what
have you seen that you would enjoy making but don't have a place to gift
it?  let's play.  maybe we can get Jenny to share on her web pages.

we are all so talented and have time to create and gift.  does anyone want
to play?  join in to me and i will host a fun time at linhud...@gmail.com.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

[lace] Death of Radmila Zuman, American Czech Lace Expert

[Jeriames]

Dear Lacemakers,
 
We have lost another of our precious lace experts, Radmila Zuman.
 
You can read her obituary by clicking on her name (on the  right) at:
 
http://www.dignitymemorial.com/garner-funeral-service/en-us/index.page
 
Be sure to click to read the entire write-up about her life, because there  
is much about lace.  I have put a note in the guest book, and thought some  
of you might also like to send appreciation for all she contributed to lace 
 knowledge.  However, messages may not appear, according to  the automatic 
message I received after posting.   Horrid how businesses try to profit from 
such things.  Here  is what I wrote:
 
"Radmila was a lace teacher and author who brought Czech lace (and culture) 
 to many lace guild members.  We have lost a great friend who promoted this 
 art across America and also in her native country.  Some of us  remember 
how thrilled she was to attend the 2004 l'Organisation International de  la 
Dentelle au Fuseau et a l'Aigulle (OIDFA) Congress in Prague.  Love to  her 
family and close friends.  Radmila, may your threads never tangle  in Heaven. 
 Jeri Ames, Winthrop, Maine"  
 
Hope IOLI and other guilds around the world will be able to feature  her 
last piece of lace (described in the obituary) on a Bulletin  cover, and give 
her a nice send-off.  
 
We simply cannot afford to lose so many of our very talented lace artists  
without replacements.  In memory of Radmila, please encourage a young  
person to learn to make lace.  Show them the very modern pieces she  created.  
 
My library contains the following, which is in the IOLI library and  
probably in may local lace guild libraries:
 
Treasury of Patterns (in English and Czech)
Published by Palickovani, 2004
Praha, Czech Republic
90 pages of patterns, prickings, and photos of lace
Contains Referencesa (Books) and Sources (Museums/Guilds)
ISBN 80-86455-04-1
