Hi Arachnids

I would like to thank everyone who has offered me help. I have plenty to work
on.

Blow the dust

[lace] American Museum in Bath - Decorative Art and Folk Art

[Jeriames]

Do any of our lace vendors participate in this August sales event in  Bath? 
 If so, please let Arachne members know.
 
https://americanmuseum.org/events/textiles-fair-2017/
 
When you look at the above address, note there will be another sale before  
Christmas.
 
Is Contemporary Lace your interest?  Are you a lace designer?  Do  not miss 
looking at the following film and the way color has been used.  It  is 
about Bargello, but could be about any thread technique that uses  color.

You may wish to read also about the "Quilting Bee".  Different British  
quilt groups meet at the museum every Tuesday.  The fine collection of  
American quilts must offer considerable inspiration to them.  Again, use of  
color. 
 I wonder if this museum would consider lacemaking.  You  know, something 
like Ipswich Lace.
 
I have visited this museum several times, and recommend it.

Thank you everyone who replied.  It sounds like there is much available
where my brother and his wife are going which is what I suspected.

Cheers,

[lace] 2017 Arachne Motif Exchange

[Lin Hudren]

The motifs are now starting to wing themselves across oceans.  Hopefully
all will be sent off by September 1.  Progress has been reported to be
right on track with lots of pretty lace pieces finding new homes and
bringing pleasure.  Don't we enjoy receiving and seeing new lace techniques
to add to our collections with love.

I am receiving details on each piece so we will be tempted in new venues.
Thank you participants for spreading more lace ideas across our
membership.  I look forward to another exchange again next year.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

Re: [lace] Rosaline

[Alex Stillwell]

Thank you Maria. I am also using Ghislaine’s book and I am puzzled by the
way she takes the sewings. Looking at the pictures on pages 30 and 31 they
appear to be same as the edge sewings we use when making Honiton, however the
diagrams pages 34-35 show her taking one thread from the pair approaching the
edge and one from the pair leaving the edge, very difficult to separate the
two threads of a pair and I wonder why, Jan does not show this method. I was
interested in Jan’s book because it seems to have more techniques in it and
I will now get Judith’s books.

Blow the dust, let’s make lace

Hello Alex,

I agree with Bev. There are other books writen in English which are as good as
Jan Geelen's. I myself in Europe try to buy bobbin lace books at Barbara Fay
Verlag when available. They do not charge post fees to Europe and I do not
know how it works all over the world, but I think it is worthwhile asking.
I have checked and they have the two books by Judith Cordell: Rosaline Perle
and Rosaline Perle 2 (
http://www.barbara-fay.com/index.php/en/component/virtuemart/bobbin-lace/rosa
lie-eng?Itemid=0 ).
I hope this information helps you.

  Good afternoon Arachnids

  It,s now my turn to ask for help. One of my student wishes to learn
Rosaline.
  I have a sound knowledge of Honiton but need to understand the differences
  between it and Rosaline. We both have ‘Rosaline Perlee by J Geeln 1990’
  but cannot read it. Has anyone a translation of the instructions of the
first
  few patterns and the accompanying descriptions earlier in the book? I could
  make a guess as to how to make the patterns but Jan goes into a lot of
details
  and I might misinterpret some of them.

  Looking forward to hearing from you

  Alex
