Re: [lace] IOLI Convention 2019

2018-09-08 Thread Adele Shaak
It’s a weird thing - but try checking on different days of the week. Honestly! 
Tuesday is a really good day to check. Plus it’s a lng time until 
Convention, and there are often seat sales in the winter-time. I’m no expert; 
these are just things I’ve noticed over the years.

[lace] IOLI Convention 2019

This is a heads up for anyone who wants to attend. Recently, I started checking 
airfares & there were several convenient, well priced flights. When I checked 
again at the end of last week, I was stunned to see that flights from 
Pittsburgh had increased by MORE than $100 round trip! Ouch—that’s a least one 
book plus thread or maybe two books. Word to the wise who are planning

[lace] Egyptian Linen

2018-09-08 Thread Sue Babbs
I was amused yesterday when I went into the World Museum in Liverpool with a
friend who wanted to visit the Egyptian gallery there.  There were a few
display boards (photos on Flickr) showing coarse to fine linens and some
boards explaining in general about linen manufacture and care.  They agreed
with our discussion - finer linen comes from younger plants.

There was also a stunning woven girdle, which I didn’t feel appropriate to
try to photograph as it was one of the display cases where you had to press a
button to light it.  The intricacy of the weaving was amazing.
