[lace] Proposed Visit

2010-02-19 Thread Clive and Dot

Hello Arachneans,

DH and I are planning a trip to San Antonio TX in April stayiing about a 
month, I am wondering if there is any 'Lace' activities in that area, I 
dont think I have ever seen an entry from there on Arachne but wonder if 
they have an IOLI branch in the vicinity?  Otherwise can anyone tell me 
of anything else of interest in the area.


Many thanks,

[lace] Christmas tree ornament

2009-10-19 Thread Clive and Dot

Hi Irene,

There is a Christmas tree ornament done by Clair Burchard very simple 
but very effective which can be made with various embelisments.  Let me 
know if you are interested.

[lace] Interesting old lace designs

2009-08-05 Thread Clive and Dot

Hi Gentle Spiders,
Browsing today  I came on this site which our needle lacers might 
enjoy.  Also some interesting designs for the rest of us. The address 
was longer but I think this will take you to the beginning.

[lace] Torchon Cross Pattern

2009-06-17 Thread Clive and Dot

Dear Arachneans,

I have a request. I have a picture of a lovely torchon cross which was 
made available to Arachne members in about 2001 by a Member who had a 
web page called 'Jean's Bobbin Lace Page'  I have tried to access the 
address on the bottom of the page where I have the picture to no avail.


Is this Jean still on Arachne and will you be willing to share this  
pricking with me?


Thanking you in anticipation,

Dot Goetsch

[lace] Smoothing Bobbins

2009-04-17 Thread Clive and Dot

Hi Lesley,

I find if I wish to smooth something as fine as a bobbin,  the green 
kitchen scourer either the one on the back of a sponge or in packs of 3 
without the sponge work very well as they do not leave the scratch marks 
that sandpaper can. It also gets into the corners very well without 
damaging the profile of the turning.


Hope this helps..

[lace] Admiration

2008-05-19 Thread Clive and Dot

   Dear Spiders,

I  have been treating myself to some serious browsing this morning and 
am overcome with awe at the work of fellow Arachne members. Sue, your 
jacket is superb, the colours blend so well. Also the variations on a 
theme with the jewellery.
Lynne Cumming your groups work too lovely and Rhiannon your garter far 
to good to be thrown, and your other projects too very different and 
interesting.


Regards
