[lace] cross-post: 9-11 hearts go home
Dear tatters around the world, I have not been very active on the tatting lists lately, but I wanted to let you all know that -- thanks to the kindness of the organizers of the Rolling Requiem (www.rollingrequiem.org), the September 11th foundation, volunteers in Seattle and New York City, and many others -- the tatted hearts we made two years ago are on their way to the families of the victims. This summer we put together packets with badges that had been worn by musicians around the world, many of which came with very touching letters, and put a tatted heart inside each one. For current new articles about the distribution, please see http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/web/vortex/display?slug=requiem05&date=20030905&query=Rolling+Requiem and http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/artandlife/apother_story.asp?category=1404&slug=Sept%2E%2011%20Requiem Thanks to all of you who made hearts, Lily Morales who made the first big organizational efforts, and members of the Lacemakers of Puget Sound who helped affix each heart to a card explaining the meaning and symbolism of the heart. It has been a blessing having these tokens of love pass through my hands. Best wishes, Emma near Seattle NATA #235 p.s. please feel free to forward this message to any lists or people I may have missed __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [lace] Is Lace Declining? - Can anybody help?

Heather is right on here for my life as well. I do bobbin lace and take classes when I can, but pretty much all of my bobbin lacemaking happens in class or on the days I can manage to get to guild meetings. At home I knit or tat, because I have a three year old who tends to launch himself at me unexpectedly. Bobbin lace is a nearly impossible hobby for mothers of young children, so that's an automatic age restriction right there. Emma near Seattle __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

But it's not all that exciting a bobbin lace shop. It's great for other forms of lace, and I've made many happy (and expensive) purchases there, but I was very disappointed when early in my bobbin lacemaking career (well, I suppose it's still early since I'm still very much a beginner) I went there hoping to find pillows and books. I was unable to find any pillow other than "the horror kit," and the bobbins weren't all that exciting, either. I've done much better with my local lace supplier (Catchpin) or ordering from Snowgoose. Emma near Seattle __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

The English language just > keeps surprising me... BOTH pronunciations are correct, at least in the U.S.. Merriam-Webster gives "plate" as the primary pronunciation and "plat" as the secondary. You can hear the different pronunciations on their online dictionary entry: http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=plait I, too, have always said "plate" and only started hearing "plat" when studying with teachers from Europe. So it's one of those regional differences things. Emma, near Seattle, who learned to speak in California. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[lace] Portland, OR groups?
I know there is one, with a lace day and everything, but I can't seem to locate contact information. A new friend in the area is looking to get back into bobbin lacemaking. Anyone know who I should send her to? Thanks, Emma near Seattle __ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!

Emma, can you tell us which > pages appear to be missing from your copy? Mine is also the Dover revised paperback edition. I have pages from the start to page 190. Then I have pages 207-222, then from page 207 again, to the end of the book. So the extra 207-222 is replacing 191-206. Frustrating! I have sent Dover a message, but of course, it's the weekend.

[lace] WOW Dover publications customer service
I wrote to Dover over the weekend explaining about the missing and duplicated pages in my copy of "The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches" and they are going to replace it with an inspected copy (to be sure all the pages are there). Free of charge, no questions asked! I did buy it directly from them, so they can see in their records that I purchased a copy, but still.

[lace] tatting repair sought
Hello fellow lacers, I got the message below from someone hoping to get some old tatted pieces repaired.
