Those of us who have been on the Lace list a bit longer will remember this delightfull U tube video . I did not look it up, but the thread may still be in the Arachne archives The children in this video, as Anneke has told us, are the anthousiastic Lacemaking pyjama clad grand children of Anneke Reijs of the province of Limburg in the Netherlands. For those a bit newer to the list I wish to add, that Anneke, is a student and friend of sister Judith de Kreijger from the Netherlands . Sr. Judith developed the Withof laces.(Withof is the Name of Sr. Judith's convent ) Anneke did a superb job of documenting Sr. Judith's work in three Manuals of Sluis Withof and Duchesse Laces These manuals may still be available for anyone interested in them. As that Anneke is on the Arachne Lace list, she herself will answer those who may express an interested in purchasing the manuals . The Lace group I am a member of were privileged to have Anneke visit with us on the monthly Laceday on several occasions. Hendrika Memb.

[lace] Lace needle Lace Pillow
-A friend who is a superb needlelacer but is not on the Lace list send me the following -e-mail . I obtained a used copy of a book on needle lace, a great book by Nenia Livesay. Needle lace used to be worked on a needle lace pillow so you can use both hands and the author recommends using one. I have to hold it with one hand. There is a picutre in this old book. I have searched for one, have looked on the Lacis website and have not found any such thing. It is different than a bobbin lace pillow. Have you ever heard of a needlelace pillow in your years of doing lace? If I can't find such a thing, I may try to make one up to see if it helps when I start another project. -Replies to forward to my friend will be appreciated -Thanks in advance Hendrika van Kooten Simcoe County Lacemakers Township of Springwater Ontario, Canada - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Hi Agnes , Thank you for your friendly groetjes the Simcoe county Lacemakers have two members of Dutch origin ( I am the older one ! ) the younger one is Johanna who hails from Overijsel Another Lacemaker of Dutch origin is on our mailing list but does not attend Lacedays I was born in Bilthoven ( gemeente de Bilt ) emigrated to Canada in 1951 with my family. In the beginning after emigration my parents kept contact with other families who had emigrated from deBilt - Bilthoven resulting in my marriage to someone who used to live across the street from me in Bilthoven I knew about Lacemakeing from a neighbor lady who was Belgian , but did not take up the art until about 25 yrs ago here in Canada.

[lace] Dancing bobbinlacers on You Tube
After seeing the grand's of Anneke Reijs doing the Bobbinlace pajama dance on You tube I decided to share a little lace story with the list For 11 years I attended International Lacecamp on Manitoulin Island Canada ,which is a good six hours + drive from where I live ( or alteratively four hours driving and two on a ferryboat ) In 2002 Several Lacemakers who also regularly attend International Lacecamp, and who live within a reasonable distance from myself, decided to get together for Lacemaking ,other than once a year at International Lacecamp ,this resulted in the formation of the Simcoe County Lacemakers,and therefor I sign off my Arachne postings Member of Simcoe County Lacemakers Simcoe County township of Springwater Canada In 2006 an e-mail arrived from Anneke Reijs who lives in the province of Limburg in the Nethelands, inquiring if I lived near a town where she and her DH intended to spend the summer, which we do. Soon more e-mails were exchanged and when Anneke and her husb.came to spend the summer in Simcoe County we enjoyed a most pleasant visit, Anneke is a student and friend of sister Judith de Kreijger and the author of the Sluis Withof Duchesse Lace Manuals, b.t.w. Anneke's DH told methat in the days Anneke was writing the manuals she spend so much time wtth sister Judith for to gather material for the manuals, he began to wonder if Anneke had entered the convent. g It is of note that Sister Judith celebrated her 92 nd birthday in 2007 Anneke's webpage and information on the Sluis Withof Duchesse manuals can be found at http://www.lokk.nl click on links andWebsites van LOKK kringen / Leden While vacationing in Ontario Canada in 2006, Anneke attended the Simcoe County Lacemakers Laceday and gave a very informative talk on Sluis Withof Duchese Laces ,and in 2007 while in Canada,she attended another Simcoe County Lacemakers Laceday , held to celebrate the 5th anneversary of the Simcoe County Lacemakers . How nice that being on Arachne has woven a web of friendship between Anneke Reijs in the Netherlands and the Simcoe County Lacemakers in Ontario Canada Hoping to see you at Laceday again Anneke, meanwhile whenever possible, keep those grandchildren , bobbinlacing and dancing .

[lace] OIDFA cancellation
Tamara Cancellation, Whoa there Tamara , I read your cancelation posting, are you sure you are not a bit hasty in cancelling . I mostly lurk, but could not help going to the keyboard to tell you ( and I suppose that goes for others faced with full house notices, as well ) that here are more hotels in Groningen than the ones listed ,in the IODFA registration packet,not to mention BB's ( there is even a BB in a windmill in Groningen ! )and guest houses ( pensions ) cottages etc,etc. just click in on all these options and surf and surf and surf and you will find something When some of the Simcoe County Lacemakers could not afford the Hotel fee's in Montreal we found more affordable accommodation by surfing For the other hotels in Groningen, you can get information and bookings sometimes better prices, on line in many many languages , including Polish b.t.w. Groningen tourist information may also be a good resource. I so dearly wish I could go, as my aunt of about my age , whom I attended high school with, and a number of cousins live in a suburb of Groningen Jo is correct to tell you distances are quite different in the Netherlands than in North America e.g. the next largest city near Groningen is the city of Leeuwarden ,for North American idea's, only a hop skip and a jump, 58 km. to be exact, from Groningen with good public transportation Understandable finances are a very large consideration ,however i.m.h.o. in your haste to cancel you may possibly not have explored all your options and miss, what promises to be a great European Lace experience .

[lace] Lace Buttons
Inquiry Recently I spoke to a gentleman about an matter unrelated to Lace ( actually it pertained to woodturning ) this gentleman mentioned that his wife was a Button Collector. I mentioned that the public very likely viewed the Hobby of button collecting as unusual as Lacemaking. As a follow up, the Lady collector send me the following information ; The button collecting Club began in 1960 and is a very friendly group of ladies in the 50 plus age range right up to 91. Buttons are art in miniature, signposts to the evolution of fashion and society and I really enjoy learning of their history, and those who manufactured them. It's a great hobby. Now the button collector , who mentioned that she is familiar with crochet buttons ,and myself are rather curious if there are, or if anyone has ever heard of, Lace buttons ?

I show this postcard to people whenever the topic of Lacemaking comes up,for to give them an idea what Lacemaking is about. I also carry a bobbin in my purse,for folks to touch and handle, especially children .

[lace] Self directed Learning
Hello The little lace group I am a member of is open to visitors on our monthly Lace day, and it especially pleases us to welcome those who are interested in learning bobbin lace . We have a give a try pillow with bobbins wound with thread handy for those wishing to try their hand at their first C T C 's When new folks are really interested, the conversation invariably turns to what instruction publications and or book ( s ) we would recommend for self directed learning ( no teachers in our area ! ) we advise them to the best of our ability Leafing through the book catalogues is rather undauting for a beginner and we as a small lace group are not always familiar with the wide array of books and publications out there.

Hello Spiders I finally looked up the word dowager in my English-Dutch dictionary, it only gave a French word, so I turned to the French-Dutch dictinary. It said something like widow of respectable family or something like that. . Jo Falkink Jo, This may not be of great interest to others on the list but the word for Dowager in the Language of the Netherlands is , Douairière and widow of respectable family appears to be a respectable simple short interpretation / explanation.
