[lace] Lace Guild Magazine - Christine Johnson
Dear Spiders, My Lace Guild magazine arrived yesterday and I was over the moon to see the pattern and working diagram of Christine Johnson's Medieval Garden and for which Christine was awarded the John Bull Trophy for 'lace by a lacemaker who is not a teacher'. I just had to write to thank Christine, who I think is a member of Arachne - she will not know me, I am generally a 'Lurker' but I felt compelled to write to Christine for being so generous in submitting this pattern to the magazine and the time spent originally working out a coloured diagram of the technical drawing. I first saw the photo of the finished lace on the back of issue Number 151 and just 'drooled' over it and wished it was a pattern available to us. Well my wish came true as here it is, looking absolutely beautiful again in the current issue. I have been floundering a bit for the past five or six months due to some sad family circumstances and doing a little bits on pieces already on the go but none of them seem to pull me in to get enthusiastic again. All I keep saying to my friends is that I need 'inspiring' but had no idea what to do, that is until I opened the Lace Magazine yesterday and Woo Hoo! I cannot possibly do any justice to your amazing piece Christine but you have spurred me on and at last I have found my 'get-up-and-go' and diving into my cupboard for a spare pillow, bobbins and thread!! I cannot wait to get started J I guess this is also giving advance warning to Jacquie Tinch, our lace tutor just what I will be turning up with in class - she is probably turning a nice shade of puce at the thought - only joking Jacquie, she relishes a challenge! That's it and all that is left is to say once again a huge thanks to Christine for unknowingly lifting my spirits.

[lace] The Knipplebrevet Magazine
Dear Spiders, Would any of you kind folk be able to put me in touch with someone who can help me subscribe to the Knipplebrevet magazine please? I am currently working a lovely torchon Christmas table runner from the November 2006 edition and thoroughly enjoying it and because there are some other interesting pieces in this same edition I would like to get it on a regular basis. Unfortunately I am missing the editorial page which would probably have given me some of the details I need. Thank you very much for your time and help :-) Jill In Redhill, Surrey in the UK, having done all the work I am going to do for today and get back to my table runner! - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] FW: The Kantcentrum is Safe :-)))
Hello everyone, I have just received an email from the organiser of our yearly trip to Brugge, who is also a good friend of Anne-Marie and she says that she has just got off the phone from Anne-Marie this morning who wanted to pass on the good news: THE KANTCENTRUM IS SAFE Thank you all for filling in the petition and passing details on to others of our persuasion. There are 3 new directors. the magazine will be published but in a new format to include advertising, and Anne-Marie and all her girls are dancing around like a dog with 2 tails. Of course there are other details, like having to move into the old school building in Ballestraat whilst the main building is renovated and decorated. Also there are plans for an on-line shop. I am sure that there is a lot more, but these are the main details. I have been asked to thank you from Anne-Marie, in fact she said BIG THANKS, so now I have duly passed on the message. Also Anne-Marie mentioned that the previous director 'Dumon' is no longer involved. Please feel free to pass this on to anyone you know who will be interested - good news always travels fast :- ). Our group, Mole Valley Lacemakers, went to the Beguinage in October since the English Convent closed the guest house side of things and it was absolutely great :- )) Now to hear the Kantcentrum is safe just feels wonderful.

RE: [lace] RE:Seven Competition Visitors Award
Well I really must come out of 'Lurk Dom' after Jacquie's lovely email which started this string of emails to show my appreciation of the very kind words about my piece of lace that I have been receiving as a result of her email. With special thanks to Jacquie and Claire for their support during the time it took to make it. Having entered this competition a few times now, I honestly feel the best bit about it is that it is stops being 'my' piece of lace but it becomes more of a 'group' piece with everyone in our classes feeling involved having seen the work evolving and with their offers of encouragement and tips. I am very fortunate in having such great teachers and such good friends within our lace-making family.

FW: [lace] Only the Lonely Needlelace theory
Oh Liz, a girl after my own heart! Yes, no matter how many pieces of lace we may have on the go, we always seem to find a new piece we would like to try - perhaps in a new book we have brought or often inspired by what we see others tackling. It is the enthusiasm and the endless options of what we can do that are so stimulating with lace. In fact, I saw a piece of lace being made at a course I was on last week and would love to do. Yes, you and Patty are right, and there is a piece of Milanese lace that is three-quarters done and that would free up the pillow and enough bobbins that I would need for the new piece.. ..hmm, must go and find the pricking card and the pattern...!! Moving onto the subject of the Needlelace, I am just in awe of how the 'old lace' was made, especially those pieces with thread that is barely visible to the eye. Considering the speed with which much of the lace had to be made, in terms of lacemaking being a trade back then, the quality is incredible. We are so lucky to be able to spend time perfecting (I say that loosely in my case!)our lace and we now have so many, many different threads etc to be able to try different techniques.

Then I would have pillows for starting other projects - there is Always something Urgent coming along, that just Has to be started immediately :)) Alice, I really don't know if modern needlelace is better than the old lace - but I think the Overall Effect is really what it is all about. The Old lace was SO fine, that I really don't know how they made it!! Errors, and inconsistancies show up more in the modern, coarser lace - I can tell you that!!! :) Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, where my mini daffodils have just come out into bloom - the little darlings!!! :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [lace] Only the Lonely
Hi Patty and all :-) Great idea to come out to play on Arachne:-) I have been a lurker for ages due to very long and unsociable working hours but as of three weeks ago, I gave up my job (yippee) and I aim to try and finish a few pieces of lace that have been on the go for some time - years in fact. This new found freedom is really exciting and I have started getting all my pillows out to remind myself what I need to do Well, what a shock, I had not realised what I had ..4 pieces of Milanese,1 piece of Paris Ground, 4 pieces of Binche, 1 piece of Flanders and 1 piece of Torchon I think that is it but I have not made it to the back of my (large!) cupboard to see if there are anymore in there!! I am guilty that every time my friends and I went on a lace course, I never had a free pillow, there was always something on the go that I did not want to cut off, so I would buy another pillow!!! Vbg That all has to stop now of course and I need to finish something. The thing is, what to chose first :0) I am going to enjoy this but sadly, I must remember that I have to find another job, albeit one which allows me to have a little bit of a life to do my lace etc. Isn't lace just the best thing to get involved with :-) Best wishes Jill From just outside Redhill in Surrey in the UK - where a storm is brewing right now so hopefully we will all be able to get a night's sleep after all these weeks of soaring temperatures (I love the sun but this is just a little bit too much). - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
