[lace] Split into lace-chat and arachne
Bev, I wouldnât call it quality control! Both lists are valuable as filters. Having all these lace-making friends and not having friendly chatter need to be banned because it clogged up the list ...which mattered even more when we all had email limits, either on quantity or how much our 300-baud modems could download meant we could build the interpersonal bonds freely. So I go to lace for technical things, and lace-chat to hang outand this was the first group I used electronic platforms to hang out on. FaceBook did not exist yet. -- Martha Krieg (Michigan) - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] On Arachne since 1996
I cannot recall just when I joined, but it has been a very long time! Probably 1990s. And like Nancy I did not trust online storage. Still donât in fact...thatâs why I keep,so,many backups! -- Martha Krieg (Michigan) - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] We are all welcome
Marianne, you are welcome here; all of us are. It is easy to forget to trim, and I got a reminder, too! Try digest mode for a while and it will become clearer to you why it matters.

Re: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s
Also, Spring Fling happened annually for many years, then every other year for many more. Last year was the kast full-fledged version, however.

Re: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s
You will find Mary McPeek who was influential together with Trenna Ruffner in getting Les Dentelles aux Fuseaux published with her English translation. GLLGI recently published a compilation of Mary McPeekâs lesson plans and prickings together with photographs of the pieces worked. Mary taught for many years and her students and grandstudents carry on.
