[lace] Hiatus

[Maxine Diffey]

I too have had to stop making lace for 18 months or so. two weddings and
two hardanger tablecloths later, I can almost see my way clear to start
again. I finished the last cloth last Friday night, and I am very
pleased with it :-)  now to go back to the remnant of a class on Honiton
from Sept 2004 - I only have one pillow (as yet) so I have to finish it
to start something else. 
 
 As for needle work projects, I have many WIPs (Works in Progress) -
adds variety to life, although I am trying to be more disciplined in
that too.
 
Happy lacing
Maxine

getting a good start, with good snow on the mountains.

What wonderful eye-candy. it begs the question, how did they ever make
it without strong lights and magnifiers??
 
Does give us something to aim at though :-)

[lace] Sewing Machines

[Maxine Diffey]

This is a fascinating thread..
 
My Mother had a singer treadle sewing machine, a jubilee model, which
she was able to put a motor on in the late 1950's, and it too had
(separately purchased) buttonhole attachment, which from memory moved
the fabric, not the needle.
 
My first sewing machine was a second-hand Elna, purchased from a friend,
who bought it off her mother.  It was the second model of the Elna
cam-type domestic sewing machines, and was a real work horse.  It was by
that time over 25 years old, and still going strong having sewn for a
family of four girls, and made canvas horse covers and sails!!.  It had
a knee controlled accelerator and did all sorts of stitches using a
swing needle technique.  
 
I replaced it with one of the last cam-driven Elna's in 1980 or
there-abouts.  My "new" one is also going strong having clothed myself
and my family for the past 25 years or so.. Now it is down to repairs
more than anything, but I still enjoy it and have, in the past five
years made a couple of quilts using it.  Never again, I don't like
patchwork/quilting, give me lace anyday!!
 
Regards
Maxine from New Zealand

Greetings,
Some time ago there was a thread on Shetland Island lace knitting
history, and I recall going onto a website with some exquisite photos on
it. can anyone recall the site?  I did not bookmark it, and I want to go
back there but cannot find it, even with google.  You folk are better
than google when it comes to things like this.:-)
 
Thanks in advance.

[Maxine Diffey]

My apologies to all that this is a rather belated thank you for your
help re substitution of thread for a lace workshop.  I went to a work
conference immediately after I posted the message, and did not get back
until the middle of last week

I have just attended the workshop, and must admit that I am rather
pleased with my efforts and what I managed to complete :-)

Thanks again for being such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable group, and
so enthusiastic in sharing that knowledge.

[lace] I got a Bargain

[Maxine Diffey]

Good Morning Gentle Spiders,

I recently succumbed to temptation and joined Trade Me – a Kiwi auction
site, and bought three sets of Dryad lace making patterns, starting at
the very beginning with Torchon, then a set of Beds, and then a set of
Bucks, with a potted history of each technique included - they are in
pristine condition, i.e. brand new, and only one envelope had been
opened.  They cost me a grand total of NZ$ 5.50 - $US3.68, or 1.92 Brit.
Pound.  I am thrilled with them, in particular the second two sets,
being a novice!

[lace] What am I doing?

[Maxine Diffey]

I normally lurk with just the occasional message, and I know I am very
late with this thread, but as the list is so quiet, I thought I would
chip in.

I was given some lace knitting wool some 18 months ago by my DS and DIL,
and I have finally "had a go" - well, many 'goes', but I am finally up
and running! 

 I am using 3.5 mm needles with two ply wool in variegated colours!  It
has been a very steep learning curve as I could not "see where I was
going" as far as the pattern went, but gradually it has worked out after
6 or 7 attempts.  It says something for the quality of the wool that it
did not go 'fuzzy' as I pulled it undone and restarted so many times!

I do enjoy knitting, and also a challenging pattern is appreciated, but
this one has tested my patience!  I don't think the resultant scarf will
be given away after all the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into
it so far!

Maxine from a wet New Zealand!  Not that I am complaining as things had
got quite dry here, and it saves me having to water the garden!!

[Maxine Diffey]

Greetings all,

I was sleeping, if I am working out the time difference correctly….  I
did get some lace made yesterday (Wednesday) morning, I am working on
the rocking horse designed by Janice Blair – with some original bits
added in to ‘fudge’ some errors in the harness……..  Now it’s back to the
drudge of housework and work later in the morning, when the car comes
home from being repaired.

Happy lacing

I don't like to send this to the list, but I seem to have hit a blank when
it comes to the card exchange.
I sent an email to Alice (off list) when the exchange was first being

anything.  I was very conscientious and have made a piece of lace that I

I though some on the list may be interested in this auction - the seller

[lace] NZ Earthquake

[Maxine Diffey]

To let you know that Erica is on the West Coast of the South Island as far
as I know, and although she would have felt the jolt, there was no damage
reported from over there. There are lacemakers in Christchurch, but I have
no knowledge of how they have fared.  Thankfully there have been no
fatalities, but a couple of people have had serious injuries, and there was
an increase in hospital admissions for chest pain on Saturday.

The city is severely damaged and will be years in the recovery - a lot of
our heritage buildings have been destroyed. :-(

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers

[lace] Wearing lace

[Maxine Diffey]

I have several low necked T shirts, so I made an edging in Gutermann sewing
machine thread if I remember correctly, and stitched it onto a piece of
fabric was darted at the sides  and had elastic across the back, so it sat
over my bust (which is 'well defined'), and gave me some modesty!!  It has
been well worn and washed in the machine.

The pattern is Dotty (pg 93) in the book Torchon Lace for Today  by Jennifer
Fisher.

[lace] Farmer John

[Maxine Diffey]

Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway west of Lossiemouth.As time went
by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate.The traffic got so heavy
and so fast that his free range chickens were being run over at a rate of
three to six a day.  


ATT0ATT0ATT0

So this particular day Farmer John called the local police station and to
complain, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so
fast and killing all of my chickens." 

ATT0ATT0ATT0ATT0


"What do you want me to do?" asked the policeman. 
"I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!" 
So the next day the policeman had the Main Road 's Workers 
Go out and erected a sign that said: 

  

   SLOW: 
SCHOOL CROSSING 


ATT0ATT0ATT0ATT0

Three days later Farmer John called the policeman and said, "You've still
got to do something about these drivers. The 'school Crossing sign seems to
make them go even faster!" 
So, again, the policeman sends out the Main Roads workers' And they put up a
new sign:


 

SLOW: 
CHILDREN AT PLAY 


ATT0ATT0ATT0

That really sped them up. So Farmer John called and called and called every
day for three weeks. Finally, he said to the policeman 

"Your signs are doing no Good. Can I put up my own sign?" 


The policeman said, 

"Sure thing, put up your own sign.." 


He was going to let Farmer John do just about anything
In order to get him off his back. 


ATT0ATT0ATT0ATT0

The cop got no more calls from Farmer John.  


Three weeks later, curiosity got the better of the copper
And he decided to give Farmer John a call. 

" How's the 
Problem with those drivers. Did you put up your sign?" 


"Oh, I sure did," replied Farmer John, "and not one chicken 
Has been killed since then. I've got to go. I'm very busy.." 


He hung up the phone. 


The policeman was really curious now and he thought to himself, 


"I'd better go out there and take a look at that sign . it might
Be something that WE could use to slow down drivers..." 

  


ATT0ATT0ATT0ATT0

  So he drove out to John's farm house, 

His jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign. 

ATT0ATT0ATT0ATT0


It was spray painted on a sheet of plywood 


  NUDIST COLONY Slowdown and watch  out for chicks! 

 ATT0ATT0   

 

Keep Smiling

[lace] does anyone know

[Maxine Diffey]

Does anyone know what this is?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=490892225

It is described as : a type of lacemaking made with Thesa Forms, from early 
last century. 

 I am interested if this is still a craft that is practised today – there are 
five photographs with the listing.

[lace] Status of Sr Claire and Thanksgiving

[Maxine Diffey]

Sister Claire is safe, but her health is such that she has had to leave

hence why I know she is safe.
