[lace] Lace Relations
Hi All! I was wondering if I could ask for some help. While at the IOLI convention, during the Teachers Exhibition, I was looking at all the different types of lace. The main thought that was going on in my mind was "How are these laces related?" I can tell the basic differences, like whether a lace was a tape lace or a point ground, but I was wondering things like which lace came first, is Princess lace a cross between Tambour and Tape? Which lace is the oldest? What is the path of lace spreading across Europe? Can anyone recommend a book(s) for me to start studying? Many Thanks!

[lace] IOLI convention
Hi All! I got back from the IOLI convention and I had the most WONDERFUL time! I kept looking around at all the stuff the RMLG (Rocky Mountain Lace Guild) were doing to keep everything running smoothly and I was really impressed! On Sunday night, they had the Pajama party. There were some super imaginative get-ups that night! I don't know her name, but there was one lady with what looked like an authentic nightgown and lace cap. SIGH!! When we checked in, we got a fancy badge holder plus a zipper tote bag. I proceeded to live out of those two items for the week. I could stick my room card and however much money I was allowing myself in the badge holder, and class books and supplies in the tote bag. Do you know that I simply locked up my purse and did not miss it at all? Considering how much stuff one would need to carry to class, it was quite a load off my shoulders! The classes that I took were really well set up and the teachers quite knowledgeable. I took Bobbin Lace with Wire from Carolyn Regnier in the morning, and got to sit in on the Lier Lace Class with Greet Rome-Verbeylen in the afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed both classes, and think I learned a lot. The arachne lunch was a blast, and it was great finally being able to put faces to e-names. I must admit, I really loved all the goodies we would get during the week. There were about four meals included in the registration fee, and my roommates and I had bought some snacks along so we did not need to waste money on meals, when we could spend it on more important things. (Like lace books and bobbins!) There were no classes on Wednesday, so we visited some of Rebecca's Colorado friends, it started raining in the afternoon, but I don't know if that interferred with the IOLI plans or not. It proceeded to rain most of the night and the next morning. But as we were doing lace, I don't think anyone minded! The grand Banquet on Friday night was a ton of fun! People were wearing all sorts of lace, either projects they completed in classes, or antique lace. More Sighing! All in all, I had a great time, and I thank the RMLG for the tons of work they put in to make the convention a success! Bless you all!

[lace] Re: [lace-chat] Bobbins, IOLI
>From the look of the 1st Anniversary bobbin, I would say that it's a Margaret >Wall bobbin. The Lace Guild could easily have ordered its bobbins from the >same maker. And...No, there is no Arachne Membership Bobbin that I've heard of. We do have a membership pin. JoAnn, are there any left? Hi All! I am out of the enamel logo pins that we had made up a couple of years back, is there any interest in me getting more? I did have a thought, how about patches? I saw a web site that does them, and they can do really involved designs with different colors. Just a thought. As for the 1st year bobbins, I did those, does anyone remember that pointy head I did on them? Margaret Wall, to my knowledge, has never done any of the bobbins that were the "official" Lace@arachne.com bobbins, but we have had others putting out their own Commeratives. I am SO glad to hear that we will have the Lacing with wire class after all, at the IOLI convention, I was just about to cry when I heard it might be cancelled. I am going to try to be the best student I can, so the teacher does not regret comming! Pure joyful sigh! JoAnne Pruitt P.S. Pat Hallam is going to bring the rest of her Commeratives for this year, so if you do want some and are comming, you will have a chance. I will also be bringing ALL commeratives from previous years, so you can look those over and fill in missing items. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] I got my class!
Hi All! I got my notice yesterday, and I got my lacing with wire class! I was so thrilled, because I sent in my form late. WHOO HOO! I've wanted to work with wire for a long time now, even more since I saw that wire piece in the last IOLI newsletter! Sigh! Other good news, I am writing this from a laptop! My DH got us a laptop because we are going on vacation to Kentucky next week. As soon as we get there, he and his friend are going to Detroit for a few days, and I get to stay in Kentucky (with the kids) and work with SIL to scan family photos. We thought it would be a good idea to have copies of these photos, and we want to make a set for each sibling. So I had just taken some classes in computer and working with Photoshop just to be able to handle this! I think this is going to be great, because with the kids at home during the summer, this is the only way I can get online to check my mail! Sipping coffee, and readin' email!

[lace] Commemorative bobbins
Hi everyone! Once again it is time for the Lace@arachne.com Commemoratives! Every year we have bobbins, shuttles and other items made up to commemorate the anniversary of Lace@arachne.com coming on to the web. This year the vendor who is supplying us with really lovely stuff is Roseground. Here is a little about them: Roseground was founded in 1999 to offer a comprehensive service to lacemakers and tatters based on a thorough understanding of their needs. Now a leading supplier of tatting and lacemaking supplies, it serves its customers around the world by mail order and its attendance of lace events. It uses its experience and knowledge to seek out the latest and the best for the benefit of its many customers-they know that there is always something new and exciting at Roseground~a true Lacemaker to Lacemaker service. Roseground is owned and operated by Pat Hallam and her daughter Pam Sharples. Pat is a familiar face around the many lacemaking events around the UK and she has traveled regularly and extensively to teach and seek out lacemaking throughout the world. She brings over 30 years of lacemaking experience for the benefit of Roseground's customers. Pam joined Roseground early in 2004 with the responsibility of all aspects of the newly acquired bobbin business. She learned lacemaking at a young age from her mother and enjoys meeting an serving her lacemaking customers. This year Roseground will be offering East Midlands in wood and bone, Honitons and Contintals. They will also be offering spangles to go with the bobbins. Check their stuff out at www.roseground.com. Along with these items, we will be offering tatting shuttles, cover cloths, bobbin rolls, and sissor holder. Also we will offer divider pins, turned handle items (Prickers, Lazy Susans, and Latch hooks) Hope you enjoy and find something you like! I am still waiting to hear about contact people from the other countries, and the second I do, I will post that info to you all. In the meantime, you can either order directly from Roseground, if all you need are the bobbins. Pam said that they can take Paypal, as long as the amount is tranlated into GB Pounds, and you can ask if they will take your credit card. If you want any of the other items, you can send the order on to me. We just want to make sure that this year goes smoothly. I can take Paypal and checks. I will send the price lists, like usual, out by country. All you need to do is download your own county, and delete the others. Bless you!

The vendor of the commeratives this year is Roseground bobbins, owned by Pat Hallam and her daughter Pam Sharples.

I am working on the pricing sheets for the various countries, can I put out the word for people to act as contact people? Pam told me that anyone who wants to just order their bobbins, you can order directly from them. We think this will work out to make sure that orders go as quickly as possible. If you write them, they can tell you which methods of payment they will be taking. As in other years, we will also be offering the Divider pins, cover cloths, bobbin rolls, tatting shuttles, and sissor holders. If your order includes any of those items, you can order thru me, or the contact people. I'm getting everything typed up, and will hopefully get it on the list tomorrow. Bless you all!

Re: [lace] Stacking Bobbins
Hi all! I've been reading the letters about stacking bobbins. When I did my big Bucks piece, I was working with 500+ bobbins. I was using anything I could wrap thread around! For stacking them, I had some pieces of leftover countertop material. It was thin, strong, and I could cut it easily on my bandsaw. I cut pieces 2x5 inches, and some 2x2 1/2 inches. I lined all the pieces up, and drilled a small hole on each end, so I could run a long divider pin down the pieces while they where stacked. Then I covered them with felt, (since then, it was recommended to me to use white felt, so any loose threads that work in match.) The bobbins stacked nicely, and I had room to work! For traveling, I would pin cover cloths over the stacks of bobbins, and pin, pin, pin! It worked great for me. Thanks!

Hi all! I do have a few bobbins whos' spangles have a lot of meaning for me. One pair has the beads from a pair of earrings my daughter gave me, but I lost the backs. I also have a handful of bobbins who's main beads are from a string of worry beads a teacher gave me WAAAYY back in high school. BTW, my DH did do more work on the website for the commeratives, so there are more of the items available to look at. Thanks!

Hi all! It's time for the 2004 Arachne Commeratives! We have some really lovely stuff this year, and I know that you all will flip when you see the goodies! Our Vendor for this year is Chris Smythe, and you can check out his site at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This year we get a choice of wood or bone bobbins! There are photos on my web site to check out, along with photos of the other items! My web site is: member.aol.com/jspruitt/index.htmWe are still getting everything on the site, but we do have Chris's bobbins loaded, so you can see how great they are! The new item of the year are polo shirts from Lori Howe, they are available in Navy, and in sizes Small to 4XL. She is offering her cover cloths again, the ones with the machine embroidery, and they are available in Navy. You can see them at: http://lace.lacefairy.com/Embroidered/ArachneEmb.jpg These are in addtion to the regularly offered cover cloths, bobbin rolls and sissors cases, plus all the other goodies. Well, here we go! ORDERING INFO FOR USA PEOPLE: Listed below are the items available, and their prices. Choose what you want, and fill out the mailing info. If you e-mail me, to either reserve a previous year item, or ask for any info, I still need your name, address and what you order along with the payment. If you send me a list of things by email, and then just send me the check, I have a hard time putting the check with the order. Please have mercy on me and include what you want with the check. I do have a selection of items left from last year, so if you missed out, you can still get stuff! FOR COUNTIRES OUTSIDE THE USA: PLEASE READ!! When I made out the lists in previous years, I would convert all the prices to the currency of the different countries. I was trying to make things easier by giving the prices that way. The problem is, the rate changes changed so much, some people were having to pay more than they should have. So if it is ok with you all, I am going to post the prices only in the US currency, and if you could take your amount, and run it through a currency converter, you can make sure that you only have to pay the amount needed, and not get caught by the exchange rate pulling a fast one. Check the price list and see who is your contact person. Send them the money, along with the order. They can forward your order to me, and I will fill it out and mail it directly to you. THE DEADLINE FOR ORDERING BY CONTACT PEOPLE IS JULY 30TH.After July 30th, you will need to contact me directly to order. BLESS YOU!!!

[lace] 2004 commeratives
Hi all! I'm going to post the info for the commeratives, and I just wanted to give you all a heads up. My DH and I are still working on getting everything on my web site, but I do have photos of the bobbins there for all to see. They are cool. There is one thing I want to tell everyone. We want to try something new and I hope it works for everyone. When I would post prices before, I would convert the currencies, and that would be the price for the season. Well, last year some people ended up having to pay more than they should, because the currency changed so much between the US and their country by the summers' end. So would it be ok if I just post the prices in US currency? Then when you fill out your order, you run it thru a currency converter, and that way you make sure you only have to pay what you should. I don't want to make extra work for everyone, but I also want the prices to be fair. Hope you all don't mind, if there is a problem please buzz me, and we can get it fixed. Thanks!

Hi all! Thanks for your well wishes and congrats on my finished project! Yes, I will be putting a photo of it on my web page, it's time to update it for the commeratives anyway! I have already started two new projects. My first is a simple yardage lace, I gotta use up 500+ bobbins with various amounts of thread on them, and I can't stand the thought of just throwing it out, or spending that much time unwinding them! Second, my friend Rebecca and I are doing a joint project. We are hand spinning fiber to make shawls. Rebecca is going to lace knit hers, and my will be done in bobbin lace. We want to see how the pattern adapts to the two different kinds of lacemaking. This should keep the both of us out of trouble for awhile. But don't bet on it! !

What I need to get info for, is: Once I am done, what is the BEST way to finish a project? I really want this to look good, once I get it done. I also want to enter this in the Iowa State Fair next summer, so does anyone know, can I frame it, or do are there rules that the judges have to be able to pick up a piece and look at the back of it? If I can frame it, should I have the piece attached to the material, or would it be better to let the framer do that? Can I have glass in the frame? My thoughts were to wash it, block it, and then stretch dark blue or black silk on a frame, and stitch the lace to that. Then I would take it to the framer and let them do the rest. Please, any help would be wonderful! Thanks !
