Re: [lace] "Continental Lace Bobbins" (Lace Bobbins of the world?)

Hi Brian,

I do have quite a large collection of bobbins and many old/antique
continentals and Honitons too. Since I am preparing to move house (although
I haven't found a new one yet but have sold this one), I will soon be
packing these and will be happy to let you have any photos you need while I
am in the process, if you want to give me further details.
I will definitely need a few more weeks though as my daughter is getting
married tomorrow week and I am right in the swing of finishing wedding
lace, flowers, favour etc. Once the wedding is over, I am expecting to be
exhausted for a while till I come down off my adrenaline high..it
always happens to me after a big job!

[lace] "Continental Lace Bobbins" (Lace Bobbins of the world?)

2017-05-25 Thread Brian Lemin
Hello again spiders,

 

At the time of the preparation for writing the Guide and Dictionary, I also
mentioned my digital (and actual) collection of what I am calling my
"Continental Bobbin Collection".  As I am  poorly educated in this area of
bobbins I asked for a volunteer who may sort or classify them into
countries, then we could put them on the net (hopefully) 

 

In fact I have them already sorted into countries to my level of knowledge,
but I am sure there are E and O.

 

There was one person who did volunteer, but because of the volume of work
that the  above web publications involved, I must clearly have ignored them
(for which I apologise)

 

If someone is interested in this project, I will happily send them my
current resources on a USB and if a worthwhile collection for sharing;
knowledge/education comes about, then I will happily try and get it up on
the web.  Frankly I do not want my name on any such outcome, so it will be
all "yours" !

 

BTW Arachne members have indeed contributed over the years to this
collection.  Many thanks to them.  I would like their generosity
acknowledged by a web publication if we can.

 

With special apologies to the original volunteer.

 

Brian
