[lace] Anna magazine, and lace content
Hi, all, I may have missed a discussion on the new Anna. Many of us were extremely disappointed when the German Anna magazine ceased publication about three years ago. I have some 30 years worth of issues (mostly the English editions) and have probably used it more than - or at least as much as - any of my other subscriptions. We were promised a replacement, and I belatedly realise that this has actually happened. Over the holidays I came across not just one, but two magazines called Anna. Totally different, although from the same publishing consortia, Vikant Publishing and Burda. One is published in German, and is very similar in look, coverage and layout to the original magazine. It continues to have a nice, European feel, and has undergone some updating to make it even more appealing. It also looks like they`re continuing to publish special issues too - there`s one advertised for spitzen hakeln (crochet). The second one is in English, published in the USA, with a similar masthead. However, it is by no means the same magazine. Fewer patterns, a glossier layout and seems more in keeping with other English language publications. I liked the look of some of the embroidery patterns and ornaments, including some very cute felted ones, but I have to say the knitted sweater patterns left me cold and overall the patterns probably require less proficiency at that particular craft. It`s hard to compare the two - the German one continues to be published monthly, and the website for the American edition states 5 issues per year. There was no overlap in content between the two issues I have, but there wasn`t necessarily meant to be. As for subscribing, if I was going to add anything to my list (and that I'm not sure about), it would be the German one. Much more to my interest, and more for the money overall. I read enough German to get by, but would be delighted if this was published in English again. Who knows why they thought they needed a different magazine for the American market; I wish they`d simply kept on with translating the German edition into English. And, saving the best for last - there`s bobbin lace in the November 2008 German edition! - a nativity scene designed within a shooting star shape. It looks to be simple tape lace, and is quite stunning in appearance, although reasonably ambitious at almost 60 cm in width. Pricking provided and I`m sure experienced lacemakers could work it out even without being able to read German. Here`s the link for the US edition: http://www.annacrafts.com/Resources/AboutANNA/tabid/55/Default.aspx As for the German Anna, I didn`t find a website, or anything specific on the Verlag or Burda sites (although I may have missed something scrolling through the pages) and there was no mention of one in the magazine.

I am copying this to Anna, and I'll let you know what feedback I get. However, for me here in the UK it looks as if we are still going to have to go without. I can't see the newsagents stocking a German language magazine. Once the US issue gets going, if they really do have more challenging projects and especially if they regularly have either bobbin lace or fine needlework such as Schawlm embroidery, I might ask the shop where I buy my American 'Art Jewelry' if they can get it for me.

Hi Spiders: I can't see the newsagents stocking a German language magazine It doesn't hurt to check - I was surprised to discover that my local magazine store now carries all the Burda magazines in German (Anna, Verena, Burda, Sandra ...) as well as other German needlework/sewing magazines, Hogar (Spanish), another Spanish one, and a couple of Italian magazines. They didn't use to, but they seem to have branched out. Julie, I wonder if the same distributor we have down here handles the Yukon? Because if McNews in North Vancouver can get these magazines, maybe some place in Whitehorse can, too.

Re: [lace] Anna magazine, and lace content
Dear Jacquie and Julie and Others Interested, First, there is so much on the magazine stands, that I wonder why anyone complains. Surely, there is something just right for each level of expertise. A membership to a Guild might be more satisfying, and provide more additional benefits to you. If we don't support the Guild's, they will die. Most of our teachers are as a result of the Guilds and the programs they provide to develop expertise. Most of our instructional books are from these teachers. As to the letters from Jacquie and Julie: If there is much common interest, we need to find the faithful Anna and Burda readers and subscribers. If a German publisher received a lot of comments from the U.K./U.S./Canada (and European countries where English is a 2nd language, but German is not the needleworker's 2nd language), the comments might push them to think about all English language needleworkers in a different way. Then, they might stock the U.K./U.S./Canada and other countries with a more comprehensive English-language magazine and shut down the *kindergarten fare* you say is published in America and distributed on this side of the big pond only. One magazine that fits all English-reading needleworkers makes sense. Devoting 4 to 8 pages per issue to beginners might be all that is needed, and would reduce publishing costs. BUT - what we have to be mindful of is the high cost of shipping and distribution. One lovely 66-pg. magazine published 6 times a year by The Embroiderers' Guild (England), Stitch, which I buy at Barnes Noble, costs $9.99. I think the high price is in response to high shipping costs imposed since 9/11. This is in addition to the regular members' 66-pg. bulletin Embroidery from The Embroiderers' Guild (England), which costs $82.12/yr. for 6 issues, and is mailed to me in the U.S. Once you have some sort of explanation from Germany, you could ask needleworkers that bought Anna or Burda magazines in the past to write to the publisher. We'd like a *specific person to write to* - someone in a decision-making capacity at the publishing company is preferred, because they should want to protect the reputation of the Anna/Burda brands. They are most probably making decisions based on sales, not on what you want and cannot get from them (so you do not buy). There needs to be balance - and feedback to the publisher. Writers would best express themselves if they read at least one of the unsatisfactory magazines, instead of using a form letter or quoting Arachne correspondence. Arachnes - if we want good publications, it is important to gain the interest of many more needleworkers who will buy such magazines. In the meantime, please don't skip membership in our Guilds which offer so much from generous volunteers, teachers, and authors. No one is getting wealthy doing needlework, and that is one of the problems in 2009. Demonstrate! Give talks! Set up exhibits! Wear handmade lace in public places!

Just today I received the e-newsletter from Lacis in California. It contained the following info NEW in the SHOP Earlier this year, the premier German magazine ANNA announced that they would no longer continue in print. This set off a wave of dismay among needleworkers everywhere, who lamented the loss of fine patterns and lessons in a variety of needle arts, including Hardanger embroidery, needle and bobbin lace, stitchery, crochet, tatting, and knitting. Now the happy news has reached us that ANNA has been resurrected and will be available once again. We are happy to announce that we will carry it, and we have just received the August issue, which includes a lesson on Japanese sashiko embroidery, and patterns for Hardanger, cross-stitch (among them a lovely autumn wreath of poppies and wheat, and another of maple leaves and berries, both of them perfect for Thanksgiving table linens), several filet crochet designs, a number of crochet net designs, an article on making mother-of-pearl mosaic pieces, and some wonderfully innovative knitting patterns from designer Karen Noe. There are innovative cable sweaters and jackets, but the one that caught my eye is a beautiful lace-edged shawl with an interlace border that will make knitters run for their needles to give it a try. This one is going straight to the top of my to do list. There's also a small Niebling doily, a taste of more to come: the preview of October's issue features a seductive Kunststrickdecke from the 30's. Whatever your favorite art may be, Anna is sure to provide challenging and imaginative patterns to keep your needles busy, and we're happy to be able to offer it. (The magazine is currently available in German, although the patterns are presented in charts and transfers that can be used by anyone.) After the recent discussions here about Anna I thought some of you might be interested. Lorri Graham, Washington, in the foot hills of Mt.

I have a subscription too, but haven't received April's issue yet. I had subscribed last year, so they will owe me for a few issues. It will be interesting to see if they offer anything at the same rate to make up the difference. I used to subscribe to the TV Guide and that has now ended and they offered a very skimpy refund for the balance of my subscription or 6 issues of Homemaker magazine. I have a couple of friends who would like the magazine - I've had two issues so far, nothing much of interest to me.

I just picked up a copy of the July issue of Anna in which there is a course on making a a very but elegant Bruges collar in bobbin lace. The course actually describes how to design your own collar using different sized flowers. There is also a comment written: Laces are making a comeback on the fashion scene. And there is nothing old-fashioned about them! There is also an edging for an oval mat which could be described as a sampler. And 2 table runners, one of which has been worked with several different colours for the floral elements. The other one has a modern design element to it is made in bright green, but I think that it would look good in a variegated thread.

I'm going to have to give myself a strong talking to No, it does allow for your own personal use. As long as your scan is from your own copy and neither the scan nor the original are given to anybody else, you should be within copyright. but what about patterns from people who were producing patterns upto a short while ago but who now, for whatever reason have stopped and we cannot source their work from any supplier. It would be illegal for you to make a copy. Just because they have stopped doesn't mean they don't hold the right to copy. That lasts, if I remember correctly, for 70 years after their death (that will, of course, vary in other countries), so the heirs can benefit. If you really want a legal copy of a pattern not in print, you need to track down the copyright holder (usually the designer or publisher) and ask permission to copy it.

If you're doing it for your own use (i.e., as a backup in case the original gets lost or damaged), then that's probably okay, because it comes under the definition of fair usage. One magazine, one user. If you started making copies to give to friends or to sell, then that's clearly a copyright violation. If you keep your copy and then give away the original, that is also a violation of most copyright laws, because now two copies are in circulation but Anna Burda only received the revenue from one copy sold.

This is quite long and if you can't be bothered to read it all then scroll down the to bottom where I have another question to pose on this subject. Here's a thought to add to this. I pulled out some patterns that I bought at the National Xmas Fair, last year as I am looking to make a piece as a wedding present for my neice. Anyway, these are from Lacewing Designs and beautifully presented (and I have to say, worth every penny I spent on them). But what is of interest is the copyright caveat at the end of the instructions: 'No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form, or by any means, electronic mechanical, photocopying, recording, scanning or otherwise, except for your own personal use, without the express written permission of Lacewing Designs.' Now this is interesting as it is the caveat often used in books. I am making an assumption here but what I feel is my understanding of why this type of statement is now needed is simply because so many of us now have scanners for everyday use we just simply use them as home photocopiers - however, not all scanners have a simple photocopy process where the image comes in and goes out without storage -some need to store it as an image then print it out. Also with us all now so obsessed with not loosing things (own up - how many of you have or are thinking of scanning in all your photos to burn to a CD Rom just because you can!) so we think about how bad those 80s photocopies were and how they stick to our plastic pockets that we store them in and how easy it would be to just burn them all to CD Rom and be done with it - I know I thought about it. However, being basically lazy, I couldn't be bothered to scan the 200 or so A4 sheets of patterns that I have bought over the years. So, the reason I haven't broken copyright law is because I couldn't be bothered? I'm going to have to give myself a strong talking to g!! So I had a look in some of my other books and found some others which have tickled or pleased me - here are some of my favourites: (and by the way, please will the people who wrote these caveats forgive me if I infrindge their copyrights by quoting them here but I'm trying share some of the best ways of polietly telling people to not steal their work!!) Christine Springett who has suffered badly from ripped off snake patterns (I even saw at one lace fair in the passed year a kit for the snake; pricking, thread, beads and cover and instructions clearly photocopied from Christine's book!), Christine has addressed this beautifully in her 'Snakes Galore' booklet: 'You are welcome to photocopy these patterns to make your pricking and to sell the snakes you make as fund-raisers for charity but i would ask you to respect my copyright by not passing on these photocopies to other lacemakers, our new address is given below and we would welcome the opportunity to send your friends or students their own personal copy!' What a nice way of saying - BUY YOUR OWN COPY!!! Christine also tackles the same subject in her Bangle Bonaza booklet where she says 'I would only consider that you would be infringing my copyright on these designs if you photocopy these patterns to give (or sell!!) to your friends or students.' I found this one in Pamela Nottingham's Bobbin Lacemaking (the Batsford paperback edition) which had the standard 'all rights reserved' but also this one; 'The Lace designs in the book may not be copied or adapted for commercial purposes' I know that some time ago Vivienne from Biggins was concerned about blatent adaptations of her patterns (I'm being poliet - actually they should be referred to rip offs) and I think this caveat above is the right one. I am sure that we have been over this before but as we are discussing copyright on this and another thread, I have another question. We know that after the Mrs Channers Mat debate and clarification from Ruth Bean that their pattern is in copyright and could, if they wished or needed to, be produced by them - just at this time it isn't possible / feasible (please let's not go there again) - but what about patterns from people who were producing patterns upto a short while ago but who now, for whatever reason have stopped and we cannot source their work from any supplier. OK, the logical part of me says go make one of the 200 or

Gentle Spiders, I've just realised that it's been ages since I got out my large pillow and worked on my luanatic piece that I started last year. Now we have a sofa (I am over the moon) I can sit with my feet up on my work box, a cushion on my knees and the 24 pillow on my lap and try and get this thing finished. When we got all my stuff out of storage I was hoping to find the missing Anna magazine but no luck - nor did I find the original copy of the pattern. However, an interesting find was made - I have a pattern from Anna 3/92 (so it's 12 years since I got this pattern - wow!) and it's for making a circular piece of lace that is about 18 in diameter - has anyone got a copy of this Anna magazine and could let me have (if it doesn't infringe copyrights) an copy of the photo? I'm also going to be good and upload photos of my lace more often as the Aussie is insistant that I make more lace and stop sitting around doing nothing!! That would be the nothing that I do when I get up and go to work, come home, cook tea, take him to work, come home, do the washing, go to bed, get up and start again But I still love him!
