Re: [lace] Baby piece
Hi fellow Arachnids, There are several easier animals in the late Veronica Sorensen's book, 75 Quick and Easy Patterns in Bobbin Lace. Some in Bridget Cook and Metka Tratnik,s, Idrija Lace. There is a rocking horse in Anna Korableva and Bridget Cookâs Russian lace Patterns (second book p136 I think*) but that is rather difficult for a beginner. Youâd need to simplify it by extracting the rocking horse shape and adding pricking holes. There are other tape lace patterns about which are relatively easy and animals or toys (teddies/rocking horses etc.) are always appreciated. There were some toys/animals in one of the Lace Express issues some time ago. Hope that helps. Happy lace making, Joepie, East Sussex, UK. *One of my students worked that fairly recently. From: Sue T Anyway I spoke to her this morning about the baby lace and she seemed pleased with the idea so I am again coming through all of you to ask if you have any suggestions of simple braid type lace pieces that might go into a frame on the babies wall and not be consigned to a drawer after the first few days. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Baby piece
I have that Russian rocking horse hanging on my wall, I made it about 11 years ago and I got told off by my teacher for being too critical of it, LOL. She told me to hang it on the wall and step away a yard or two and then see what I thought and of course she is right. When we work on something about a foot in front of you its easy to see everything you would like to be a bit tidier but it is always a favourite with anyone visiting our home, its artistic and pretty rather than the lacy frames around a photo but not every ones taste. I think this one is too difficult for my neighbour at the moment but might be one she might try further down her learning life. She has Parkinsons and initially I wasn't sure how it might inpact on her but lots of the time she manages fine, I have encouraged her to take her time, relax, enjoy and is not in a race and she has gained a lot more confidence and we are finding ways around moves she struggles with, with her weaker hand. What she is also enjoying is her clever knitting, embroidery loving sisters are amazed as how good she is getting and saying they wouldn't have the patience and it looks complicated and she is saying no its not when you get down to it, as she has, :-) I am listing any ideas I have and we will go through those soon. I have had several suggestions from various people most of which seem to be rocking horse ones. My DH and I are busy fixing a shower wall at the moment so I haven't had the chance to answer all emails at the moment and I have also been having a fight to make my own poppy come together as i want it to, so tonight I am about to undo it for the second time and might have to rework one petal and then try again. Good job I have plenty of green wrap but a little short on patience that its not working as nicely as it should. My last one looks brilliant so I am cross that this is proving hard to get.But I was putting flower stamens in instead of drawing them in and they are too long like this, I could use an extra couple of hands when fitting them together, LOL. Last night it almost took flight, LOL. Sue T Dorset UK jvik...@sover.net wrote: HI All, I'm thinking I have seen a tape lace rocking horse by Janice Blair. I may be dreaming but Janice can tell us.

[lace] Baby piece
I have sent a copy of my rocking horse pattern to Sue. Mine is a simple tape lace suitable for beginners, especially as the ending is all the threads tied together to form the tail. Any tallies can be replaced with beads or just done in a plait. Thanks for remembering it Jane. Wish we had somewhere to place patterns written in Word.

Re: [lace] Baby piece
Thank you Janice, I now have this pattern and have printed it off to show my neighbour. I worked this for a young women 6 years ago I think when she had a baby girl to attach to a card.

Hello Janice, and everyone I just noticed your 'wish' - you can use something like Google Drive, post your file and share the link as you decide.

Hi Janice and everyone Even better is the idea from Sue Babbs to scan a print copy of your Word doc., and post the jpg to flickr :) (you can google 'google drive' and google will explain better than I can - but I do like Sue's idea!)

[lace] Baby piece
Hi spiders My neighbour, who I have been helping to learn to make lace over the months of this year has just become a grandmother again to a new baby girl and my husband suggested she might like to make a small piece of lace for the new baby. Now had we started a couple of months ago we might have achieved something to go on the card for the arrival, but that happened in the week and she is still working, slowly on and off on her poppy. One more petal to go. We have not had a lace session this month due to my husbands birthday and then some major family situation when he brother was shipping back to this country 8 months after a major accident which has left him with some major brain damage, so for a woman who already has a couple of serious health issues herself it has been a very stressful month and not conducive to calm lace making. Anyway I spoke to her this morning about the baby lace and she seemed pleased with the idea so I am again coming through all of you to ask if you have any suggestions of simple braid type lace pieces that might go into a frame on the babies wall and not be consigned to a drawer after the first few days. I have seen a stork but thats for the here and now, not for a young child, have seen the elephants on the lace guild site which looked good, so are there any other good pieces out there. I will check out my books during the afternoon to see if anything comes up but its difficult to know what pieces are available without having every book that exists and most I have never seen or heard of but I do have a goodly number myself so far. I am sure there are one or two grandmothers out there so would be interested to know what ideas you might have used yourselves.
