When you join IOLI and subscribe to the digital Bulletin, they send you an 
email with a link to the magazine and access instructions when each issue is 
published. I download it to iBooks then read on the iPad. Very easy.

[Anna Binnie]

I have recently signed up for an e-Membership of the Lace guild, and so 
far so good got the two Lace magazines for the year thus far. And if I 
get a membership number I will be even more happy.


I've just checked the IOLI website and they too have an 
e-subscription/membership but no indication how one down loads the 
magazines. Can anyone tell me more about this.


I have subscribed to electronic knitting and quilting magazines, they 
have been really great. I have the patterns accessible wherever I am, I 
can print out what I need and do not have to worry about physical 
storage or the vagarities of the postal system.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Elizabeth Ligeti]

I have not received my Bulletin yet, and watch out for it every day –
hoping….!
I know Dawn Howell has not received hers, either – yet, as I saw her at Lace
Day on Saturday, and asked!

Our Postal service leaves much to be desired!! They changed the system a
couple of years ago, and it is much worse, not better!
So I live in hope of getting the magazine soon! – and I suppose the UK Lace,
and Oz Lace will be due, too.

The Bulletin looks to have some Very interesting articles in it – as usual.
It is a really good read, as it the UK Lace.

Regards from Liz. In Hot, Dry Melbourne, Oz.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin Winter 2019 & Lace magazine news

[J R]

I have been remiss in announcing the arrival of the Winter 2019 IOLI
Bulletin. I got it a couple weeks ago, accompanied by the annual handbook.
Also, on FaceBook, I saw a post by the Lace Guild that the current digital
Lace magazine is now available. Better yet, in July of this year, the
digital-only Early Days magazine will be available to members for just an
additional $5. I've been curious about that publication, thinking it might
be a help in teaching kids and newcomers. 

 

As for the Bulletin contents:

Detailed information about this year's Convention in Spokane Valley,
Washington

Articles by a couple convention teachers: Karen Thompson (Ipswich lace) and
Mimi Dillman (tatting)

Memorials for Judy Zeiss and Marion Jones

Proficiency Program information

Laurie Waters' second article about Learning Needlelace (I've added this to
my list of future projects. She makes it seem doable.)

Jennifer Kohn on 3D tatting

Spangling bobbins by Lilly Douglass

A summary of the recent Figural Lace exhibit at the Lace Museum in
Sunnyvale, with photos, by Evelyn McMillan.

Lia Baumeister-Jonker's overview of lace history and identification with a
couple patterns

Photos and description of the creation of an exhibit piece Ulrike Voelker
designed and then executed with the help of three of her students.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin and Google Account

[Janice Blair]

I got my paper version of the Bulletin at the weekend. After some nagging from 
my daughter, I finally decided to open a Google account if I could.  Lin, your 
suggestion of having a separate gmail account for Bulletin access only would 
not work as the new email would be shown in the Handbook , and not the one I 
prefer to use.  Anyway, I just tried to create a Google account to find that my 
jblace email is already in there.  How did that happen, guess I must have done 
it years ago and totally forgot about it.  I did change my password as 
suggested by Google.  Now I am set up for the next Bulletin online.  I presume 
I will receive an email with a link to the Bulletin when the time comes. I 
still want the paper version though. I might be back with questions if I can't 
access it.

Sue, No, I doubt that the IOLI will make the handbook available online, even 
though it would only be accessible by those signed up for the Bulletin.  If it 
can be downloaded, then it could be shared!

Devon,
This made me chuckle in the last digest, how many hands do you have. I had 
visions of a lacemaker with three or more hands.  That would be helpful at 
times.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Clare Lewis]

 Further to Jane's email regarding The Lace Guild electronic membership,
e-Lace is not sent as a pdf, there is an e-members only section of the
website where the e-magazine is accessed.

I would echo Jane's call for patterns, articles, photos etc., etc.;
publications can't survive without them.

One area we do often have a problem with is items for the Young Lacemaker
magazine; while the readers may be young (mostly) they are not necessarily
beginners. More challenging patterns with a 'trendy' (or whatever the
current terminology is) theme and application are always welcome.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Jane Partridge]

We're just in the beginning stages of receiving the journal of the preserved 
railway where I volunteer in electronic format. What is being done there, and I 
suspect with The Lace Guild as well, is that the electronic pdf file that is 
sent to the printers is also the file that is being sent out to members by 
email. This is most likely the cheapest and simplest way of doing things, for 
those charitable organisations (like the railway and the Guild) that don't have 
funding to get an outside specialist company involved.  With the railway's 
journal, being a pdf it gives me the option of using the up/down arrows to move 
to previous/next page, and typing the page number I want in the box, plus 
scrolling down (which isn't a great hardship!). The contents page at the start 
tells me which page I need for a specific article. Also, if I want to look for 
pieces about, say, a particular loco, I can use the control-f function 
(keyboard command for "find" - I'm using a Windows 10 laptop and!
  Adobe Acrobat Reader) to bring up a search box, into which I can type key 
words.

Production of an "all bells and whistles" version would substantially increase 
the production cost, and would likely require those subscribing to pay more 
rather than less for their electronic magazine - which would defeat the object 
of trying to gain overseas members by making it affordable for them to 
subscribe to (the postal costs for paper copies make them anything but). Do 
remember that the newstand magazines that have electronic versions with all the 
navigation options have much larger circulation figures than our specialist 
magazines, and so have a much greater income to afford the staff and technology 
required. I'm not sure what the exchange rate is at the moment, but from the 
figures Susan quotes for the various subscriptions electronic membership of The 
Lace Guild, at £20.00 (GBP) per year, sounds like a bargain! 

However, for the magazines to continue in either format, the editors are 
(usually) dependent on members sending in patterns (for any type of lace, not 
just bobbin lace) and articles for publication, and the patterns submitted 
don't have to be as complicated as Miss Channer's mat - one of the reasons I 
started subscribing to the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette when I was teaching was 
that their patterns were frequently easy enough for a relative beginner to 
attempt, and being an affordable subscription, it was a lace publication I 
could recommend to my students. So many times you hear someone say their reason 
for not joining the Guild, or submitting a pattern (of their own design) is 
"I'm not good enough" - which in many cases certainly isn't true. Having 
patterns for beginners in the magazines is as important as having the more 
challenging ones for those of us who have been making lace for years, and even 
more so, if we are to encourage new lacemakers to subscribe in the first pl!
 ace!

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Susan]

Hello All!  Thanks Janice & others for your comments. Sorry I can’t answer your 
questions about Google. The digital edition is a great help for anyone with an 
overseas mailing address or multiple residences, so I congratulate IOLI 
leadership for providing this membership option at a very affordable $30.  May 
I say even at $40 an IOLI membership with a paper copy of The Bulletin is a 
bargain! EGA USA (Embroiderers’ Guild) is now $50 & ANG (American Needlepoint 
Guild) is $45. Clearly our volunteers are doing a great job guarding our bottom 
line—thank you! While I love the digital edition, I would love it even more if 
navigating between/among the pages was easier. In spite of Prabha’s heroic 
efforts to provide multiple screen shots & various tutorials, I found my 
navigation limited to scrolling or typing a page number in the menu bar. The 
thumbnails she described were nowhere to be found with the hardware/software 
that I am using. After lots of pointing & clicking & no !
 progress, I decided it is what it is. To be fair, my navigation was limited to 
scrolling (only) when I accessed the digital version of Lace (Lace Guild UK 
magazine) so apparently this is not an isolated issue with online publishing of 
this type. Technology has provided us with this new digital option so let’s use 
it to our advantage & see whether more improvements are forthcoming. Best

VERY nice idea, Karen.

Do we have people with skill or advice in digitizing in the room?

As a back-of-the-book INDEXER in real life (retired), I imagine I could put
you in contact with folks who do Indexing regularly, and thus know the
‘customs’ and standard guidelines. If making this happen interests anyone
at IOLI, please get back to me.

Re: [lace] lace: IOLI Bulletin

In reference to digitizing our own lace documents, it can be much easier than 
Lin’s process. There are many smart phone apps that create.pdf’s just by aiming 
your phone and clicking. I like Scannable and have the free version for iPhone. 
It straightens the document nicely. Can do separate pages or multiple page 
documents.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[J Reardon]

I’ve been reading the sample digital IOLI bulletin on my tablet (iPad) and am 
very glad they are offering that option. Tablets work much better for this than 
computers. The tablets, which originated as readers, automatically size the 
page so it fills the screen. You can enlarge the page to zoom in on details. 

I’ve got a number of digital Piecework magazines on my iPad. They have a couple 
features the Bulletin would benefit from. I can move from page to page by 
swiping left and the table of contents has links to take you directly to each 
article. With the Bulletin, it didn’t hold my place when I closed it and I had 
to page through to find where I left off. 

Nobody loses. The print edition is still available for those who prefer it. 
This new feature is a bonus for those of us who prefer it.

Re: [lace] lace: IOLI Bulletin

just a thought.  i have photographed pages (books and magazines) and then
copied them into a Word document.  because one can print from a PDF file, i
have created them on a free PDF converter program on the internet.  now i
have digitized the item and can view it on my tablet/phone/computer at any
time.  i can zoom for viewing and print out from the tablet or cell.  you
might consider doing this.  it is tedious, but i have managed to eliminate
a lot of bulk and weight.  enjoy.

this also works for pages that i need for a project/class/trip when i
travel because i can just take it on the tablet or cell and have access
without having to remember to "pack" that info.  this is helpful for
directions (if you don't use a GPS application) too.

[lace] lace: IOLI Bulletin

[Karen Thompson]

I, for one, was thrilled to see the IOLI Bulletin being offered in digital
version.  Like most others I much prefer having a printed version, BUT, we
are in the process of downsizing to much smaller space, so I simply do not
have enough storage space for all the wonderful Bulletins.  I hope at some
point in the future the old Bulletins will be digitized, and there will be
a nice digital index of articles and patterns, so they can be searched.
However, since I am not able to do it, it is just wishful thinking.

Hopefully, we can get together at the IOLI Convention.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin - Staying organized

[Jeri Ames]

Dear Lacemakers,
 
Is there a library collection anywhere in the world housing books and
publications focused on both embroidery and lace that is more extensive than
the one here?   How does that owner feel about this subject ?
 
In the case of this library in Maine USA, it is preferable to hold a magazine
in the hand.  The instructions received from the IOLI Bulletin Editor add
more complexity, as you will read below.    
 
My lace and embroidery library, now 4,075 books, is probably the most
extensive private collection in the world for research on these subjects,
especially valuable because the librarian here has read everything in English
and is familiar with what else has been saved that is written in other
languages.  Though periodical publications have not been inventoried, a
system recently began of storing bulletins of guilds / publishers (like
PieceWork) in plastic bins  - by organization.  There are also bins holding
obsolete publications.  Contents are filed by date, with the most current at
the top.  They have their own designated room. 
 
No one can countermand the owner, who belongs to about 12 guilds just to
receive the bulletins (dues are a large expense).  
 
Imagine having different access instructions for each and every item here ! 
Imagine changes every time editors / officers change and institute their
preferences, or constantly having to adapt to new technologies. 
 
When a book or magazine bibliography lists references used, my filing system
is easy to use to find originals. Even if I had a volunteer (Ha Ha), there are
other tasks of more value to do.  An inventory, like the existing one of
books, is of considerable value in helping to find the exact book needed.  I
fail to see the benefit of doing this with periodical publications, given the
labor necessary to implement and constantly update.  A storage system is the
answer here.

Fwd: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Lbuyred]

Depending upon the price I will probably pay for both the physical and digital 
copies for a year.  Then I will decide which I prefer.  I have a number of 
hobby books that I have gotten electronically and I like them a lot.  I 
especially like being able to access them on my tablet and the ability to zoom 
in to a really close view.  Several actually have instructional videos imbedded 
in the book which I love.

I did have a digital subscription to a stamp magazine that did not work out as 
well.  When I would try to zoom in to an area that was near the edge of the 
page the system would turn the page.  I changed that to a physical subscription.

Hi Janice

I too will be opting for the paper version as I prefer being able to pick it up 
and read at my leisure, rather than go to my laptop to access it.  I did try 
the digital version with another lace group but like yourself, couldn't be 
bothered with having to go through the process of accessing it through the 
computer each time I wanted to read it.  I'm in the UK so haven't actually 
received my copy yet.  Can't help you with the Google account I'm afraid, as 
I'm far too long in the tooth to comprehend and keep up with all this modern 
technology, most of which I have no use for anyway!

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Janice Blair]

As the list seems to be quiet, my last digest was #68 on July 1, and I know I 
sent a lengthy email about convention hoping it might kick out a new digest, I 
decided to write about the IOLI increasing the dues to cover mailing and 
printing costs of the magazine and the new digital version at lower cost.

I, and all IOLI members with an email address, should have received an email 
from Prabha Ramakrishnan, the editor recently.  Apart from increasing dues, 
they are making an online version of the Bulletin available at a lower cost or, 
if paying the full membership dues, you can get both versions.  I was able to 
access the online one in the link from Prabha, but if I decided to go the 
digital route, I would need to have access through a Google account.  I don't 
have a gmail email, so I am not sure how I would do that. What is a Google 
Account?  I don't want a new email address and the FAQ's say I don't need to do 
that, but how would I access it? Checking out the magazine online, I think I 
have decided to pay the full amount when I renew in September as I prefer to 
have the paper version that I can flip through, leave at the side of my chair 
so I can pick it up whenever I want to check something.  I don't like the fact 
that I can't read the screen if I am looking at the full pag!
 e of the magazine, and on my laptop I need to zoom in to read the details, and 
then I have to move the screen up and down.  Not for me, too lazy.

Can anyone answer my question on a Google Account, and what do others think of 
this new version?

My Lace arrived on Friday, and the IOLI magazine a couple of weeks or more ago. 
 It was good to sit down and read it while I was trying to recover from 
pneumonia which has stopped me from going to England to the Lace Guild AGM 
which I’ll miss for the first time in about 20 years.

I’m sure that the people in New Brunswick would be happy to send you some rain 
as they have severe flooding at the moment.

Thank you,  Jean R. for mentioning the IOLI Bulletin. I have not received mine
yet, and I haven’t heard of any other Aussies who have received it, so I
will mention it on the Aussie list, so they all can look out for it.
It is good to know when these magazines come out, as the Postal Service here
is dismal, and a couple of years ago some of us were missing 2 issues, - not
realizing they should have arrived months ago!

The UK Lace should be out soon, too, - shouldn’t it?  I believe the Aussie
Lace Magazine is in the pipeline, - possibly at the printers, by now.

Hooray!!  My magazine arrived this morning. I have not had a chance to open it
yet, - but I know I will have some good reading this evening, when I get time
to sit and look though it!!

I must learn to concentrate better – I mad a bad boo-boo with my tatting
last evening, - and used the wrong colour in some Daisy Picots, and had gone
on quite a way past them before I realized!  Going backwards is not that
easy – especially with a finer thread (#40) Grr!!!

I was not going to let a length of thread beat me!!

I got my Fall Bulletin today so the magazine seems to be back on track for 
delivery times.  Nice job from the new editor, Prabha Ramakrishnan.  I may be 
biased as the cover has my winning needlelace kite necklace from the 
competition. I won first prize in the original design category.  There are lots 
of photos from convention which brought back good memories  from July, lots of 
reports from convention and several articles by new contributors. I love the 
fingerless mittens and, although I have no need of them in southern California, 
I might have a go at the pattern to use for a gift.

RE: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[devonthein]

Jean, what is the situation with the Bulletin? I guess the summer one has been
mailed since Janice received it. I was at a class this weekend and the people
who were the members of the IOLI  board seemed to think that the Fall one
would be coming out almost immediately. They also thought we had all gotten an
email to that effect. But, I don’t recall getting such an email.

If IOLI has been given an email address the Membership Chair does send out
email reminders of when dues are due.

But this only works if the email address is correct so please be extra careful
when writing it down on the renewal form.

And as Janice mentioned you can always check the expiry date on the address
label when your bulletin arrives.

This is the system IOLI had before it was changed to the current one over 10 
years ago. The problems with a single renewal date are (A) having to estimate 
how many extra magazines to have printed to allow for new members joining 
during the year, (B) finding somewhere to store all these extra magazines, (C) 
the extra postage costs for sending out additional magazines (not something you 
can pass on to a new member).

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Malvary Cole]

I have just sent in my renewal and am arranging to get the missing issues 
since my membership expired. (Jacquie note - you will also be getting all 
the back issues too).  I have a feeling that I might have had an e-mail 
reminding me, but I'm not sure.


Perhaps IOLI should look at the system The Lace Guild uses.  The renewals 
are sent out once a year, in the magazine and the payment is for the next 
four issues.  It means everyone is on the same renewal date and if you join 
mid year you get the back issues plus those still to come for that year.  I 
think The Lace Society uses the same method.

Still not received the summer one.  I wish IOLI sent out routine reminders of 
membership dues. I generally subscribe for two years at a time, and was very 
grateful that, as the summer bulletin was late, they sent me an e-mail 
extending the deadline for payment, as I had completely forgotten about it!

[lace] IOLI Bulletin & Membership fees.

[Elizabeth Ligeti]

I have not received the Summer Bulletin yet, nor the Fall one.

The last one I received (very late) was the Spring issue, - with \Devon's
Teapot on the front cover - Triumph of the Wildflowers, - Prairie
Restoration in Iowa.

Has anyone had the summer Edition?  I think it was delayed due to the
Editor's illness, so I presume the Fall Bulletin will be late too. 

I cannot help with the query about Membership fees, as mine were paid before
Convention -- I think!  I better check   Yes, I renewed in April!  I
think I got a reminder that my membership fees were due.

I haven't had one for a while because I'd forgotten to renew.  Have just 
done so, and my next bulletin will be December.  I'd asked about buying the 
missing issues so have been expecting something from IOLI - like an invoice, 
so wasn't worried about opening the spam message because I thought it was 
going to be something to pay for the issues I didn't get.  Hope now I'm not 
infected with anything.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Janice Blair]

I'm still waiting for my Bulletin but my husband seems more anxious than I am.
 Every day he announces "no magazine again" when he goes to collect our mail.
 I saw the cover on the IOLI Facebook page so I know it is on its way.
Thanks Liz for your comments. The cover piece was a technical entry so had to
be made from someone else's pattern.  I saw the sunflower in the Lace Express
in the early 2000's.  I had a friend who has every copy of Lace Express track
it down for me.  Because of size constraints I had to reduce the pattern by
50% and changed the thread so it would work.  The hardest part was trying to
make all those leaf tallies consistent in size.  I was so pleased that it
received the Popular Vote as well.  That is always a compliment from
contemporaries.
Hope the Bulletin comes soon.  Maybe I will get to see it on Saturday when I
attend the Freeway Lace Day in Torrance.Janice

I received my Bulletin yesterday. Wow! What beautiful pieces of lace were
made and put in the competition.
Congratulations to you all, but Especially to Janice Blair for that gorgeous
sunflower that won a couple of prizes, and is shown in all its glory on the
front cover!!!
Gosh! Janice, you are so clever with designs, - and then making those
designs up in beautiful lace.  Very well done.
 I love your "Shades of Iowa" too. Very clever..

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Jeriames]

Thank you, Pene, for the update.  Everyone loves to receive a lace  
bulletin, and sometimes they do not realize how much goes into getting one  
into 
members' mailboxes.  
 
It is unfortunate that our Lace Guilds must rely on unpaid volunteer  
editors, who probably do not receive nearly enough appreciation.   The job of 
publishing 4 bulletins a year happens to require an  enormous amount of 
personal time and devotion to lace.  Editors need  help.  So do proofreaders.   
A 
representative of one  overseas national Guild has told me they have 3 
proofreaders who read the  entire contents of a bulletin from cover-to-cover 
before it is sent to the  printer!
 
Sometimes, our editors are juggling careers that pay bills, as well as  
keeping a spouse and family happy, and home running smoothly.   They really 
need tangible support to stay healthy and strong.  I have  written about the 
unpaid efforts of our remarkable lace women before.  When  they volunteer, it 
would be nice to have someone in the local lace  group who lives nearby 
volunteer to help with errands and the  time-consuming extras (taking the 
family 
dog to the vet, picking up dry  cleaning and the like, waiting for a car to 
be serviced, etc).  Can we help  them out a bit, if we live near them?   
 
Thinking back to my years of working at a newspaper over 50 years ago,  I 
recall that I was required to read other daily newspapers as well as our  
own.  This brought forward items of interest that our newspaper had not  
covered but might be of interest to our department's student readers aged  
13-18.  
 
Lace editors need time to take our pulse.   One Bulletin  Editor 
personally contacted me, and I learned she was aware of  contents of Arachne.   
She 
somehow found time to glance  past any me too memos on Arachne and take 
note of what lace people around  the world were finding of interest. 
 
This is something for our various national and  international Guild leaders 
to ponder.   I hope  they have good backup plans for Bulletin Editors, who 
are human like  the rest of us and need support so they won't burn out.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin, Spring 2014, Bibliography Corrections

[Jeriames]

There must be hundreds of American subscribers to Arachne who belong to
IOLI.  I don't know, because there are so many lurkers, who do not write,
respond, or even ask questions.  They do not seem to know that  printed
material presented on Arachne and in our various Guild  publications is a
gift.

It is important that Lace Bulletins be useful far into the future for
researchers.  Researchers need to consult primary sources - original books
being of most importance.  It is not wise to reuse a Bibliography that
someone
else compiled without verifying it is correct!

There are other interesting subjects.  If we do not make it easy to do
research, Lace will not be researched!

You may wish to add the following notes to your copies of the IOLI  Spring
2014 Bulletin AND to your local Lace group's copies, so  that if they fall
into the hands of future Lace scholars, the  information will be easier to
use.  These notes only relate to  books referenced in Bibliographies at the
end of articles in the IOLI Bulletin,  Volume 34, Number 3 (Photo of South
American nun on the cover).

1. Page 15 - Ruth Bean's 1983 edition of Le Pompe should read  ISBN 0
903585 16 2.  The 2 is missing.You might like to  add after Book 1 , plus
selected pages from Book 2.

2. Page 15 - Burkard entry is OK.  Might add One of 3 books in a  boxed
set.

3. Page 15 - Levey's Victoria and Albert book reference is  OK.

4. Page 15 - Dye's book entry may  need correction:  ISBN is printed in
book as 978 0 9553223 5 8,  but as 3 4 (at the end) in IOLI Bulletin.
Publisher Jean Leader  has been consulted.  She says Gil Dye will probably
issue an
Errata  (correction to be appended to a book or books) for Books 2 and 3 in
this series.  That means maybe the IOLI Bulletin's ISBN number is  OK.
These are two very busy lace experts who can always be relied on  to set
things
right.  (You might like to add , p. 34 at the end for the  frogging
reference.)

5. Page 20 - For Lessons in Bobbin Lacemaking, there is room to  write
Dover edition; originally Scribner's vertically in the white space  of fold.
 (Original publisher was Scribner's in both hard back and soft  cover
editions, and title was different: Bobbin Lacemaking.   Contents of all 3
versions is the same.)

6. Page 21 - Authors of Bobbin Lace of Peniche are Janne L. G.  Hill and
Graça Maria Ramos.  Cross out Barbara Fay as author.  Fay is  the publisher,
and a book dealer in Germany.  There is white vertical  space to make the
correction.

7. Page 23 - First book's author is Therle Hughes,  not Hughs (famous in
the antiques world).

8. Page 23 - Last book's title should be RSN Stumpwork  (for  Royal School
of Needlework), not RNS Stumpwork.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin/convention

[Janice Blair]

Hi lacemakers,

I finally got my Bulletin this week after hearing my friends already had theirs 
last week.  There are more photos of the poppy project in it and an article by 
Devon on her trip to Sansepolcro.  Wish she had taken me along.  Louise Colgan 
who taught at the Australian Lace Guild National Conference last year has 
written an article about it.  I hope to be able to sit down soon and read 
everything in detail.

I also want to take this opportunity to mention the upcoming IOLI convention, 
and I hope I don't offend anyone by this.  Some classes are already filled to 
capacity, such as those taught by Louise Colgan, Ulrike Voelker, and Allie 
Marguccio but we still have some spaces with Anny Noben Slegers, Jean Leader, 
Holly van Sciver and many other teachers.  Don't think you are too late in 
registering as I am sure Brenda Glenn, Registrar, will be able to place you in 
a 
class, and maybe one that you might have thought was already filled.   Please 
note that Brenda's email address on the form was wrong.  She is with Comcast, 
not Camcost.  Most people in the US know that Comcast is a national carrier, 
but 
there might be areas where people have never heard of it.

For those of you who are waiting anxiously to know what your classes are, we 
are 
still working hard on placements.  If your check has been cashed, you know that 
it was received by Brenda.  Unlike previous conventions where the checks were 
not deposited for a considerable length of time, now that IOLI is a co-host, 
the 
checks were sent to the Treasurer within a week or two.  If your check has not 
been cashed, email Brenda to check that she received it at 
busybe...@comcast.net 
 we know that a few applications have gone astray in the mail.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Dona Bushong]

Happy Easter all-
I'm doing a bit of a sort out in preparation for another move. I have 10 IOLI
Bulletins that I'd like to find a new home for rather than dumping them.  I
thought I would put them up for a raffle.  Send me your name if you're
interested in these magazines by next Sunday, 15 April.

2009 - Spring and Fall
2010 - Spring, Summer, Fall
2011 - Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
2012 - Winter

I'm not sure where the missing issues have got to but if I find them, I'll add
them in.

Dona in Guam where our Easter Sunday has been a beautiful sunny day.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin - Devon does it again!!!

[lbuyred]

I have just spent a thoroughly enjoyable morning at the hair dresser's reading 
Devon's latest article.  What fun and what a great ending!  I am a little 
curious to know how much persuading was involved in getting the museum to pull 
the pieces out of storage so that they could be photographed for the article?

[Janice Blair]

I will now report that I have almost read all the Bulletin and have only to 
decide which classes and tours I want this summer.  I was not in such a hurry 
to see the offerings as in past years as I was able to view the class choices 
at the Portland Lace Society website over the last few months.  Nice to see 
that they are arranging an Arachne luncheon this year so we will all be able to 
meet up again.  Go here and choose the IOLI Convention, then Classes and you 
will be able to see photos of some of the laces being offered.  I also noticed 
that the mailing date is February 1, so better make some decisions soon.

Cindy did a nice job again with the Bulletin.  There are articles by other 
Arachne including Liz Ligeti in Australia, Tamara Duvall, and I even spotted a 
book review from Pene Piip.  Lots of nice needlelace info for me.

Devon, in her wonderfully inquisitive/humerous/direct manner has given us a 
fabulous romp through a lace mystery which kept me absorbed until the end.  I'm 
so impressed with Devon's determination to follow every lead to the next 
resolution!!  Like you, Janice, I'm inclined to study the Convention listings 
first in the winter issues.  I acknowledge that I did go through the convention 
details (briefly), and then spent a very pleasant time giving Devon's article 
all of my attention!!  The pictures which grace the covers (back and front) of 
the issue add considerably to the pleasure of the article.  What magnificent 
pieces of lace!!!  And the fact that they're in New York just make me want to

[lace] IOLI Bulletin - Devon does it again!!!

[Janice Blair]

I got my Winter IOLI Bulletin this afternoon and as this usually is the 
Bulletin that has the details about convention in, I tend to go to the center 
pages.  Not this time.  Devon Thein has written a long, long (9 pages) article, 
several without pictures, that is a fascinating read.  DH kept asking me 
questions and my reply was I'm reading!!  She takes us back in time on a 
search for the Empress Eugenie Laces, something I had not heard of before.  She 
has researched these laces on their journey from Belgium to New York, and, not 
wanting to spoil the read for those who have not received the magazine, I felt 
I was with her along the journey, even imagining the stink from the robbed 
grave.  Bet that piques your curiosity.

I was also fascinated because I have a new interest in needlelace.  The lace in 
question is colored point de gaze and so very, very fine.  I just did a clumsy 
piece of needlelace of which I was very proud, as those who know me, know that 
the needle and I are not friends. :-)  My piece was a sample for a local guild 
class so that I can pass on what knowledge I gleaned last year at convention.  
I took a class with Nancy Evans that I really enjoyed, mainly because we used a 
variety of sizes of threads starting with DMC 5.

For my class, I would like to list some good needlelace books.  I have the Lace 
Guild book and a couple of reference books, but I would like some suggestions 
on books that are still available for purchase.  I used the Encyclopedia of 
Needlework by T.de Dillmont for my examples of stitches and that has a great 
many stitches.  Mine is a very old copy of the book.  Is it still available in 
a reprint?  Please send any suggestions to the list, even though I have to wait 
for the digests.

O.K., Gentle Spiders,
If the Arachne (or IOLI) Police object to this postingwell...
My Fall 2007 issue arrived yesterday and since we were away all day, I didn't 
get to open it until bedtime. It is a super, interesting issue and I read it 
until the wee hours. 

I won't divulge any contents, but those who haven't gotten it can look forward 
to a complete Convention report plus much additional stuff. I didn't get to 
Tulsa this year due to FH Clive's daily radiation treatments, so I especially 
enjoyed that segment.

Congratulations to all the editors for a job well done.  Thank you.

And, Laurie, I know I paid my dues and am not concerned about the mis-label.

Happy Bulletin Reading,

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[bevw]

Hi everyone

I feel I should speak up - I also receive the IOLI bulletin, plus other lace
periodicals and like each of them for their various perspectives. I have
much respect for the lace magazine editor, being one myself :)  The rewards
are priceless for anyone volunteering in this capacity, then so there are
expenditures  - often we go out of pocket and time for our cherished
commitment. At times we have to accept  something less than perfect to keep
within the publishing budget.  I count a lot on the goodwill and patience of
the lace magazine subscribers.
I think, yes, the IOLI bulletin is certainly as good as any at this time -
but that opinion shouldn't diminish the efforts of editors-past. The back
issues going back many years have been an excellent lace resource.

[Tamara P Duvall]

Gentle Spiders,

Mine came today, no joke (despite the date). Excellent timing, since I 
just finished reading the Canadian Lace Gazette this morning (reading 
lace-related publications before breakfast is my equivalent of a cup 
of cofee to get me going before I brave the world at large), and am 
now looking forward to tomorrow.


I haven't _read_ anything as yet, but, flipping through, noticed 
several pages devoted to Patchwork Lace (also known as Normandy 
Lace), which I'm glad to see; not my cup o'T precisely, since I'm not 
overfond of needles as lace tools, but interesting.


And Devon Thein has an article, as usual, but has taken a break from 
scouring museums, and writes about her experiences and experiments in 
Wire Lace instead. Which is fine with me -- Devon's sense of humour is 
delightful no matter what subject she picks, and I'm looking forward 
_greatly_ to reading that article, which, I hope, will be full of 
trials and tribulations gently ridiculed.


But, the greatest and most immediate pleasure came from seeing -- in an 
article titled Lace Making Fairs in Catalonia (Spain) -- a photo of 
Carolina de la Guardia Gallego at her witch-stitch lace. Nice to meet 
you at long last, Carolina :)


For those who have not yet seen Carolina's new designs in old witch 
stitch lace, here's her second book, with links to the first and other 
goodies:

Did anyone notice in the Book Review section on page 4, there are 3 reviews 
written by little ol' me about the Estonian books which I donated to the 
IOLI Library. There are 2 bobbin lace  1 knitted lace books. Please check 
them out  not leave them unread. If anyone is interested in getting copies 
of Eeva Talts Torchon book, let me know, as I can get them directly from 
her (for multiple copies) or from the local National Estonian Museum.


I haven't finished reading some of the articles, but I love Janice's Red

very interesting focal point.

 Nancy), on p 11, says:

The often wrongly called is your clue:  certain embroiders want to use 
blanket stitch for all forms of buttonhole, in order to reserve buttonhole 
for what we've always called tailor's buttonhole  (buttonhole stitch with an 
extra twist, suitable for buttonholes on heavy fabrics such as coating.)  

They aren't getting very far -- partly because of the tremendous inertia of 
bushels of reference materials that use the older terms, and partly -- I 
suspect -- because blanket stitch sounds as though it ought to be coarse 
enough to work on the edge of a blanket, and sounds funny as a description of 
buttonholing.  

It's more plausible to refer to blanket stitch as Spaced Buttonhole than to 
call buttonhole a closely-worked blanket stitch.   Enthoven (The Stitches of 
Creative Embroidery) refers to Spaced buttonhole, also known as blanket 
stitch, and doesn't, as near as I can tell without re-reading the whole book, 
mention tailor's buttonhole at all.  Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery 
Stitches describes tailor's buttonhole in great detail, then ends cryptically 
When used for actual buttonholes on tailor-made garments, the process of 
working is reversed. without saying *what* is reversed.  I suppose she was 
only heading off those who would be confused by a different description in a 
tailoring book; teaching the making of buttonholes is outside the scope of a 
dictionary of embroidery stitches.  She does strongly imply that tailor's 
buttonhole can, or should, be worked only on edges.

(We just hashed this out on 18th-Century Woman, if you're wondering why I had 
references at my fingertips.)

[lace] IOLI Bulletin - question

[Tamara P Duvall]

Gentle Spiders,

I've finally got around to reading the whole Bulletin; being 
obsessive-compulsive, I read everything, whether it's my technique or 
not. As usual, the highlight was Devon's article (in my next life, I 
want to have her -- sly and quiet -- sense of humour g), though I 
think the entire Bulletin keeps improving; the other articles (Miro and 
Eurell) were classy also.


I have a question (stemming from my obsessive curiosity and reading 
material not really suitable)... What's the difference between a 
blanket stitch and a buttonhole one? Nancy Evans (Needle Lace With 
Nancy), on p 11, says:
[...] begin blanket (often wrongly called buttonhole) stitching 
tightly [...]


Before I got a sewing machine which makes buttonhole-making a snap 
(well... most of them g), I made buttonholes by hand for years and 
years. And I often finished inner seams -- also by hand -- in what I 
think of as blanket stitch. But to me, _the only difference_ was that 
buttonhole stitches were laid closely together, while the blanket ones 
were spaced out further apart. That seems not to be the case, if 
blanket stitches are to be stitched tightly...


Yours, in search of enlightment,
--

There is a wonderful book by Marion Scoular entitled Advice is for
listening to--not necessarily taking!! She devotes several pages (with
illustrations) to the difference between blanket stitches (used in Hardanger
edgings, among other applications) and buttonhole stitches, which actually
get a knot at the fabric edge of each stitch.

Impossible to describe in words, unfortunately. If you know anyone who does
embroidery, or are near an embroidery guild, you might be able to take a
look at this book--pages 38 and 42.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Elizabeth Ligeti]

Well, the Bulletin has reaches Oz today!!
Just had a very quick glance through it, and see a piece of my Radical 
Reticella is shown inside the front cover.  Unfortunately, the caption 
mentions that it is an adaptation of a Carol Williamson design from Lace - 
but this is wrong.  The neckband I made is the adaptation, Not this piece!
This piece, the Aquilegia -or Blue Columbine was made especially for a 
challenge from my Colorado lace Friends. The Blue Columbine being the State 
Flower.


5 sided Reticella came straight out of my own head!!! (for better or worse!)
Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Jane Nelson]

All of the talk of the new IOLI Bulletin got me to thinking that I  
hadn't received one in quite some time, so I started doing some  
checking.
I wrote the check in September - a bit past the deadline but had e- 
mailed with someone, can't remember who and my computer went south in  
December so I can't go back and look - and the check has never been  
cashed.  Makes me wonder where it went but now it seems clear to me  
that my subscription was never entered so I didn't receive the last  
issue and I'm sure I'm not going to receive the issue you all are  
talking about now.

Can someone help me with this?  I miss receiving the bulletins.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Fellow Spiders,

Has anyone else gotten their IOLI Bulletin yet? Just got mine today. Studying
the convention info, wishing I could find some way to justify going to it!

The post office must be working hard.  I got mine
today, also, and I'm on the opposite side of the
country -- Oregon.  

Great work, IOLI!  I just got a quick look, but you
even have my new email in the handbook listing.

I did note that entry deadline for the Table Ribbon
contest is June 24.  Time to get started, if you
haven't already. The next five months will go fast. 
I'll get to really read the issue after dinner
tonight.  A pleasure to anticipate!

[Jane Viking Swanson]

Hi All,  I got my IOLI Bulletin today!!  I was quite thrilled and read it
as I walked to town.  Luckily I didn't step in anything awful G.  It's
wonderful and I love seeing who made all the entries in the IOLI Contest.  I
was quite taken with the mountains which I see are s'Gravensmoer (sp?) lace!
The Bulletin is downstairs so I can't give full details.  And of course the
lace by Janice Blair, Pene Piip and many other arachnes!!  The story on the
Convention is by a lurking arachne and very fun to read.  Also Tamara's
beautiful earrings and pendant!

Jane in Vermont, USA looking forward to going to Ithaca next week!

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin problem

 Poor Jean,
There is only one solution sening back and waiting for one who is ok. 
Sometimes it happenes that the wrong pages were bound together.

Greetings  Ilske

I've just received my Summer IOLI bulletin, but there's a problem with 
it -
I've got pages 1 - 8 twice and pages 25-32 twice, with pages 9 - 24 
missing.

Is there someone I can contact by email to get a replacement?

Hi Lacers --

I just got my first (!) copy of the IOLI Bulletin, and I am just thrilled 
with it. I think it's beautiful and there is so much great information and 
inspiration in it. Thanks to everyone who contributed to it! I am so glad I 
found 
out about IOLI.

Mine arrived today - quickly checked, all pages present and correct.  It 
reminded me that my Anna magazine had arrived and Piecework, so I popped off 
down to get them - will have a feast of reading to do, especially as I 
haven't finished Cdn Lacemaker Gazette yet, either.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Dmt11home]

Thank you Jeri, for pronouncing the Summer 2005 Bulletin a collector's  item. 
I agree. There is no catalogue of the Cone Collection exhibit and if the  
curator, herself, does not write an article about it, as we hope she will, it  
may be the most permanent memorial to the exhibit. Knowing there would be no  
catalogue, I suggested we print extra copies, but that is not possible due to  
the terms under which we publish. (Perhaps we will all get rich selling our  
copies on ebay some day.)
Debra Jenny is to be congratulated on her editorship. I had to laugh when  
Jean said that she wasn't sure if the editor was also the person in charge of  
sending out the Bulletin. It would seem reasonable to think that there might be 
 a staff of more than one producing such a publication, but the IOLI Bulletin 
is  pretty much a one-woman production with Debra doing everything. It is 
certainly  a monumental job.
Thanks are also due to the Baltimore Museum of Art for their generosity  with 
the photography and helpfulness during the production of the article. It is  
a splendid exhibit and a great museum!

[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Tamara P Duvall]

Gentle Spiders,

My own issue - all pages present and correct - arrived yesterday (and 
how Debra manages for people in US, and Europe, and Oz, to get it on 
the same day is a major miracle to me g). Same day as the Canadian 
Lacemaking Gazette (my renewal check went off today, Bev), so there was 
a lot of reading this morning, and I've only gone through half of the 
Bulletin (but made sure Devon's article was in the read half; her 
writing is what makes my day bright... Crab cakes, indeed g). And 
Trenna Ruffners article (on how she got out from having to make a 
wedding hankie, but ended up doing twice the work in the form of a 
wedding fan) was more amusing than usual.


And Debra has done a spectacular job of putting everything together - 
as usual. We are very lucky indeed, to have her do all that donkey's 
work for the love of lace, and I dread the day she decides she's 
burnt out, and refuses to continue as the Editor. Which is why I want 
to remind everyone that any lace magazine, however splendiferous and 
inventive its Editor, depends on general populace for *contents* - 
patterns, articles, ads, announcements... Our previous long-term Editor 
- Julie - was very good too, but didn't get enough serious support; 
there were times when she was so starved for material, she had to cut 
the number of pages of the Bulletin.


The (volunteer) Editor is only as good as her (volunteer) contributors 
are; she puts the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together, but its us who 
have to give her the pieces to play around with.


So if you have an idea - for an article or a pattern, or even a photo - 
don't be shy. Clean it up as much as you can, and submit it. All of us 
will enjoy it, and it'll go some distance towards keeping the Editor 
from getting frazzled and quitting :)

Dear Jean,

I remember complimenting Debra Jenny (Editor) for putting the web address for 
IOLI on *every* page of the bulletin, so we could look up pertinent 
information at any hour of the day or night and from any nation.  If you have 
kept past 
issues, you will see:

www.internationaloldlacers.org

If you go to the web page, you will find *IOLI Bulletin* as a choice about 
half way down the menu on the left.  And when you go to this page, you will 
find 
the address to click on to write to the editor.

It is a lot easier (to me) than looking up eBay listings, and searching for 
other sorts of information on the internet!

Debra is one of the nicest and most reliable officials at IOLI.  She will be 
horrified that there has been an error at the printer's.

[lace] IOLI Bulletin problem (2)

[Jean Nathan]

I got an instant email response direct from Debra, who is sending me another 
copy of the bulletin.


The reason I asked who to contact was because I wasn't sure who actually 
arranged to post the bulletins - it might not have been the editor herself. 
Thanks to those who told me how to contact her. As usual, an immediate 
response from Arachneans with the right information.


Jean in Poole.

I got mine yesterday - it was posted on December 23.  This is much
quicker than last time when some of us in Canada had quite a long wait. 
The
envelope was marked Air Mail this time.  Perhaps it helped.

Malvary in Ottawa where it is supposed to snow/freezing rain later
today, but supposed to go up to +8C tomorrow and rain.  I have about
10cm of ice on my drive from 2 or 3 freezing rain and rain episodes that
we have had over the last couple of weeks.

I got mine in the mail yesterday also.  Sat down
immediately and perused all the convention offerings
for next August.  The rest of the bulletin I digested
more slowly and brought with me to work to look at on
my lunch hour.
