Re: [lace] Lace Guild website update
My only thought is how right after the wedding people in the media were comparing it to Carrickmacross Lace which it actually isn't But the information the RSN gives the media says it is made using Carrickmacross techniques. So the media isn't really at fault here. I can see it, though. When you think about how Carrickmacross is made - well, you use tiny stitches to sew motifs onto a net background. Yes, in traditional Carrickmacross the motifs are blank fabric and then you go around and add in a cordonnet and further decoration as needed, but the basic concept is the same as sewing ready-made motifs onto a net background. So in a way the lace is indeed made with Carrickmacross techniques.

Re: [lace] Lace Guild website update
As someone who does a lot of Carrickmacross, I'm delighted that they are talking about the technique. The explanations from the RSN made sense to me immediately, it didn't concern me that the media were chattering away about it without much idea what they were talking about because we have heard that before with other styles of lace. Arguably all styles of lace. To me, the point is the RSN and Carrickmacross lacemakers and teachers have been given a marvellous profile in this. The press release might have just said the lace was appliqued and left it at that. Now there might be an opportunity to build on the interest and get more people doing lace, which after all is what we really need. I'd be interested to know how many hits the Carrickmacross centre site has had since the wedding and whether there are more enquiries about classes. Do we have anyone on Arachne who is involved at Kenmare, or another school? --- Rochelle Sutherland Lachlan (13 yrs), Duncan (11 yrs) and Iain (10 yrs) www.houseofhadrian.com.au From: Celtic Dream Weaver celticdreamwe...@yahoo.com To: Jean Leader lacema...@q7design.demon.co.uk Cc: arachne lacing lace@arachne.com Sent: Monday, 25 July 2011 3:48 AM Subject: Re: [lace] Lace Guild website update I found this very interesting to read.

Just thought we'd let everyone know that we've updated the Lace Guild website with details of this year's Convention in Swindon. If, like Jean, you didn't get a copy of the convention planner with your latest copy of 'Lace' you'll be able to download it and a booking form from the Convention page. (There was a problem with the mailing house this time.) The Lace Guild Education Committee is working at updating the Guild's records of tutors and have prepared a form which they would like teachers of lacemaking to complete - both those in the UK and any that visit from time to time (you don't have to be a Lace Guild member). The form can be downloaded from the Updating Tutor List page accessed from the Guild page. If you have any money left after Christmas, there is a new Second-hand Book List (under Books on the Suppliers page) with more to come soon. And if you haven't discovered it already you can now buy Lace Guild books, bobbins and CDs online.

[lace] Lace Guild Website Update
We've just done quite an extensive update to the Lace Guild's website, specifically to the Young Lacemakers and Magazine sections. The Young Lacemakers section has been completely refocussed, with a primary aim to provide support to lacemaking in the British school curriculum. However the content may be of interest to those teaching lacemaking to young people elsewhere. The Magazine section includes an article by Jenny Salter, The Lace Guild's Learning and Access Officer, about her work in bringing lace into schools. There is also an article about an exhibition of modern lace, and a free pattern. The url is in the signature. Remember to reload/refresh your browsers if necessary.

We have just done a minor update of The Lace Guild website - some Spring cleaning of the events pages - but we've also put something new on the Young Lacemakers' page. This is a bracelet pattern Gilian Dye used teaching children at the 2004 IOLI Convention (which both Jean and Gilian enjoyed thoroughly) together with a picture of some of the girls modeling lace.

We finally got round to a January tidy of the Lace Guild website. We've mounted a new set of census 'luggage labels' - very international this time - added info on a couple of CDs (no, you can't download tracks from iTunes, they are not that sort of CD), and mounted details of programme for the Lace Guild's Convention at Bristol next April. The Advent Calendar was taken down and stowed away with the Christmas decorations, but we're accepting contributions and quiz ideas for the next one now.

Re: [lace] Lace Guild Website Update
In reply to our query: The usual diary info update will follow at the end of month. I have this nagging feeling there's something else we should have been preparing. Let us know if any of you can think of it. Several people wrote: Advent-calendar That's what it was. Thanks for reminding us, but there isn't much time left now. I guess we'll just have to see if we can throw anything together. Let you know tomorrow.

[lace] Lace Guild Website Update
Summer's almost gone, and we've now updated The Lace Guild website (address in the signature). As well as the usual new event listings, we've made revisions to the suppliers pages and updated our own prices following changes in postal rates. Of more general interest is the featuring of articles from the July issue of 'Lace' - one on Turkish needlelace from Gwynedd Roberts, and an article by Arachne's own Sue Babbs. The Young Lacemakers' section also has new material, although the French version is awaiting translation. Finally, we would draw UK members' attention to the change in dates and venue for the Lace Guild's 2005 Convention, details of which are on the site. Let us know of any problems (after refreshing/reloading your browser if you still see the old pages).

[lace] Lace Guild Website update
We have just mounted an update to The Lace Guild's web page with extracts and a pattern from the April issue of 'Lace'. The three extracts include pieces by two Arachne list members. First, you have a chance to read about and see Miriam Gidron's fan. Then you can read an extract of the article Jean wrote about her 'An Introduction to Bedfordshire Lace' book. And, once again, the web gives you added value: the butterfly illustrated on the web is not the one used in the magazine article, but 'Sarah's Butterfly', the one she named for our granddaughter, who was one year old last week.

[lace] Lace Guild Website Update
Only the 10th of the month (by the time this reaches you) but another quite extensive update to the Lace Guild's website: 1. More stuff relating to the Myth or Mystery Exhibition - The Catalogue and The Commemorative Bobbins are now mounted (you can buy them too) and details of the overflow display of entries at The Hollies. 2. Details of the 2005 Calendar (you can buy this too). 3. Details of the new Membership Bobbins and Christmas 2004 Bobbin (shop early!). I also have an apology to those who couldn't get past the first page of the Census Luggage Labels. I'd coded this in Javascript (easier for me) but if you are accessing the web from work it is possible that some well-meaning idiot has disabled Javascript. (Your home machine will be ok as all browsers default to scripting 'on'.) I may put up a single non-javascript page which will take a week to load but will allow the patient to see the contributions. But not soon. Still got the April (sic) Lace mag to mount, but you can't have everything at once.

We have just mounted an update to The Lace Guild's web page with extracts and a pattern from the January issue of 'Lace'. One of the reasons for posting mag extracts on the web is that one can use more colour than the magazine can, and this update takes full advantage of that with colour photos of some of Pat Rowley's exquisite Victorian fans and of some very stylish lace hats that Bristol Lace Group made for Ladies Day at Ascot (although we're not sure that they wore them there).

If I remember the conversations correctly the hats were made for an exhibition that was on for some time, including during Ascot, but I don't think that the hats were worn at Ascot. -- He who dies with the most of anything, is still dead.
