[lace] Looking for a source of netting for embroidery

[Penelope Piip]

Hi,

I am searching for a source of netting (6 squares to the inch) for 
embroidery.


I found www.filetlace.net but unfortunately the website has closed down 
from 29th February until September.


Does anyone know where I might find some, or have a piece that I could 
buy from them?


Otherwise I might have to make my own.

Thanks,

Penelope

Re: [lace] looking for native German proofreader

[yhgr . jfp]

Someone has been very helpful and the German introduction is now integrated 
with the otherwise English website. The German (and Dutch) intro page can be 
found in the sidebar of

https://d-bl.github.io/GroundForge/help/

Speaking of "otherwise English", that is also a second language and I might be 
overconfident. It is a lot more than just an intro so I hardly dare to ask. 
Whoever feels like fixing spelling and grammar of fractions is welcome. Same 
for asking questions where ever I'm clear as mud.

[lace] looking for native German proofreader

[jo]

Hello German spiders



I tried to write a German version of the introduction page for my freely
available lace ground generator. No installation required. The rest of the
site will remain English only.



As I needed a mix of google translate and some personal experience with the
language, I would very much appreciate if someone is willing to correct my
grammar and terminology. It is about 600 words. Starting with the line
“Experimentieren mit geklöppelte Gründe” on
https://github.com/jo-pol/GroundForge/blob/de-intro/docs/help/DE.md

[lace] Looking for Catherine Brown

[Clare Lewis]

Hello,

I don't know if anybody can help me but I am trying to contact Catherine
Brown who, I believe, is a New Zealander; she makes excellent needlelace.
If anybody knows Catherine or can contact her please could they either ask
her to contact me or contact me themselves to give them a message to give
to Catherine.

Hope that is not too cryptic.

Thanks,
Clare

[lace] looking for Ann Dix

[Susan McKinnell]

I am hoping this works as it is my first post to Arachne.  Anyway, I 
believe it was on this list I saw someone mention a bobbin lacer named 
Ann Dix.  I am wondering if this is the same Ann Dix who wrote many 
Scottish Country Dances, such as Culla Bay?  I am interested as I have 
been doing SCD for 23 years now and started bobbin lace just a couple of 
years ago.

Thank you, Sue McKinnell, Chicago, USA

[lace] Looking for assistance on bobbin lace pattern

[Valhalla Bee Farm]

Good morning, all.

Seems like I contact this list only when I need something.
Sort of like the child only phoning home when they need money.

LOL  : )

I do read all the posts.  Not able to participate much since I am
a shop owner and very involved in my husband’s bee business.

Today, I am looking for help with a pattern from a book:
“75 Quick & Easy Bobbin Lace Patterns” by Veronica Sorenson.
This book is in the library belonging to the Lincoln Lacemakers and
possibly originally belonged to Cristina Banyard who has passed away.

The pattern is on page 48 - "Tommy Tortoise” designed by Karen Williams.
Would love any and all suggestions on making this pattern.  Two of
the ladies I have taught some very basic torchon lace to would like
to make it.  I’m not very good at starts.  Really should take a class
at convention sometime on starts and finishes.  But I see that there
isn’t one at this year’s convention. : (

We are looking at enlarging the pattern and using a heavier thread,
LizBeth sz 80 since I carry that in my shop and would prefer not to
use a thread as fine as the pattern recommends.

Correct me if I am wrong, but couldn’t the outlining be done in a
tape lace fashion - whole stitch, cloth stitch, whole stitch?
If left to my own knowledge, I would start with the longest tape going
along the outside edge of the turtle.  Then doing each of the shorter
tapes joining in to the outside edge and/or each other.

We would probably use more simple fillings due to the limited
experience of the two beginners.  Probably spiders, maybe rose ground

Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

[lace] Looking for a book?

[Brian Lemin]

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the book, "Fuseaux Normands"

 

I have no more information that that. no author, no publisher. nothing.
sorry.

 

I do have an excellent photograph of bobbins from the book and I was
wondering if the book has more pictures?

 

Once I had about 7 year old French, now I only remember the rude words!
Typical!  I say that as I will use a translator if you write to me in

[lace] Looking for a pattern

[Susan]

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question Ann-Marie, but I can see why 
you are attracted to the star!  Very modern, effective use of half stitch that 
looks almost 3D, like an upturned, fancy Bundt cake pan.  My initial reaction 
is that could it be Czech?  I recently saw some work by Brona Bacilkova on 
LACEIOLI/ning & some elements seemed similar.  Some Arachnids know her.  Best 
wishes.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA

Re: [lace] Looking for a pattern

[AGlez]

The pattern is beautiful! I haven't seen this exact one, but it reminds me
a lot to Brigitte Bellon's patterns. She has a few books on Christmas
motifs. I have two or three and this star is not in them. So...it can be
that this design is another book I do not know or it is a mixture of
designs made by a particular lacemaker.

I don't have my lace books with me now, so cannot check for sure. Perhaps
someone else knows...

Best wishes from Antje, in sunny Spain.

Hello all,

[lace] Looking for an antique/vintage bobbin with initials and a date?

[Brian Lemin]

Something like: cb 1828.

 

I have plenty with initials only and indeed dates, but not initials and
dates on the same bobbin 

(See Freeman page 35)

 

Drop me a note if you can help.

 

Many thanks.

 

Dictionary is making good progress.  Decided to make the Honiton/East Devon
as part two of the Dictionary, might include other non-East Midland types..
Not sure yet.

 

All this searching of my data Base for this dictionary has revealed that I
have written 44 articles on lace bobbins/equipment topics over the years.
That was a real surprise to me.  Quite few of the early ones were in
collaboration with this lists members.  :)  Those were the days!

[lace] looking for Ros Hills

[Devon Thein]

I am proposing a contemporary lace exhibit to a small museum. The exhibit
will consist of only art made with bobbin lace and needle lace. I have
always loved the work of Ros Hills. In particular, I like her pieces
pictured in the Pat Earnshaw book called Needlelace. part of the Merehurst
Embroidery Series. The works pictured are "I am woman" and "Summer in
India".
Does anyone have contact information for Ros Hills or for someone who might
own one of her works, especially the location of the two works I mentioned.

[lace] Quote about needle lace - looking for a book

[Meghann McCrory]

Hello -
I have not posted before but am grateful for this resource as an artist who
studies lace and weaving.

In doing some research, at some point I came across a book about lace
making that was (I think) quite old - early 20th century or even late 19th
century - I believe it was written by a woman.  The preface of the book was
an amazing defense of the importance of the needle.   She writes that the
needle is better (or maybe stronger?) than the sword as it creates and does
not destroy and almost issues a charge to lay down arms in favor of the
weaving arts.

I have searched and searched for this quote and found similar statements
but am looking specifically for this preface, and the larger quote.

I know this is a long shot but thought that on the slim chance someone here
knows this book, it would be worth a try given how much knowledge and
experience among the members here.

Thank you!

Thanks,

I have an unusual quest.

A lace maker from Hungary would like to come to the Waddesden events.
She would like to take my Intro to Wire Bobbin Lace Work shop and
attend the Lace Symposium.

I am looking for a lace maker who lives in England, speaks Hungarian
and would be able to attend. There is some immediacy in this request
as the workshop is Sept 10-11-12 and the symposium on the 13th.

Sincerely

Re: [lace] looking for pattern

[Clay Blackwell]

Hi Marianne,

I went through my books, including Anne Collier's book, and did not see a 
pattern for an Angel.  However, in Collier's book, the costumes are period 
costumes, and have capes and collars, etc, which might seem somewhat angelic if 
you weren't sure what you were looking at.

Likewise, the other Needle Lace books and miniature lace books that I looked 
through did not have an angel either.  Perhaps you were working from a special 
pattern that was sold individually by the designer?  I have a pattern like this 
(in bobbin lace) that is meant to be completed with a painted wooden head and 
pipe-cleaner body.

Clay

Good luck on your search!

RE: [lace] looking for pattern

[Marianne Gallant]

Hmmm, makes me wonder where I got the pattern. It definitely looks like wings 
with the design, though I had not yet outlined them, but I had started on the 
skirt, and there are beads added near the hem. 
But since it doesn't seem to be in any of the books, I am going to have to do 
some more searching. I do have a few guild magazines and newsletters from when 
I belonged to the lace guild in another town back in the early 90's, and if I 
don't find it in there, I'll have to go through my many years of Anna magazine.
Thanks for looking

Lace in Miniature by Ann Collier is a book of patterns for dressing dolls.

[lace] Looking through

[Celtic Dream Weaver]

 a bunch of my older Lace magazines yesterday and being they are not recent
issues...it was like looking at a new issue of Lace . LOL. I had forgotten
alot of stuff that was in the older issues. Like I saw the picture of the
Binche Thistle again I was inquiring about last week...and I saw where fellow
lacer Diana Blackburn made Miss Channer's Lace Mat and was the winner of the
Val Gurney Trophy award. She did a small article how that that mat came to
fruitation. There were alot of great patterns and alot of great articles. 
  
I also found it sad to read how many lacers have died and the stories of their
lives. There seems to be so many lacers have gone on to Lace Heaven. I hope
there are many younger lacers that have taken their place to carry on the
knowledge of how to make lace and how rewarding a finish piece of lace can
feel. I love the feel of touching my own finished lace pieces. So light and
delicate they are...and they make my eyes smile at the beauty. 
   Take out
your old issue of your different lace magazines and see if you get lost like I
did yesterday in LacingLand.

[lace] Looking for a bobbin maker

[Celtic Dream Weaver]

I have a bobbin that I used to paint my bobbins that I sold years ago. I
would like a lot of this bobbin turned. I have one bobbin that is not painted
but it has a spiral groove that I do not want...but can be used as a
prototype. I am writing here to see if there are any bobbin makers on the list
here that could make these for me or could give me some ideas on how I could
get these bobbins made. I could also send a picture of the one bobbin.
   On
another note...I. am just about done painting turkey bobbins. I will probably
put a picture up on my blog eventually.

[lace] Looking for pattern information

[Tess Parrish]

I have a pricking of a pattern by Riet de Vries dated 1991.  It is an imaginary 
face done in what looks to me like Russian techniques, though I could be wrong 
about that.  I seem to have scribbled a few notes in French on the back of the 
pricking, but otherwise I have no idea where I got it. It measures about 
9/24cm square and is delightfully ornate.  It is probably something from one 
of the lace magazines I subscribed to at that time or later, but that's just a 
guess.  If anyone has an idea of where I might have gotten it I would really 
appreciate the information, as I would like to have a few clues as to work it.  
I can easily send a picture of it if contacted privately.

Thanks so much.

[lace] Looking for a pattern

[Tess Parrish]

Arachne is remarkable!  Not only did I get several emails from helpful friends, 
but one of them had actually made the lace and had won a prize with it!  She 
told me that it was published in La Dentelle, hence my notes in French, and 
also in Lace Express.
Thanks to all who wrote me and all the rest who are on Arachne and always ready 
to help all of us.

Now to get to work and make it at last.  It has been sitting on my drawer since 
1994!

Never ever through anything out.
Firstly give or sell them to other lacemakers in your area. Many lace 
guilds or groups have a mechanism to recycling old magazines / books etc 
to newer members be it a sign at a lace day saying 'free to a good home' 
or selling them for a small cost and using the money for library books.

Secondly many OP shops will accept them and sell them on to interested 
parties. my knitting group always goes there for extra knitting needles 
and old knitting patterns.

Thirdly donate them to a local school or church group for their annual 
fair, most have a secondhand or preloved table with books and other bits 
and pieces. I once bought a huge selection of tatting patterns at a 
charity fair (these were taken from magazines and on the surface did not 
look good but the patterns were lovely).

Forthly offer to send out a list of what you have (ie we contact you 
privately) and if we want them then we can pay you the postage for your 
magazines.

Finally there is ebay

 Hi,

 I was going over some old lace magazines and was wondering what you are
 doing with them. Do they end up in the recycling bin or do you give them to
 other lace makers.

 I have so many magazines and I want to down size a bit. To tell the truth
 many are already old fashioned. There are so many new ideas around that
 these magazines are just  passe.

[lace] Looking at Gallery at IOLI website and entering State fair competition

[Celtic Dream Weaver]

It is kinda funny seeing a picture of the delicious cake that we gorged
ourselves on at Ithaca Lace Day Weekend banquet.  Believe it or not...I still
have the candied bobbin and shuttle that I took home with me that night. This
was years ago...I don't remember the year. I just think it is kinda funny.
  
Also I have never entered anything in our state fair but I have taken the
first step in doing so . I have registered my Thistle Bookmark and I am
entering it in the competiton. Awaiting my tag right now so I can sent it it.
Feel kinda funny about it...not sure it will be good enough to win...but I am
going to try. Wish me luck with that. Our state fair for New York is the Labor
Day Weekend.

Good luck with your bookmark, Sherry!

I've entered work for a show only once or twice, and it is a bit
daunting - but it's worth it to see your own work on show with
everyone else's.  I told myself that my work was the one which would
make everyone else feel better - I could do better than that!  VBG
But I got nice comments from the judges so I felt good.

Your bookmark looks great in your photos, and I bet it looks even
better in real life.

[lace] Looking for a pattern Christine Springett

[Celtic Dream Weaver]

   I finally was able to have my VHS tape converted to DVD. I am so happy. I
don't feel bad about it since it was my VHS tape that I bought years ago. So
today I was watching it and there was so many techniques I had forgotten
about. This is why I have been wating to get this tape on DVD. The tape is
Bedfordshire 11 intermediate. What I am wondering about is a book mark she
shows on how to add pairs to the trail where it is adding of the pairs is not
noticiable. The bookmark has many tally leaves making squares using tallies in
the bookmark. I am wondering if anybody happens to know where the pattern for
the bookmark is found. I would like to make the bookmark for I feel it will
help me in doing the tallies. I might make a few of the bookmarks. The
bookmark is perfect for talling practice. You can send me the info off list to
my email address in the signature. Thank you in advance for whatever help you
can give to me. I do think this DVD is one that
 I will keep refering too while making Bedfordshire Lace.

[lace] Looking into Frank W. Newborn and daughter

[Celtic Dream Weaver]

I would really  love to be in contact with Frank's daughter. It might be a bit
harder for me on this side of the pond but maybe someone can contact her some
how. I wonder if she belongs to any guilds for instance. Does someone that
lives near Tickhill Doncaster South Yorkshire maybe they can give a call. I
would like to interview her I think. I would like to write something up and
also include in the write up what Frank's life was like. What did he do for a
living...how he got into making things out of silver...what other things he
has made and so on. I think it would be fun to do a write up on a man that
obviously was a giving person...like giving me a silver bobbin when he has
never met me before. Does his daughter tat? You know stuff. Who knows it could
end up being a great article for the Lace Magazine.  Or in the IOLI
Bullentin...I would like to follow this through and see where it takes meI
would appreciate any help from fellow Lacemakers.

[lace] Looking for Frank Newborn

[Jane Partridge]

Reading through what you had written, gave me the impression that this 
was not a young man, and doing a Google search has brought up Frank W 
Newborn, the son of a Tickhill farmer (there is a very interesting write 
up about their lives on the farm on a family history site), Frank S 
Newborn. His father eventually sold up on retirement, but there was a 
forge on the farm which suggests he could have gained an interest in 
metalwork, and most likely wouldn't have become a farmer himself. Some 
of his photos are shown in an article about the school they went to. The 
other page the search brings up is for an obituary in a Doncaster 
(Yorkshire) newspaper, that he had died aged 90 (so born c1921) at the 
end of April, 2011.


You can look up the hall mark on the shuttle, which will give you clues 
as to where it might have been made (ie the nearest Assay Office), and 
possibly the year (date letter). Doncaster isn't very far from 
Sheffield, which is well known for its steel, silver-plate and to a 
lesser extent, silver, industry, so it is quite possible that a lad 
looking for work in that area would have gone into one of the factories. 
I can vaguely remember, some years ago (?early 1990s), a company making 
silver bobbins, but can't remember who they were. The idea was that they 
would make someone a special present, rather than be working bobbins! 
They either attended one of the Lacemakers fairs, or advertised in Lace 
(the Guild's magazine) at the time. If I get chance I'll go through my 
back issues and see if I can find anything.

was given only to a few people.

RE: [lace] Looking for Frank Newborn

[Maureen]

Hi

I am not sure whether Sheffield was a silver hallmarking town/city, but
Birmingham certainly is.  I think (and am happy to be corrected if I am
wrong) that items of silver where sent to certain towns to be hallmarked and
it would have been possible for Birmingham to have been used for the
Doncaster area.   Birmingham is about 2 hours travel (by today standards)
from Doncaster.   Mind you it is about 35 minutes travel (again by todays
standards) from Hull but I am not sure of Hull was a centre for hallmarking.

Yes you are right there was someone making silver bobbins, as well as brass
and possibly gold as well, who used to attend the Christmas Fair at
Birmingham but I haven't seen him about for a few years.  It could have been
as long ago as 10 years even.  He also used to make gold and silver bobbin
necklaces and earrings.  I know that I was tempted but either didn't have
the money at the time or maybe had already spent up.   Anyway I don't have
any.  He possibly advertised in the Lace Guild mag but I can't remember
that.

Re: [lace] Looking for Frank Newborn

Hi Spiders All,
 
I think there was a company called 'Ladlow' or Laidlow' or something similar, 
quite a few years ago - which may be the company searched for.   I am not at 
home at the moment, so I can't look up bavck copies of 'Lace', but I am sure 
they were called something like that.

[lace] Looking for Frank W. Newborn

[Celtic Dream Weaver]

Well...I have just about tore my house apart. I did have an email from him
back in 2002. Frank had been to my website and was looking at the shuttle I
had on my website and was surprise to see the silver shuttle he made back in
the day. He was so surprised that he send me an email wanting to know how I
got it here in New York since he didn't make very many and he made them for
special people.  I had told him that there was someone who still had family in
England and would go there to purchase items and bring them back to the states
and put them in an antique shop we no longer have. This person knew that I
tatted and was looking for shuttle and bobbins since I also do that. One time
she had this shuttle that Frank had made. On the shuttle has his
markings...FWN and also the assey marks. He told me in the email that he
wanted to gift me one of his silver bobbins which he did send to me along with
information as to what the assey marks stood for on the
 shuttle and bobbin. 
   The assay mark is the Tudor Rose..standing for
Sheffield, Lion for silver and...a T standing for 1993. The only reason why
I know this is because in the letter he sent to me along with the bobbin he
explained what the markings mean. My letter was dated 2002. 
   You are right
Jane and thank you for all of your information you have sent to me his address
was Tickhill Donchaster, South Yorkshire. It is too bad he has passed on. I
would have loved to be able to write to him again. I will cherish the letter
he wrote to me and I am grateful to have the silver shuttle and the bobbin he
made and gave to me. It sure is funny how small the world is. I will also say
that I know in the Shuttle  book done by Pam Palmer there is a picture of my
shuttle and also there is a small tatting book that shows my shutttle as well
as a picture of a silver shuttle he made for his daughter. The shuttle he made
for his daughter is beautiful. The shuttle is opened worked in a tatted motif
design. I would appreciate any information you can find on him. Please send to
me whatever information you can find on Frank. It would be nice to see if I
can some how connect with his daughter whom he make the one intricate shuttle
for. That
 would be the icing on the cake to be able to find out more information on
him. 
   Now back to tearing my house apart...As I mentioned ...he sent me an
email back them. I know my computer ( Hal who was named after the computer in
2001 movie) died. But I have since found a picture I took of the printed email
that I must have printed and know there is no way I would have thrown it
out...It camed to my Yahoo mail and I should have realized that since he used
the email address that is located on my home website page. ...so I must have
deleted it somehow...but the paper email is here...I just know it...I wouldn't
have thrown it away...I do have a picture of the email...but is is a bit
blurred. I can read it...but I wanted the printed email to put with my other
information he sent to me. As I explained before I was going to take it all to
my next guild meetin to tell the story and show my shuttle and bobbin and mine
and Frank's correspondence. I am like a dog looking for a bone though...and I
am going to keep looking for it. 
   Thank you to all who have responded to my
enqiry into Frank W. Newborn. Much appreciated.

the  info on the markings of silver in England. I have kept that letter he
sent to me by snail mail and the bobbin. His original email he sent to me I
can't find...so I am wondering if I lost it years ago my Hal my old computer
died around 2002 or there abouts. I spent alot of time seeing if I could hunt
it down since some of my old
 email I did keep back when...but can't find it. I would like to contact him
if anybody can help me. He must deal with silver. I also remember seeing im in
a old tatting booklet too...I believe in it he mentioned he had also made his
daughter a shuttle too. My lace group on hearing me tell my story at our last
meeting thought it would make a great show and tell ...but I can't find the
email. I would like to be able to contact him. Thank you in advance to anyone
that can help me.

[lace] Looking for bobbin lace teacher in Central London SW7

[Susan Khiar]

Hello,

I  am (was) an advanced beginner, who put down my bobbins 8 years ago, when my 
two children were born.  I'd like to pick up where I left off.  I moved to 
London last year with my husband and children, but haven't been able to connect 
with anyone in London.  

Does anyone know of a lace teacher, guild, or group that I could join?  While I 
am in SW7/South Kensington (a stone's throw from the VA), I'd gladly travel a 
little to get back to throwing my bobbins again.

Many thanks for your help and advice.

Kind regards,

Susan Khiar

I am looking for the Bulletin of the IOLI, Volume 21, Number 1 (Fall

I have that issue of the IOLI Bulletin and will be pleased to copy the
page for you if you are a member of IOLI.  Are you? I believe it would be
illegal, or at least unethical, for me to do otherwise.  If you aren't a
member, why don't you join?  It is a marvelous organization and
encompasses all sorts of laces. Happy Lacemaking, Betty Ann RiceRoanoke,

Hello Ann-Marie
I have an issue of Kant with a pattern similar to the one you are
looking for, shown on the cover of Kant, June 2010, No. 2. It is an
edging for a round mat, with the tulip motifs, designed by Anne-Marie
Verbeke-Billiet, 2008.
They also have it illustrated as a fan.
Does this help?

Re: [lace] Looking for Halloween Lace Patterns

[robinlace]

This year's IOLI pattern CD includes a Hallowe'en cat.  It's a simple tape with 
leaves for eyes.  The original is black with orange eyes, but you could do the 
eyes with glow-in-the-dark thread if you want it spookier.  If you belong to an 
IOLI Charter group, they should have received their copy by now, even if nobody 
went to convention.

[lace] Looking for bead photographs

[Brian Lemin]

You know that my wife and a certain Arachne member are waving a big stick at 
me to get my Bobbin Dictionary done.  Well, with the data base of pictures 
that I have, I never dreamt that I would  need to ask friends for such a 
large amount of help in supplying me with photographs.  But here I am in 
begging mode again and I am thinking not for the last time.


Could it be that one of you folk have an interest in beads (Ideally 
antique beads, that is not a requirement as those beads have not changed 
over the years.)  I got my list of bead entries from Christine Springetts 
book on Spangles and Superstitions.  I think that what I am asking for is a 
coloured picture of each of the beads that she mentions!!!  I know I am 
cheeky, but this one is a bit of a doozy!


Is there anyone that this request might actually be of  interest to them and 
they would enjoy doing it?


I do not want it to be a chore for anyone who volunteers.  I know myself 
that there are some things that I love doing and other things that are hard 
going.


They could be part of a spangle or an individual bead.  Photos would need to 
be fairly close up but not super macro.  If you have a sharp scanner, 
...that does the job quite well... usually  Scan at about 150 pixels per 
inch


What do you think?  Could it be you?  Thank you at least for thinking about 
it.  :)


Drop me a note off list and if I am inundated (!) with volunteers we can 
split the book up or complete it in some way between volunteers.


I just thought of something that I could do in return for a person doing 
this.  I will replace all the pictures in the Superstitions book with 
their coloured pictures and send her/him either a hard copy or an electronic 
copy of it. (just the volunteer or I could be in trouble!)


No particular time frame but say within 4 to 6 weeks?  Does that sound 
reasonable?


Thanks... now back to begging letters to my very long suffering  friendly 
bobbin collectors.

[lace] Looking for an image (again!!!!) Rare this time.

[Brian Lemin]

One of the Arachne members has goaded me into finishing off my Dictionary of
Antique English Lace Bobbins.  I have worked on it for years now and then do
nothing.

I have worked out a schedule to spend an hour a day editing it, mostly
updating copyrighted images with my own permission granted images.  I am
stuck for a picture of one type of bobbin.  I have exhausted my collector
friends so now I am asking you for help.

The entry is as follows:

Birdcage bobbin.
An East Midland's bobbin with long openings, or windows in the sides through
which the contents of the windows can be seen.  These windows were usually
pierced after the bobbin is turned .  Fine brass wire is wound spiral fashion
round the shank to cover the openings, each strand of wire is slightly spaced
from the next so that the contents within the windows on the shank can be seen
through the cage wire but not fall out.  The contents can be seeds, beads,
or other objects.  There may be single or multiple cages in the shank.


Basically it is a mother and babe bobbin (perhaps balls inside the piercings)
and the babe or balls are actually kept in by wire wrapped around the arches
and spaces.

It could be a Birdcage in the middle of the shank or sort of the full length
of the shank.

The 16 babe bobbin  that was a topic of ours a week or so ago is the same
type as I am describing, but it is not an antique bobbin unfortunately

My current illustration is from Luton Museum and I do not have their
permission to use it commercially.

So, do you or any of your friends have a bobbin that has the babes  or balls
kept in the cage by means of wire being wrapped around the shank.
please? ...and.. are you or they, willing let me have a picture of it use in
the dictionary?  It would be ok even if it is a metal bobbin (i.e. brass)
These often had the wire cage.  I suspect the the metal bobbins used it as
they could not squeeze in the babes on a metal bobbin as easy as they could in
wood or bone, and so the gaps had to be larger, and thus the possibility of
the babes falling out.

[lace] looking for thread

[tess parrish]

Can Goldschild thread be found in the US?  I have started a torchon  
mat and am afraid that the one spool of 50/3 1/2 white is not going to  
be quite enough.  I know it can be bought in Germany--that's probably  
where I got it--but couldn't seem to find any listed here.  I would  
appreciate any ideas, probably privately, as I'm sure this one request  
is not of interest to the whole list.

Thanks so much for any tips you might suggest.

Hi Tess and everyone

As it happens, the answer would interest me, our one supplier in
Canada for this thread is closing business. Maybe her successor will
carry it. In the meantime I recall that Goldschild is marketed as
Londonderry 'here' - a quick google pulled up quite a few sources of
Londonderry 50/3. Nordic Needle, for instance.

Should be ok?

If you go here...
http://celticdreamweave.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
you can see my Louise Colgan Butterfly that I made from her Milanese DVD. The 
DVD makes a wonderful teacher. Everything is very well explained step by step 
on 
the DVD. I think you should be able to get it from Holly Van Sciver or the 
Lacemaker. I don't remember it being very expensive either. I have also made 
the 
Milanese Heart that is also a pattern of Louise. NOw if I could just get her 
Milanese Angel pattern that would be so great. Does she have any new Lace 
Milanese books out that I don't know about. I love Milanese for all of its 
braids.
   I am really excited...I will be going and staying in Ithaca, New York 
during Columbus Weekend and I will be taking a wire bobbin lace jewelry class 
being taught by Josee' Poupart. It should be fun and right up to something I 
will enjoy doing. I have two dozen alumium bobbins my husband made for me at 
his 
job he doesn't have anymore for me to use with wire. I will try them out 
finally 
and see how they are. They should make beautiful happy tinkling music as I lace.

When we looked at the College of Wooster in 2004, for our son,  there was an

[lace] Looking for a lace-reporter in Ohio

[Tamara P Duvall]

Gentle Spiders,

So, yesterday afternoon, Devon sent a (private) message:

 I was having one of my long to-do's with Lyn Baily of Lancaster, PA, on the 
 subject of lace in early America, which is, like early America, a pretty 
 unexplored region. [...] Lyn continued to surf the internet and came up with 
 this intriguing hit. There is a person, employed by Arrogant Frenchman 
 Productions http://www.arrogantfrenchman.com/ who is going to impersonate an 
 exiled French lace merchant, who has fled the French Revolution and is going 
 to try to help out people in the colonies by employing them in lacemaking and 
 selling to the gentlefolk. But he has yet to make the latter's acquaintance. 
 This is to happen at Colonial Williamsburg on Oct. 2 and 3, 9-5. I feel 
 certain that there is the germ of an article for the Bulletin in this. I just 
 don't know how to capitalize on it. I don't think I can go to Wiliamsburg. I 
 don't know if he would want to write an article. Any thoughts?
 
 http://www.pinetreebarn.com/williamsburgfestival/distinguishedguests.html#lacemaker
  describes the character that is being assumed for this day.
 
 http://www.flickr.com/photos/arrogantfrenchman/sets/72157603580376569/ 
 actually has pictures of him making bobbin lace and strips of bobbin lace.

Williamsburg is too far for me to make a one day trip and still observe an 
exhibit closely enough to report on, so I passed it on to Our Woman in 
Williamsburg, Su Carter (BTW, all the people mentioned here -- Devon, Lyn, and 
Su -- are Arachneans; isn't it nice?). Who promptly replied:

 Not here!!! It's in Ohio:
 
 Pine Tree Barn
 4374 Shreve Road
 Wooster, Ohio 44691
 
 Sat Oct. 2  Sun., Oct 3
 Colonial Williamsburg Festival - Colonial militia living history encampment, 
 the finest in Ohio artists and crafts, music, “proper” food, and 
 presentations on Decorating Williamsburg Style, including floral 
 demonstrations. All licensed Williamsburg products 10% off. Handcrafted 18th 
 c. furniture on sale.[...]
 
 Sorry, can we find someone in Wooster, Ohio -- I'd love to hear a good report 
 . . .

I'm planning to retire as the BL Editor of the Bulletin as soon as possible, 
but I too would like to see a report of the not-so-arrogant-anymore Frenchman 
pushing lacemaking into America (if no longer The Colonies g), so I took 
myself off to the IOLI Directory. There is an IOLI member in Wooster listed, 
but I don't know her. And my grasp of Ohio's geography is too weak to determine 
whether Our Woman in Ohio (Ruth Rocker) is within a reasonable driving 
distance of the event...

Ruth? Or anyone else in Ohio? Any chance someone could go, take some photos and 
write a report for the Bulletin?

Re: [lace] Looking for a book title/author

[A . González]

Hello Lorri,

The book you mention is 101 Torchon Patterns, by Robin Lewis-Wild. I
cannot give you more details, because my book is the Spanish translation of
the original. So, the publisher is not the same as the English book.

Best regards..

Antje González, in Guadalajara, Spain.

[lbuyred]

I could have sworn that I owned this book, but now I can't seem to find it in 
my bookshelf.  I must have borrowed it from the guild library.  In any case I 
have found it on Holly Van Sciver's web site.  The link below will take you 
there but you will have to scroll down about 11 or 12 rows to find it.  It is 
also on Amazon but it is wildy expensive.

There is also a copy on ebay.co.uk.

But the postage cost may kill that one.

[lace] Looking for a book title/author

[Lorri Ferguson]

I have been given a photo copy of some pages of a beginning Torchon book.  The
Chapter titles seem to be:
1. Color Key,   2. Color Key Samples,   3. Edgings,   4. Insertions,   5.
Corners,   6. Book Marks,   7. Medallions

The book has at least 127 pages, and is about 8.5 x 11 inches (the photo
copied pages fill this size anyway).

I would really like to know the title and author of this book.

Hoping a gentle spider somewhere is familiar with it and can enlighten me,
Lorri

[lace] Looking for tatted alphabet

[Patsy A. Goodman]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for an elegant/fancy alphabet to tat. Something that can be 
appliquéd on
a t-shirt or blouse for a monogram.  Possibly found on the internet and 
Free.
I have found one in Rebecca Jones book of Tatting but it is too plain for 
what I'm
looking for.  Also one in Julia E. Sanders book of Tatting Patterns, again 
too plain.

Can any of you point me in the right direction?

[lace] Looking for a pattern

[Mark Myers]

I am looking for a sailboat pattern or maybe a light house pattern.  Nothing
too involved.  Fairly simple.  I am wanting to make something for my dad for
Father¹s day which is next month.  So don¹t have too long of a time to
complete.  He is into sailboats and nautical stuff.  If you know of a book
or picture of a sailboat, let me know.  If there isn't such a pattern, I may
have to design my own. ;)

Thanks,

Mark (and everyone on the lace list)
I think you *should* design your own. You did it with the gecko, you can do
it with a lighthouse shape or sailboat. Go for it!

Re: [lace] Looking for a pattern

[Brenda Paternoster]

Hi Mark

One of Eeva-Lisa Khortelahti's books has a pattern like that.  

It's the first of her books that I took frpm the shelf!
Nyplatkaamme - Let's Make Bobbin Lace.
Three BL pics of boats with sails; torchon but with differences but her 
patterns are so well drawn that all the instructions are there and you learn a 
lot from working one of them.

Nothing too involved.

If you want it not too involved, a sailboat would be easy.  A plait for the 
mast, curve-edged triangle(s) in half stitch for the sail(s), cloth stitch for 
the hull.  You can have one or more stripes of color along the hull and if you 
work back-to-front (aft-to-fore?) you can end the hull with a braid for the bow.

If you want to get fancier and are mounting it on fabric, you can add a few 
swirls of blue around and under the hull.

Re: [lace] Looking for lace group/teacher near East Chester, NY

[Regina Haring]

The Metro Chapter of IOLI is the closest group to Eastchester in 
Westchester County, New York, and we would be happy to welcome your friend. 
Our meetings and classes are held in Bergen County, NJ, where Gunvor 
Jorgensen lived and taught for many years.


Meetings are usually in a home in the Westwood area of Bergen, and classes 
are offered in Ridgewood. Apparently this is about a 45 minute trip from 
Eastchester, and I'm not sure whether (a) going south to the George 
Washington Bridge and then northwest to Westwood or Ridgewood, or (b) going 
north in Westchester to the Tappan Zee Bridge and then south to the meeting 
and class places - would be an easier or shorter trip. Actually these 
locations in Bergen County are roughly due west of Eastchester, and if we 
could only devise another way to cross the Hudson River, the trip would be 
much shorter - as it is it depends on the hour and the traffic.


Our Lace Days in Westwood are November 7 and 8 this year, with vendors, 
demos and an exhibit on Saturday and classes on Sunday. Perhaps your friend 
could visit us at that time - we'd love to meet her.


Someone recently commented about the fact that conventions were never held 
in this area, but actually the 50th anniversary convention of IOLI was held 
at the Hilton Hotel in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ in 2003, and the hosts were the 
Metro Chapter, Lost Art Lacers of Sussex, NJ and the Cranberry Lacers of NJ.


I am aware that there are some gals who gather to make lace in NYC with a 
teacher, and I believe that they use the Spanish vertical lace pillow - they 
are not connected with IOLI.

Re: [lace] Looking for lace group/teacher near East Chester, NY

My impression is that they may be a Spanish speaking group. We heard  
about them when we were demonstating in NY but I have no idea how to  
contact them. If anyone ever figures this out, I would be interested  
to hear.

[lace] Looking for a tatter

[Jane Nelson]

Good evening everyone -
My husband and I, one daughter and two grandchildren recently drove  
from Lincoln, NE
to the Iowa State Fair and the Illinois State Fair.  The trip was  
mainly for the purpose of
judging the honey division at those respective fairs.  But with some  
family along, we made

it also a vacation.  What a great time we had.

At the Illinois State Fair I reacquainted with a lady I had met last  
year who watched me tat.
She said she wished she could learn tatting.  So many people say that  
but you never know
who is really serious about it.  So this year when she arrived with  
her honey and beeswax
entries she remembered that I did tatting and once again said how  
much she would like to
learn.  So - it dawned on me that surely someone on these groups that  
I am involved with
would be in her area and could teach her tatting.  In Illinois, she  
is in the Rochester/Springfield
area.  If there is anyone who would be interested in contacting her,  
please let me know and

I will give her name and email address.

Thanks in advance.

Jane Nelson
Lincoln, NE USA
Now getting ready for the Nebraska State Fair - we have a booth there.
Then we will travel to the Kansas State Fair to judge their honey  
division.

[lace] looking for lacemakers in Kent

[beth]

Hi all

If anyone out there is from the Kent area of England, do you know  if there 
are any lace groups or classes meeting in the Borough Green / Sevenoaks area?

One of the older members of our class up here in Cheshire is moving to Borough 
Green to be near her daughter in Sevenoaks, and I know she'll want to find 
other lacemakers to get to know once she settles in. She doesn't have 
internet access herself, so if anyone can let me have contact details for a 
group(s) in that area I'd love to be able to pass them on to her.

Marion still drives, so can travel a bit to find like-minded souls if there's 
no-one very close to Borough Green.

Regards

Beth

In a rather damp, rainy Cheshire, NW England (but we had beautiful sunshine 
all day yesterday).
