[lace] Teneriffe Lace lesson offered by Embroiderers' Guild of America
I developed a serious lace interest about 40 years ago, via taking needle lace courses taught by EGA. Since our lace guilds primarily focus on bobbin lace at this time in history, this is something for people who prefer needles as their tool-of-choice to know. If you are a member of EGA, or know someone who is a member, this Teneriffe Lace lesson is a correspondence course for one (you don't have to be part of a group) costing $38. This offering is in the September 2016 bulletin from EGA on page 3 of the centerfold as a "Lightening Round", with an order form in the centerfold on page 8. Includes access to videos by Jonalene Gutwein. You will be given the username and password for the videos when you enroll. Also in this issue is an article "Should Your Chapter Go Online? - Part 2". This may be of interest to officers of lace guilds, and you may want to borrow a back issue to read Part 1.

Original Message- From: The Lacebee Sent: Thursday, November 7, 2013 1:03 PM To: alexstillw...@talktalk.net Cc: Arachne reply Subject: Re: [lace] Teneriffe book Alex, I would like to say that this book was a light bulb moment in my lacemaking career. We were so impressed that in craft terms, we had performed brain surgery using a book... So, Alex, Thank You. Kind Regards Liz Baker Thank you Liz. Your email has made my day. I started lacemaking in the early 1960s when lace was as dead as the dodo and have had to do most of my learning from looking at lace and puzzling over prickings. I see no virtue in reinventing the wheel and my aim is to write down what I have discovered so that, hopefully, others will continue on from where I leave off. Knowing that it works makes all the hard work writing books worth while. Happy lacemaking Alex - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com.

I remember hearing that sol/Teneriffe crossed the Atlantic to South America by ship, the makers being ships' sailmakers and Hi Leonard That is how I understand it. There is an excellent account of the history of Teneriffe lace in - Hispanic lace and lacemaking by F.L .May, Hispanic Society of America 1939 and other historical information in my book came from a friend who had studied history.

Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 08:55:15 -0700 (PDT) From: Karen Bovard k.bov...@yahoo.com Subject: [lace] Nanduti vs. Teneriffe Lace There are several differences between Teneriffe and Nanduti Lace. My big question is the spelling of 'Teneriffe' vs 'Tenerife'!!! Everything that pertains to the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands is spelled with one 'f''. It seems that things associated with the lace use two 'f's'. Alexandra Stillwell's book is spelled Teneriffe Lace. It is my suspicion that this is where the second 'f' came from. Any ideas Karen Bovard The ShuttleSmith Omaha, Nebraska www.TheShuttleSmith.com Hi Karen My book The Technique of Teneriffe Lace' was written before 1986 when it was published. All the books I had used to research the lace spelt the word 'Teneriffe' with two 'f's, you can see some of them on the Arizona Archives website. http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html , so I used that spelling as the name pertained to the lace, not the geographical location.

Nope. Weave-its or whatever have three pins and a space. These looked to have all pins evenly spaced. Cynthia On Sep 16, 2012, at 8:08 PM, hottl...@neo.rr.com wrote: Hello All!

I have just had an email, thank you Clay Hi Alex! I just stumbled across a copy of your Teneriffe book on eBay, and thought you'd be interested... the asking price is $129!!! Item number is 250743934162, in case you'd like to look. Don't you wish every copy had sold for that much! In case anyone would like this book but do not wish to pay that much. As it is no longer worth while having it printed, mind you at that price it would be, I gave the rites to the Arizona University to make it available to download free from their library website, look for weaving/lace section. Keep lacemaking - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com.
