Re: [lace] exchange/friendship
Now Sue, why don't you save up your pennies and join us in Adelaide for the OIDFA Congress in July 2014?? Now there's a challenge for you. :-) Cheers, Shirley T. - thoroughly enjoying the Arachne messages. A wee bit warmer today, 27C.

Re: [lace] exchange/friendship
Wish I could Sue. I don't think the sale of a few books would pay for the airfare though. I did go to the lace Guild AGM weekend a few years ago and enjoyed it very much. If you are going, have a great time. Janis Savage Now Janis never mind going to Oz and taking those books with you come to the UK and bring them here!!!

Re: [lace] exchange/friendship
Thank you for the mention Mary. I am one of the guilty lurkers who do not post to Arachne very often but I have just spent a very pleasant hour reading about 50 Arachne emails on the importance of internet lace friendships amongst other things. I agree but, all the regular contributors seem to be so quick off the mark in replying to a query that I usually think that my two-pennorth is not needed. Being suitably chastened after Jeri's original post on lurkers versus volunteers, I will try to send my opinion a little more often now. By the way, Jenny Koops has now published a book on 25 Bookmarks. Maybe I will put some in my suitcase when I (hopefully) come to Adelaide in 2014. I will need to make some extra money to buy dinkum Aussie lace goods like your cover cloths and aluminium bobbins from Shirley's DH (as if I needed any more bobbins). Unfortunately, Mary Hughes who painted those lovely bobbins is not able to do it any more due to advanced age and macular degeneration of her eyes. She still manages to make lace though in an enlarged version using Perle No. 12 and her memory of many years of making lace.

RE: [lace] exchange/friendship
Hi All, Must be 15 years ago that a self-published booklet "15 Lace Patterns of Crosses" by Jenny Koops of South Africa was mentioned on the list. Janis Savage arranged for friends of hers to carry a copy to Sydney and sent two very nicely painted bobbins for me. Recently (last year I think) Janis was in Melbourne to see her son and his family and I was able to go out to Sydney Airport to have a coffee with her during her layover and finally meet her.

[lace] exchange/friendship
I have learned so much from the list, I am ever thankful. I'm not sure when I joined the list but probably about 2000 as I started making lace in 2000. I do have a question, I'm sure many friendships have been made through Arachne, but how many friendships have been made from an exchange? I have participated in several exchanges and secret pals but one in particular became special.. At Christmas 2009, I was paired with a lovely lady and we continue to communicate. We met at IOLI, Portland, 2010 and will be roommates in Salt Lake City. I hope others have experienced this...Arachne makes the world seem smaller, Irene Whitham Surrey, BC Canada - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
