Re: [lace] International Lace Day
Yes Miss!! Like Agnes I'd not heard of it before but as she says we'll be finishing the sampler we started in May! We got most of it done on a 2 day course and it's taken us this long to do the rest! Looking forward to finishing it though, because i've got a hole in the pillow and want to take the cover off and see if it's worth repairing I do have a replacement for it though! (So that if it's not repairable I've not lost a pillow, so I can play with it and see what I can do!!) And it's sunny here today, but the forecast for the weekend is. wet!!

Re: [lace] International Lace Day
Hi Spiders All, I know nothing about an International Lace Day but, The Lace Guild (in the UK) inaugurated, several years ago, and probably more than I want to think about, a 'National Lace Day' in September, where we in the UK - and presumably anyone else on the planet who wanted to join in! - made lace in public, and sometimes in quite unexpected places. It was - and is still, I think - very popular, and did publicise lace, but although I did and still do my bit, and make lace in some very public places, there was a lot of interest, with yards of the beginners' snake being made, but not many actually came forward to join a class! But - I am still trying ...

The first National Lacemaking Day was in September 1991(think it was on the 15th) - it just happened to coincide with a "garden party" that had been organised to raise funds for our local hospice, and I was asked to demonstrate lace - the first demonstration I had done! This was the reason why I designed my "Giles the Dog" bookmark - so that I could make some lace to sell - I had only been making lace for two years then! The Guild still organises National Lacemaking Day - the second Saturday each September, and over the years people have sent articles into Lace about what they were doing on the day. As for Giles - she'll probably shoot me, but this link shows the one that Sue Duckles was working when she joined Anne Weston and I demonstrating lace at a papercraft show in Hull a week or two ago, and the one I had worked earlier amongst the other lace I had on display - including a butterfly tatted by David Collyer.

Re: [lace] International Lace Day
Giles looks very good. Jane sent him to me some time ago and I made it for a friend who has a white and black jack russell dog which I thought was quite apt. I love your choice of colours though, he looks totally different. Good luck all with the bedfordshire piece. Sue T Dorset UK Giles does look good though doesn't he??

Re: [lace] International Lace Day
I shall never heard of an International Lace Day.
We in Catalonia (Spain)lacemakers celebrate 21nth. October the Day of
Santa Ursula.
Catholic Ursuline nuns are related with laces. Their convents and
schools sprang from France to different European countries and they
brought with them early laces everywhere they went.
There are recorded lace sales in convent's archives of Gorizia in the
year 1686 ("Merletto a Fuselli", Edizioni della Laguna, published by La
scuola Merletti-Gorizia.

Re: [lace] International Lace Day-purpose of question
Dear Devon, et al, There is a big problem in the US with St. Catherine's Day, because it is November 25, which is right at the time of Thanksgiving here, and that means everyone is making pies and turkey, or eating the same. What day should I propose for a lace theme? Possibly St. Catherine's Day? If so, when is it, and what argument could be made, or documentation provided that would appeal to a museum?

Re: [lace] International Lace Day-purpose of question
Dear Devon, There is a large file of information about St. Catherine's Day in Arachne archives. It is also explained in several books written by British lace history experts, and in "Cattern Cakes and Lace", the cook book written by Julia Jones and Barbara Deer that is illustrated so beautifully with lace and lace-making equipment. You can find info about the book in the archives, by title. In 2012, it fell on Thanksgiving Day in America. St. Catherine's Day is always November 25th. It is easily remembered as being one month before Christmas. Each year, when my new appointment calendar is prepared with birthdays of friends and other important dates (_Lace@Arachne's_ (mailto:Lace@Arachne's) anniversary, for example), I put this date in it. It is not so great a chore, and the calendar is always on the kitchen counter or in my purse/traveling bookcase. ...Well, that is what I call it, because I buy purses with side pockets that will accommodate books, magazines, and note pads on which to jot thoughts that will evolve into memos to _Lace@Arachne_ (mailto:Lace@Arachne) . Doesn't everyone? Jeri --- In a message dated 6/16/2015 9:13:42 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, dmt11h...@aol.com writes: I was thinking of proposing that a certain museum key their "object of the day" to the International Lace Day, ie. make one of our lacemaker paintings, or even a piece of lace to be object of the day. However, I am not convinced that June 21st is sufficiently well accepted that a third party would find it compelling since it seems to emanate from one museum, and that a rather obscure one. In fact, the museum I have in mind is soliciting suggestions for July, although I don't think that there is a particular date in July that I could associate with lacemaking. Can anyone else think of one? Clearly there is a lot of art that could relate to Bastille Day, for instance, so a more obscure day would be better. (An example given for object of the day is a bust of Julius Caesar for March 15-the ides of March.) But, failing to identify a day in July, I could make a general suggestion and perhaps they would take it into account. What day should I propose for a lace theme? Possibly St. Catherine's Day? If so, when is it, and what argument could be made, or documentation provided that would appeal to a museum?

Re: [lace] International Lace Day 21 June 2015 history on facebook
I hate to throw a wet blanket on this, because I love nothing more than lacing in public. But 21 June is Father's Day in the U.S., and the two celebrations just do not mesh well! I will make lace like a mad-woman (the end if the project is near!) until the end of the week, but the weekend belongs to himself!
