RE: [lace] Re: Arachne 20 years
I think the idea of commemorative bobbins and possibly accessories like pin pusher/pin lifter/divider pins/etc?? Maybe the accessories are over the top but just an idea, I think the prospect of getting every member to contribute to a lace panel (might be a very LONG panel) would be difficult considering the varying skill and would be difficult considering the varying skill and experience of our members.

Re: [lace] Re: Arachne 20 years
From: Avital spind...@gmail.com So we're still over 1000 on the Arachne lace list, And how many of those are just lurkers - close to 90% I'd say. Makes me feel very guilty - I only post very occasionally. My sincere thanks to all the regulars past and present.

Re: [lace] Re: Arachne 20 years
Avital Arachne is probably the oldest, continuously running lace-focused list. It's certainly outlasted all those hundreds of family history Mail Lists which were so popular in the 90s. I'm wondering if it's not the oldest continually running List there is???

I was wondering that, myself. I am no expert on lists, but it seems like 20 years is a long time in internet years. Characteristics of lacemakers such as doggedness, loyalty to tradition, etc. might make Arachne an unusual group. Also, the grammar, punctuation, and attention to sentence structure seems anachronistic by internet communication standards, from my limited experience.

Re: [lace] Re: Arachne 20 years
I for one am very grateful for the list which had kept my hopes up over the years for getting back my life enough to do lace!

Early on we did commem. bobbin sales and other lace-at-arachne goodies kindly organized by one of the list members at the time.

Re: [lace] Re: Arachne 20 years
The panel would be my preference. And to answer David's question we should give it to the lady who runs our list. And the person/s joining the panel make a good picture which each of us could download.

RE: [lace] Re: Arachne 20 years
I'll second that for doing a panel for our moderator Avital, Ilske . Good idea. And it would be wonderful to have a commemorative for our 20th birthday. I've got all the commemorative bobbins, and the outstanding ones for me came from Chris Parsons. He also supplies tatting shuttles made by Stuart Johnson. http://www.lace-bobbins.co.uk/ Noelene in Cooma nlaffe...@ozemail.com.au The panel would be my preference.

Re: [lace] Re: Arachne 20 years
Even though I don't need more bobbins I would be interested in a commemorative bobbin. I joined Arachne in 1996 when the OIDFA Congress was happening in Finland. A lace panel could be donated to the Luton Museum for all lacemakers to have access to - via the internet. Cheers, Shirley T. - cooling down in mid 20sC in Adelaide, South Australia. We need some rain so Bev W. in Sooke, I'll be happy for you to send some.

That's a nice idea Ilske, but there are really 2 ladies: Liz Reynolds in the USA who established Arachne and then Avital in Israel who is our Moderator. Both deserve it.
