Re the 's Gravenmoerse lace - Managed the diagonal half stitch for the first time yesterday without having to reverse a few times!!! The German plate was correct first time around.

Re: [lace] Re: What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention
's Gravenmoerse lace! I did a course at OIDFA and finished the set piece but now the teacher is far and I have to read the instructions - not my strong point. It is so much easier if someone shows me what to do! I really have to concentrate when I do the diagonal half stitch. How long does it take before one can just sit down and do it?

Re: [lace] Re: What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention
Like Jeannette I am finishing the work we made in Bakkeveen before OIDFA congress. But the last week we had our summer heat which wasn't fine for lacemaking. After that I have to do some work from another class I visited and which shall be exhibited on our next congress. Both works a bit similar but not the same. Than I make a magic tree for the childrens side of a magazin. There are still those new lace sleeves I started some time ago.. But there are so many things not lace-related I have to do so the time for lacemaking is only a bit of the whole day.

Re: [lace] Re: What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention
I am doing a long pricking for a narrow Bucks border for a large pin cushion. Then have to wind some bobbins and gimps, and I'll take the whole shebang to demonstrate at a couple of upcoming craft fairs. I am also still working on my Beds butterfly which I started in May when I was on a course with Christine Springett. But I am not taking that to demonstrate, as I need all my wits on me to do this one. My friend Sue and I both acquired a table mate II after hearing so much about these from our USA lace friends. So all your fault and if we are not happy with them; we'll just blame you lot on the other side of the Atlantic. This table will come with me to the lace demonstration, and be tested in the field so to speak. Apart from that: I am working through the Summer, just having started a teaching job at PO ferries. Teaching beginners German to 4 mixed nationality groups: very interesting, and enjoyable. I may even get some free trips on the ferries, and if I end up going to Zeebrugge, I will spend the day in Bruges admiring and hopefully buying loads of lace goodies.

Re: [lace] Re: What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention
Hello everyone I'm among those who don't go to many lace conventions - too far or too difficult or too something that I can't go - so can't miss what we don't have ;) What I'm working on is a Flanders piece, taking some letters from Ulrike's ABC in Flanders and turning them upright (so that they read up to down, instead of left to right)- which means free-wheeling without a diagram vbg and now I'm teaching myself how to do such a diagram. When finished - it is a Christmassy item - I can publish the pattern somewhere. (David, that was bad...)

Re: [lace] Re: What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention
I suppose my everyday life is nunsense g I'm still plugging away on my first learning piece in Cantù. Those long cloth stitch bars look easy, but I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to maintain a good, even tension going in to and coming out of the 90 degree corners. (This is a cross design.) I've done the inner cross and the outer frame around the cross. Now I am about to start the wavy biseta that runs between the two, attaching on either side in two- or three-way spranghette. It's challenging, but not so much of a learning curve that I can't relax and enjoy it.

Re: [lace] Re: What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention
When Agnes says it's a long pricking she means it!! There isn't a pillow long enough (unless David can find one) My tablemate is still in the car. mainly because I have no lace on the pillow at the moment... too busy with other things! Will be starting Louise Colgans humming bird on Thursday evening (so far anyway), and if Agnes comes back from Bruges without chocolate there'll be war!!! I've also got to finish the Wolds newsletter so it can be published at the end of the month but the printer has turned up it's toes and died so Chris has to sort it! Think I'll be pleased tomorrow night when my dotty daughter gets back from Edinburgh, I've been cat sitting or at least, spending most of my time hunting for them! Sue in that damp, drizzly, miserable, more like October than August East Yorkshire!
