[lace-chat] Australian Tea Cosies
The World Tea Cosy Making Championship is now taking place in Queensland. Further details at:- www.murilla.qld.gov.au. I'm amazed that none of our Australian Arachnes alerted us to this event - nor all the other intriguing things that seem to go on in Murilla shire ! Best wishes from Linda Walton, (in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K., where I have daffodils in bloom - very cheering).

[lace-chat] Insect pins
Some while ago I ordered insect pins for lace making (I love them!) from the Checz Republic. I have just received an update in which they are offering stainless steel insect pins. Not sure I should forward the whole file to the lists, but will gladly forward to anyone interested enough to email me off list.

Re: [lace-chat] Australian Tea Cosies
How on earth did you come across such a fascinating competition, Linda!I had a look at the site and I particularly like this: There is no entry fee, no entry form and tea cosies will not be returned. Now doesn't that save on a lot of bother for all concerned!

[lace-chat] cotton warp quilts
Angela briefly coming out of lurkdom. I have finsihed the writing of my new Batsford book, 'The Embroiderers and Quilters Source Book' and it has gone off to tthe Far East to be printed. Now I am working on an in-depth Index. I am still following al the Digests, both lace and lace-chat. I am wondering if the cotton warp quilts are anything to do with the French Marseilles Quilts which were wadded with a cotton filling. These hand made quilts were copied by the weavers who included a cotton weft in the warp, copying the hand ones much to the distress of the workers.. The other thing it could refer to is the Warp Knitting by machine. This machine was invented sometime during the middle of the 19th century. It is slightly different from ordinary machine knitting in that the loops, or 'whales' go upwards, linking to the loops on either side, not to all the loops across the row as in knitting. Just a few thoughts.

[lace-chat] Fw: TWO CHIMPANZEES AND A BLOND
This is another 'blonde' joke but I thought it was cute. Lorri TWO CHIMPANZEES AND A BLONDE A blonde lady motorist was two hours from San Diego- when she was flagged down by a man whose truck had broken down. The man walked up to her car and asked, Are you going to San Diego? Sure, answered the blonde , do you need a lift? Not for me. I'll be spending the next three hours fixing my truck. My problem is I've got two chimpanzees in the back which have to be delivered to the San Diego Zoo. They're a bit stressed already so I don't want to keep them on the road all day. Could you possibly take them to the zoo for me? I'll give you fifty dollars for your trouble. I'd be happy to, said the blonde. So the two chimpanzees were ushered into the back seat of the blonde's car and carefully strapped into their seat belts. Off they went. Five hours later, the truck driver was driving through the heart of San Diego when suddenly he was horrified!! There was the blonde walking down the street and holding hands with the two chimps, much to the amusement of the crowd. With a screech of brakes he pulled off the road and ran over to the blonde. What the heck are you doing here? he demanded, I gave you fifty dollars to take these chimpanzees to the zoo. Yes I know, and I did take them to the zoo said the blonde, but we had money left over---so we went to the movies!!!
