Hello Samrah
I am really new to lacemaking, just started in December, and just got
on this list. I do a goodly bit of sewing, and lots of
embroidery~Palestinian in particular. My lace teacher is about 5 hours
away so I don't see her nearly often enough. I guess I am a bit odd as
I tend to
Toomer's Antique Lace: Identifying Tips and Techniques is one you could
probably order from your local bookstore. It is published by Schiffer books in
Atglen, PA. They have a website you can order it from www.schifferbooks.com. Go to

Please do check it out, because there are lots more books newly added to the
list. The Professor scanned a number of very interesting articles from the
early part
Tess and Professor,
I for one want to congratulate you on such a marvelous endeavor. I was
just there yesterday and found several books of interest. Thanks so much
for all your hard work in making these historical references available to
the world.
But please, tell me and the rest of the list
Tess, those CDs are such a spectacular resource and the price is so low as
to be the bargain of the century! If you have to raise the price for better
packaging, there isn't anyone who can object. At twice the price they'd
still be a great deal, in order to get those priceless treasures into our
As the recipient of two of the CDs which broke in the mail, and which Tess
generously replaced, I am very happy to pay more for the pacing and postage
to save her the stress of wondering if they will reach people safely, and
the costs of replacing broken ones. It is not fair that Tess should bear
I have also gotten CDs from Tess, and mine came through in
perfect condition. I wonder if there are packaging options
which would withstand the abuses which broke the few that
didn't survive. My point is that perhaps the extra $1.10
would be better spent on insurance and let the Postal
Service
Hello Everybody.
As it has been really cold in Denmark today (at least we feel so), I have
started dreaming about summer and the Lace-Festival in Tonder, which is
going to take place again this year.
I wonder how many from this list are going to join us. Last time was
really a great time, lots of
Thanks for all of the support. Sorry not to be more specific. I guess I got a bit shy
didn't want to bore you all to tears with stuff you probably did 20 years ago.
I actually own Beginning Bobbin Lace by Gil Dye, and have 101 Torchon Patterns by
Wilde Practical Skills in Bobbin Lace by Cook
Brenda suggests:
Jennifer Fisher's Torchon Lace for Today
Rosemary Shepherd's Introduction to Bobbin Lacemaking
Bridget Cook's Torchon Lace Workbook
as good beginners books. It just struck me that two of these are
by Australians, which kinda reflects the way so many Australians

Hello Arne !
Yes, you are correct! The @ symbol was incorporated into a
clever spider with the addition of some legs, and many who
travel to big lace gatherings wear this easily identifiable
symbol to show they are members of Arachne.

I have heard from only two lacemakers in New Zealand, I was hoping to make
contact with many more before I leave for Auckland on April 2. I have a week at
leisure before the Interweave tour begins, and I would really like to be able to
travel to the AGM in Queenstown with lacemakers from the
Hi everyone
A 'dishrag' or however you wring a cloth (= twist it) is 'un torchon'
yes, but I like to think that 'Torchon' lace is derived from the french
'la torsion' = (the) twisting.
I'm sure that the lace we call Torchon has been around since lace erupted
into its making. It would be
Hi All,
Just to let you know, that I'm sort of back - had the foot surgery on
Monday afternoon, and it went well. Am now hopping around with
crutches, when I'm not foot up.
Noelene's poetry has buoyed me greatly - especially since I couldn't get
outside to make lace in our lovely 70 degree
Just received a very official email supposedly from Microsoft that had a zip
file attached. It tells you that a new version of MY Doom virus has been
detected and it is important for you to install the file that is attached. It

Why wattle? It should be Flanders poppies for ANZAC Day!
No, I think Flanders poppers are for 11th November Remembrance Day.

I ran down to the station, just missed my train, ran down to the other

the new virus variation but I couldn't get an answer from my server last

Hi lacers,
While shopping, a friend found some walnut shaped
cookie molds and she remarked on these really
scrumptious walnut shaped cookies her aunt used to
make. The cookie molds sadly, didn't have a recipe
with them and she was reluctant to buy the molds
unless she was sure of having a

and because digest subscribers see only garbage. I suggest that you ask
people who are interested in seeing the joke to contact you privately.
