[lace] Jeanette's rosa libre fish

The fish with the "rose" eye and "roll" scales was from Jeanette Fischer (also an Arachnean) and the most inventive way to use the Rosalibre technique I've seen so far. +++ Jeanette have sent me a photo of this lovely fish a while ago and i thought he was wonderful too. Not that i know anything

Kim, What size pattern were you looking for the jug cover? There is a pattern using 18 beads in Roz Snowden's Miniature bobbin lace book - page 56. If you need a scan of it, let me know and I will send it to you. Jane O IL. USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul

[lace] Argh! Frustration!

My Polish cleaner brought her sister-in-law (who is visiting from Poland) to help this morning and the S-I-L has just tipped my lacemaking pillow off it's stand, flipped it upside down on the floor, and broken off several bobbins. Before I could stop her she had picked up the pillow and got it

Re: [lace] Argh! Frustration!

It could also be that those threads were broken in the fall. Before I learnt of this trick, my grandson (then about 15 months old, now 18yrs!) 'played' with my lace pillow when his mum was house sitting for us. It was a piece of Bucks with about 40 or so pairs. She had shown it to a lace maki

Mercifully it is only for my own satisfaction that I am doing this course, so I don't have to re-do it or anything. However I had mastered the techniques involved in this lesson, so I think I will just move on, and add it as a sample piece to my file, rather than spending time adding back in th

I saw it happen, but it was too fast for me to stop it - especially as she speaks no English. Some bobbins snapped immediately and scattered over the floor, more broke or came free as she picked up the pillow and turned it over. They could have broken when it fell, and just come free when picked

Hi All! I got back from the IOLI convention and I had the most WONDERFUL time! I kept looking around at all the stuff the RMLG (Rocky Mountain Lace Guild) were doing to keep everything running smoothly and I was really impressed! On Sunday night, they had the Pajama party. There were some

Dear lacefriends, Just back from a wonderful lace class full of new ideas but missing the time to realize them I had a very short look over my 125 mails and will answer this one. The congresses of Deutscher Klöppel Verband are a bit in another way as those from IOLI. We search our hotels or hol

Oh, sorry Lacefriends, I was too quick. I still found some other dates. In 2003 the theme was "Spiegelungen"/ reflections, can I say so?In that year were only 53 but 4 not for competition s o only 49 from 7 countries. You see it is different from year to year. Greetings Ilske - To unsubscrib

In her excellent report on the convention, JoAnne made the following comment ".and got to sit in on the Lier Lace Class with Greet Rome-Verbeylen in  the afternoon." Does this mean that she was not actually taking part in the class, but was there as an observer? I have heard of this practise

I only took one class, so have limited experience. If there were observers, they drifted in, tried not to intrude, and drifted out. Didn't bother me a bit. We (class students) would look at each other's pillows when we got up to streatch, get a glass of water, whatever. The class I was in wa

Phew, that's a whole different thing. A few people wandering in and out, respecting the rest of the class, is a normal situation practically anywhere there is more than one class in progress at a time. In the embroidery classes I was saying about the "observers" payed a reduced fee as they are
