[lace] Czech Lace SA exhibition and website

Hi all I agree with Dot that South African Lacemakers should all make an effort to visit this exhibition. I only saw about 10% of what they brought with in Johannesburg. For those of you not as fortunate to be able to visit Pretoria or Cape Town, there is a website Vamberecká krajka CZ http

The DMC linen embroidery thread is available here in Oz - I bought some a couple of months ago at our little craft shop here in Cooma, well away from the bright city lights. It is six stranded, like embroidery thread. I divided it into individual strands, and made two bookmarks from it, each in t

Thanks Jean! As I have a foot in Both camps, I was a Sure Winner!!! As the matches were played (mostly) in the spirit of the game I feel it was a good series. It is "just not cricket" when bad feelings get involved! When I get all the competition lace made (When!!!) I plan to make myself an

Yes, the Flounce Jacket is the one I was talking about. Alas, the website doesn't have the catalog's back view. Here's another jacket with lace: Magaschoni Beige Pinstripe Wool Jacket with Lace Trim Jacket, camisole, and pants are all black so can't see much detail, but I can see the lace. To

I also went to the Nordstrom site and saw the black taffeta dress, but I thought that the item being described corresponded more to the Robert Rodriguez Flounce Jacket which comes in below $400. Devon - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAI

I cannot speak as a Contest Chairman, only as the Host group's liaison person with the IOLI Contest Chairman (this year, Anne Moore and Sylvie). We set a date of entries being in my hands by July 1st, so that all paperwork could be checked (don't ask, you'd be surprised what can be missed from for

I checked on-line and it was a Diane von Furstenburg (I think I spelled all that right) gown, priced at "merely" $475 (US). It was described as a black taffeta wrap-dress. It was pretty, if you happen to be young, petite, and wealthy. But that just gives the rest of us more room to design our own

Re: [lace] Sue Johnston wearing tape lace

At the Burgley Horse Trials a couple of weeks ago, although even the *very* expensive designer dressmakers weren't using much lace, a lot was being worn, especially fine netty, neatly-fitted overblouses with peplums. Particularly noticable was a cream over navy - very fine lace so the navy was

I found a nw thread the other day which may be useful if you need a touch of colour and would prefer linen. DMC are producing a range of stranded linen embroidery threads. A single strand is the same thickness as a strand of most stranded embroidery cottons. The colours are very muted which
