Iâve had a large tape lace project lurking on a pillow for several years and
have recently decided to bite the bullet and finish the #@*% thing. Believe
me, after this I will never do tape lace again, itâs back to Beds and other
more interesting laces :) However I would still like to know
Hello All! Thanks for the links sof--love all the pics! Scrolling down, it
looks like a Binche fan pattern with a kitty the gal who posted the picture
is looking for the pattern. I would be too, if I knew anything about Binche!!
Perhaps Clay has this one in her stash of future projects!
No, sorry! I don't have that pattern. But I don't think it's a fan...
it's a circular mat. The design is repeated twice, so it wasn't
necessary to draw the whole thing.

Dear Lace Pillow Storers,
Just privately received the following from a member of Arachne, and think
it should be shared:
Two years ago I was part of a team that disbursed the collection of a
lady
who had wanted to start a lace school. A huge amount of what she had
collected was no
As I get the Digest, by now you probably have an answer. The Minnesota Lace
Society is hosting 2012 IOLI convention in St. Paul, MN in August. Check out
their website for details www.minnlacesociety.org and if you can go you might
want to make a star or two for them.

Hi Jeri -
Thanks for the reminder. I think that most of the wreath boxes that we
see on sale after the holidays are plastic. They are made by Rubbermaid
and other molded plastic manufacturers. Could you please address the
subject of storage with regard to these plastics? Many of us use
There's still no sign of my copy of Lace. Has anyone in the USA received
their copy yet?

Dear Jeri,
You are a treasure trove of invaluable information. So I think I hear you

3 layers, would protect the pillows from off-gassing of acids. I was

Dear Clay,
We have chemists and scientists on Arachne who are better-qualified to
address your plastics question. Some plastics are safer than others, but
we've all seen old hard plastics turn yellow, lose transparency, and try to
return to a petroleum state. The type used by dry

Although I must say, what could be more charming than a kitty fan? Prr.

Dear Lyn,
If your pillows are stored in containers that off-gas, I think 3 layers
will help by absorbing the effects of direct acid burn. The wraps do not
have to be sewn into holders. You can just gently wrap. I have antique

Mine arrived the other day, so the Canadian addresses must be arriving.
Malvary, it has Louise West's mulitmedia lace on the front, if that helps.

Dear Jeri,
Now I have a really good idea about what to do. Although I do see
problems with a sealer, although probably not as many as with raw wood, that's
for sure.
Cover cloths are standard procedure. Ever go to a class without them? It's
not worth it. And rightly so, they protect
I think I understand the question. This sounds like Cantu or a similar tape
lace. The small area fillings are just twisted pairs going to the center of
the opening and back.
In Cantu, the worker pair extend past the edge pin on the tape, to the center
pin, twisted. Each twisted pair, except

periods of time* The always busy lacemakers of the 19th C. and before did
not have this problem, even in their damp and cold home environments. Their

I've had problems receiving the last two issues of the mag so am
not too fussed at the moment. But a lacemaker about 5 hours drive north
east of me has received hers already. The wait just heightens the
excitement. :-)
