Hello Janice and everyone If the Teacher Showcase room has internet access, people can sign up on the spot if they have portable devices, visiting www.arachne.com and following the links to the majordomo addy etc. Whether or not access at the time, you could have the arachne url on a placard

Jeannette There is a ground, used rarely in Bucks, called "cord ground". Is it possible your source has a typo? It is basically the same as the little snowflake used in Binche (although the pins are placed differently). It is on page 101 of Cook & Stott's BOOK OF BOBBIN LACE STITCHES, Branford

Thanks for your suggestions for an Arachne get-together at the IOLI convention. I think that having lunch together in the food court would work better. Ruth Lyon In Iowa Sent from my iPhone > On May 21, 2016, at 8:11 PM, Janice Blair wrote: > > Found out that we

I think that's a great idea, Janice, and one topic might be the various exchanges over the years. They are fun in the short term and, in some cases, have led to long-term and long-distance connections. Perhaps we can offer some testimonials about how the listserve has contributed to our lace

I have been approached about Arachne having a table at the Teacher Showcase so that we can inform lacemakers about Arachne.  Not sure if we would have anything to display, but we could bring along our lace work and maybe have a hand-out for visitors.   What are your thoughts on that subject?

Found out that we might have two options for our get together this year as the hotel has a small restaurant and not much room in the lobby, and would charge us if we wanted to use a room.  As I understand it, the shopping mall is attached to the hotel with an overpass bridge and they have a food

Can you post a photo? If you belong to one of the Facebook bobbin lace groups, maybe someone there could help you. I'd be curious about it, too. Liz Roberts in beautiful, sunny Missouri -Original Message- From: karpap To: Arachine Sent: Sat, May

I read the article. Hoping they are successful. I remember what difficulty I had finding a lace teacher around NYC back in the mid 90's (I lived in the Bronx back then). Fortunately, I found Arachne and through them was able to connect with the same lace group (Metropolitan Chapter of IOLI).

Hi, A few years back I had found instructions on the internet for making a travel bobbin lace pillow from cigar boxes. Does anyone remember seeing this and does anyone know where I might find those instructions again? It was very clever. It folded up and was very easy to carry to

A friend is doing a Buck's piece and the instructions use the term "core ground". Neither of us have heard the term before and I wondered if anyone on the list has ever come across this term and how is the ground worked? Jeanette Fischer Western Cape, South Africa. - To unsubscribe send
