We are gearing up for our trip first to Texas and then on to Seattle to visit family! We get to San Antonio a couple of days early, to give us time to get over Jet-lag, so we will have a look around, Janice, to see if there is room for an Arachne lunch! I have already purchased a small gift to br

Much as I enjoy reading about and looking at handmade lace, the time has come for me to admit that I have more fiber tools, toys and books than I can ever use in three lifetimes. Can anyone suggest a good place to list some of these items for sale?  Lace pillows, bobbins, threads ... and books

In reference to digitizing our own lace documents, it can be much easier than Lin’s process. There are many smart phone apps that create.pdf’s just by aiming your phone and clicking. I like Scannable and have the free version for iPhone. It straightens the document nicely. Can do separate pages

I’ve been reading the sample digital IOLI bulletin on my tablet (iPad) and am very glad they are offering that option. Tablets work much better for this than computers. The tablets, which originated as readers, automatically size the page so it fills the screen. You can enlarge the page to zoom

In addition to Lin's photos, there are some really nice Duchesse and Carrickmacross. The latter has some really good closeups which allow the viewer to see the layers of work. Lorelei From: owner-l...@arachne.com On Behalf Of Lin Hudren Subject: [lace] 2018 Arachne Bookmark Exchange *https://www.

I, for one, was thrilled to see the IOLI Bulletin being offered in digital version. Like most others I much prefer having a printed version, BUT, we are in the process of downsizing to much smaller space, so I simply do not have enough storage space for all the wonderful Bulletins. I hope at some

Dear Lacemakers,   Is there a library collection anywhere in the world housing books and publications focused on both embroidery and lace that is more extensive than the one here?   How does that owner feel about this subject ?   In the case of this library in Maine USA, it is preferable to hol

I am also gathering bobbins. threads, etc. and preparing prickings classes at the IOLI convention. I've cleared a pillow to take with me. The more pillows I buy, the more unfinished projects I have! My classes are Flanders morning and afternoon with Kathy Kauffman, and Buttons and Braids with G

Depending upon the price I will probably pay for both the physical and digital copies for a year. Then I will decide which I prefer. I have a number of hobby books that I have gotten electronically and I like them a lot. I especially like being able to access them on my tablet and the ability

Hi Janice I too will be opting for the paper version as I prefer being able to pick it up and read at my leisure, rather than go to my laptop to access it. I did try the digital version with another lace group but like yourself, couldn't be bothered with having to go through the process of acc
