Hi Everyone, I've gotten two phone calls , so far, today asking me what's going on. My son in Oklahoma called me wanting to know why I'm asking him on Facebook, for $20 something thousand for an emergency loan. I said I've not even been on my computer in weeks. Another gal called wanting to kn

[lace] Looking for instructions.

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 demonstrat

[lace] Lacemaking Russian nesting dolls.

Hi Gals, Back in the early part of 2014 someone posted a picture of a set of three, blue and white painted lacemaking Russian nesting dolls. I have been looking for a set of simular dolls ever since with no luck. I'm hoping that person is on this list and can tell me where this set was purcha

[lace] The Royal Lacemaker, book available to USA.

Hi, I want to thank Fran (I believe from Australia) who directed me to the "Book Depository". Since this book is not for sale in the USA and is only available in the UK. I contacted them and was able to purchase the book "The Royal Lacemaker by Linda Finlay". I paid $8.91 for it, no delivery cha

[lace] Russian Nesting Dolls Making Lace?

Hi, Awhile back someone posted a picture of a set of 3 blue nesting dolls making lace. I've been searching for such dolls on Amazon and anyplace I can think of, with no luck. I've gone through thousands of pictures of nesting dolls and found nothing. Does anyone remember seeing these or have an

[lace] Antique library PDFs?

Hi, Not long ago this question was asked and answered. I was sure I had saved the information for when I would need it. Well it seems I may have deleted it. Would the person that sent in the answer to "How to bring up the image of a PDF" from the antique library, please be kind enough to se

Re: [lace] Bayeux Tapestry in needlelace

Years ago I visited the Bayeux Tapestry in France. I believe the Tapestry was made by many different people. I wonder if the same can be said for the needlelace piece? Patsy A. Goodman Chula Vista, CA, USA Catherine Barley wrote: > I was fortunate enough to see the photograph in Caen

[lace] Sad news to report about a fellow lace maker.

Many of you may remember Penny Feike from the IOLI conventions and those in California, from the Del Mar Fair. She passed away Saturday evening. She had been in and out of the hospital a lot and then this last time she went from the hospital to hospice and then passed away. She and her mother

[lace] A little off topic but TATTING related.

A few years back "tatsall" had these exercises posted on their site, I copied mine off in 2007. I had forgotten about them until recently when I started cleaning out a few things and found them again. We need to be reminded again to do these exercises so we can go on TATTING. I checked the si

Fwd: Re: [lace] Unusual Lace dress

HI, I went to the website to look more closely at the outfits. I noticed that Helena Bonham Carter had a lovely purse. It looks like a lace fan. The more I tried to enlarge the picture the more blurred it got. I couldn't tell if it was a lace fan or if it was a lace fan shape attached to a pur

[lace] Re: Metallic threads question.

Hi, I wish to thank each and everyone that responded with answers. The hints were great. I've tried a number of them. I think I like using the low stick masking tape (also know as painters tape) the best, for attaching the beginning thread to the bobbin. I tried the little hair clips and th

[lace] Question concerning metalic thread.

Hi, It's been ages since I used any metallic thread in bobbin lace making. I have a project where I will need 4 pairs of bobbins wound with metallic thread, DMC. How do you wind it so that it doesn't immediately unwind? I even have the special wooden bobbins with the hooked ends. I've tried

[lace] A suggestion for your threads.

Did you ever go into your stash of threads and find just the right one and start on a project, only to run out and find that the label was gone and you didn't know the manufacturer, size, color code or dye lot? To be safe, when you get any new threads do the following: On balls of thread with

[lace] Question for Liz Ligeti about her needlelace

Liz, Just went to the Guild of Needle lace site. Just loved your lovely pieces. Your two oval pieces really caught my eye, with the way you had framed them. I thought the braided ribbon around the outside edge was very clever. Are there instructions for this braid someplace? I'm really fa

Hi, Just thought I'd jump in here with a possible suggestion when working on an Ethafoam pillow. Years ago I was told to put a covering of wool over the foam and between the pillow covering. I have used old wool skirts or blankets that I have washed in hot water and put in the dryer. Even my hu
