[lace] Christmas Card
My Christmas card from Janet T. in UK arrived yesterday. Thank you for such a lovely card. I hope you don't mind waiting, but I'll be mailing your card when I've finished making the lace for your card. I've been busy working on a large piece of lace for the Grundtvig Project which will be displayed in April 2013 in Dohna, (near Dresden) Germany, . It has to be finished by the end of November, so am very busy this week. As well as doing some proofreading for Antje's Vuelta ja Cruz magazine. Pene in Tartu, Estonia where it is getting below freezing, snow predicted soon. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

I have been working on a piece of Floral Bucks Point but today I really must write an article for the editor of The Lace Society about making a lace jabot and cuffs for the current High Sheriff of East Yorkshire. After that, well there are a couple of pillows with a piece of Duchesse on them and one with a Honiton piece which really needs finishing.And then there is the Christmas Fair at Solihull this Saturday when, I am sure, I will be unable to resist more goodies!!!

Hi I think that this is lovely.I hope it is of some help to her. Memory quilts are made using photos from a given person's life transferred to fabric for the quilt. We have gathered photos from around the family, and when Lorraine has the quilt others can use it as a starting point for conversation, some things she will remember and others she will not. It will also serve as a mini family history for her children and grandchildren who will not now be able to ask her. 60 is young for an Alzheimers Diagnosis, but her family seem to have a lot of local support and her middle son, aged 36, is acting as her carer. Some people do Memory quilts for significant Anniversarys, 60th for example, or significant birthdays. Lorraine is younger than I am.

Re: [lace] lace flikr photos
Hi Sue, Sadly, the reason that you're having trouble is that the system that Webshots and Smile set up was very strange, and ultimately we all agreed that Smile was not for us. They moved all of pictures to Smile, but did not move the associated information. So it was necessary for us to re-label everything. But we were not happy with the lack of ability to organize the pictures. With the help of numerous members of Arachne, our pictures are now in a new account in Flickr. The account name is arachne2003, just as it was in Webshots, and the password is Honiton. You're able to label your pictures, and we're especially hoping that you will identify the pictures as yours.

Re: [lace] Quiet?/what lace
I have things on 4 pillows. I have a Bucks edging on my travel pillow. I've finished 14 inches of 53. This pillow will come with me to Sweden on the 16th to celebrate Christmas with Middle Child. Haven't done that for 5 years. Will be bringing what I can for an American Christmas dinner. I have the altar cloth on another pillow. I have a beginners' Valenciennes pieces from a class that I WILL finish, so I can get back to the handkerchief, number XI from Kumiko Nakazaki's first folio of Flanders patterns. Just getting to the first corner on that one. Actually, there are things on other pillows, but I haven't worked on them in a while, and the idea is what you're working on now. But I have decided I need a new sweater for Sweden. The Lett Lopi yarn from Iceland and the book from Canada combined here yesterday. I have about 3 weeks to finish it, so I'm doing that. On Thursday I take the train, 3 hours each way, to New York, to see the lace exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, so I'm bringing the sleeves to work on the train.

Re: [lace] Quiet?/what lace
Quite a few years ago, a very dear friend of mine died. She left a seven-year-old son. I wanted to do something to help, but lived several hundred miles away. I decided to make him a memory quilt. I used a simple star pattern quilt which had squares in the center of each star, where I placed the pictures. Her husband sent me many pictures to choose from, as well as a box of her colorful nursing scrubs. Because she had chosen her scrubs herself, and wore them daily, they were all familiar to her son, and not surprisingly, they all complimented each other. I knew that the grieving process is difficult for a child, so each of the pictures was covered by four triangles that could be opened to reveal the picture. His father hung the quilt in the child's bedroom, but he (the child) did not want it there. So it was moved to the father's room. Before long, the child began to visit it, and gradually began to look at the pictures, and finally asked to have it in his room. The other thing that struck me was that working on this quilt was the best thing I could have done to get me through my own grieving process. There were lots of tears, and lots of good memories sewn into it! Clay Memory quilts are made using photos from a given person's life transferred to fabric for the quilt.

It seems that there are fewer members trying to keep lace alive around the world. We must correct this.

I have received mean spirited comments off list, and a more recent one resulted in my losing essentially all the vision in my right eye.

You may not agree with their perspective, but from sharing we learn and grow. Comments that are not related to substantive lace content, are really unnecessary and damaging in so many ways, including limiting open hearted sharing on the list, so we all suffer.

[lace] Current project
I've been working on edging for a set of placemats. I chose this project for my demos at Heritage Park in Calgary this past summer. I volunteered one day per week. The edgings provided long enough pieces that I didn't have to start a new piece each week. I'm still working on the third one. It is a beds pattern from Pamela Nottingham's book. I've had an issue with the corners. She has the pricking, working diagram and picture of the piece. The number of leaves vary between these - 7 on one, 8 on another and 9 on the third. I've figured it out now but I was quite confused. I haven't had much time to work on it this fall due to other commitments but I look forward to starting something new.

[lace] current projects
I just finished my Christmas laces so am free to explore other things. I've been working on a guipure lappet from the OIDFA book, and added about four inches to it. It's ready to set aside for a while. This project will take 2-3 years to complete. At the same time, I'm sorting and collecting threads/yarns for a red and black scarf. I think I have enough to start winding bobbins. I'm also preparing to demo edging petals with wire at the January lace meeting. I'll have three pillows to show the start, middle, and end of a petal. Two are ready but I still have to set up the third. Waiting for me to get to it is a Flanders item that was started in a class, and ditto with a Binche tiny edging. I also have the urge to do a bit on a Kortelahti edging that I do mainly at demos. Since it's over half finished, I'm getting eager to see it done. Since I've been in the habit of working Kortelahti lace through Christmas and New Year's, that lace will come out in about 3 more weeks. It's five inches wide and will make a 24 centerpiece. I'm guessing it will be ready for State Fair in 2014. I have to admit to doing an occasional project in knitting, embroidery or crochet, or even reading a book, so I have a variety of things to keep me busy. Retirement certainly isn't boring to me.

I have the mat with the trident edge that I was asking about, still half done, and on the pillow, ready to be worked on! I will take my little travel pillow on holidays with me, and that has a Cluny Edge using only about 12 pairs, but it looks like an Early lace design. Comes from the little blue Cluny book, by Rutgers. Then in needlelace I have a Puncetto square half done, an Eastern Mediterranean knotted lace mat half done, an outline being laid, some filet lace ready to start, etc!! The NL pieces I can take on holiday also. I might do some Filet lace in the boat while DH sits fishing! I will no doubt be more productive - though, to be fair, he usually catches enough for a meal each day! Inland waters, I hasten to add, - so no under- swell to make me sea-sick!!! Just a pretty lake and river within the bounds of a national park, and some farms along the banks, with lots of birds, and flowers. Very relaxing. I might even bring out my UFO patchwork, and hand sew some bits of fabric together!!! That works Ok in the boat, too, as does the East Med knotted lace! So I have a variety of things to do - the only ones that I can see to work without a big magnifier, and I can't take that on holiday, so that is when these others come out to be worked on!!

[lace-chat] Quiet list, memory quilts, lace in Israel?
I've had no chance yet to unpack my lace after our most recent move back to the States. For a variety of reasons it's taken longer than usual to settle in this time. Nothing bad, just a lot going on along with a small house with limited space for setting up a pillow. I head to Israel in a couple of weeks for a month and am considering packing up a travel pillow and starting on the smallest (in width) yardage for the on going christening gown I'm making. Will have to see if the suitcase allows. Karen asked about a memory quilt. My daughters and I also make memory quilts but use t-shirts. Our daughters each attended several high schools with all our moving. In one school she might play lacrosse and participate in a musical program, in another it would be volleyball and drama - whatever was available and interesting. Each of these clubs traveled to events and usually there was a t-shirt provided for each team member. This continued into university. With boxes of t-shirts which were really a diary of their school years, we cut out the important part, the logos or sayings and created quilts. My husband and I have been fortunate to travel to many interesting places to scuba dive. The dive shops always have a fun selection of t-shirts usually depicting local dive sites. We've collected them with the idea that I'll make us matching quilts so when we're no longer able to dive we can sit under our quilts and reminisce about the places we've been. I'm looking forward to adding a t-shirt or two to the collection from scuba in the Red Sea. I'll try this question again as I received no response earlier - are there any lace things I should see while in Israel? Understanding that my movements might be somewhat restricted currently. I will be back and forth several times a year so I don't have to rush to see anything right away but if there's something to be seen, I'd like to check it out.
