[lace] Christmas Raffle

2014-12-18 Thread AGlez
Hello all Arachne friends,

I have been putting some order among my lacemaking magazines and have found
some duplicates, which I would like to raffle among all those of you who
are interested. The three magazines for the raffle are old La Encajera
magazines (numbers 1, 10 and 21). I am putting a picture in Flickr Arachne
for you to see.

The magazine La Encajera does not exist anymore, but was one of the first
Spanish magazines with interesting articles inside. I do not have the
translations, but perhaps some of the subscribers can facilitate it.

All interested Arachneans please send a private email to me with the
subject Christmas Raffle: La Encajera. I will give a number to each
email, in order of receipt, and on the 24th of December I will play Santa
Claus and draw three numbers (with an innocent hand, believe me). I will
send anywhere in the world.

Good luck to everybody!

Antje

Hi Cindy,

I meant to put the attribution on the pictures but hadn’t got round to it.  
They are by Anne Shadbolt. One was in Barbara Underwood’s  Bedfordshire Lace 
Collection book, the others were in the Lace Guild Lace magazine in 2006,  I 
don’t have the issues to hand for the numbers but round about 120 to 122 
comes to mind.  They were fun to do, but the one with the Bucks spider ground 
was tricky.

I’m copying Arachne  in case anyone else wants to know and to thank Ann for 
designing and publishing the patterns and giving me help with the working 
diagram for the spider ground – it took a while but I did finish the series.

If you are anyone else is in search of more: there are butterflies in Margaret 
Turner’s Bedfordshire Lace Patterns book, and a moth in Barbara’s 
Traditional Bedfordshire Lace. Two in Pamela Nottingham’s Technique of Bobbin 
Lace.   And yet more in  Jean Leader’s  introductory beds booklet for the 
Lace Guild.

Louise

Hi Louise,
I was looking at the Arachne Flickr photos and came across some Beds? 
butterflies that were posted in your album.  I'm wondering if they are patterns 
from a book or publication, or whether are your own patterns?  I would love to 
try a couple of them.
Thanks,
Cindy Rusak, Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada
