[lace] Split into lace-chat and arachne

[Martha Benedicta Krieg]

Bev, I wouldn’t call it quality control! Both lists are valuable as
filters. Having all these lace-making friends and not having friendly
chatter need to be banned because it clogged up the list ...which mattered
even more when we all had email limits, either on quantity or how much our
300-baud modems could download meant we could build the interpersonal
bonds freely. So I go to lace for technical things, and lace-chat to hang
outand this was the first group I used electronic platforms to hang out
on. FaceBook did not exist yet.

Re: [lace] On Arachne since 1996

I cannot recall just when I joined, but it has been a very long time!
Probably 1990s. And like Nancy I did not trust online storage. Still don’t
in fact...that’s why I keep,so,many backups!

[lace] We are all welcome

[Martha Benedicta Krieg]

Marianne, you are welcome here; all of us are. It is easy to forget to
trim, and I got a reminder, too!  Try digest mode for a while and it will
become clearer to you why it matters.

Re: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[Martha Benedicta Krieg]

Also, Spring Fling happened annually for many years, then every other year
for many more. Last year was the kast full-fledged version, however.

You will find Mary McPeek who was influential together with Trenna Ruffner
in getting Les Dentelles aux Fuseaux published with her English
translation. GLLGI recently published a compilation of Mary McPeek’s lesson
plans and prickings together with photographs of the pieces worked.  Mary
taught for many years and her students and grandstudents carry on.
