[lace] Christmas Card Exchange.

[janet theaker]

Can I just point out it  , i  Janet  ,Lin has been doing the Bookmark exchange
, My self and Sallie did the Christmas Card Exchange  , Last year was the  It
was Sallie who was ill not me  and Lin did not finish of the Christmas Card
exchange , I did it all on my own.  For the sake of  an email  this has caused
the upset  and dividing the group  which is not nice.

Janet


From: Laura De Bruyn 
Subject: [lace] Spirit of Christmas

I don't post often, but I do read most and take part in as many exchanges as
possible.
It saddens me to see all this "taking sides"  There are always 3 sides to
every story - version 1, version 2 and the truth somewhere in between!
Firing accusations at each other only increases the hurt on both sides.
If I recall correctly, Janet and Lin have been handling the Christmas
exchange
for a number of years, and it was due to Janet's ill health that Lin
"finished
the job" last year.  Maybe she assumed (as I had) that Janet was still ill.
Mistakes are made by all of us...maybe Lin should have conferred via private
email before getting the ball rolling, maybe Jenny should have been consulted
in relation to use of her site, which may have lead to Janet being
contacted.hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Maybe the road forward is to scrap the work done so far, Lin, Janet and Jenny
confer privately and decide if they are big enough to forgive and forget.  If
so, start again.  If not, invite someone else to take on the mammoth task of
organising Christmas cards to wing their way across the world in the spirit
of
friendship and love.
Can we please accept this, act like grown ups and not spoilt school children
and remember what Christmas is all about.  Let's just get on with making
lace!

Warm regards, Laura @>++ De

[lace] Christmas card exchange 2017

[Susan]

Thank you Liz!  I keep hoping that our three very capable volunteers will look 
at the big picture, bury the hatchet & work as a team for the good of the 
whole.  Many hands make light work & there is plenty of work for all three to 
organize an exchange of this size.  Whatever happened to teamwork ladies!?!  In 
the meantime, all our online speculation is for naught unless & until our 
volunteers correspond with each other off list.  I just can't believe that we 
have devolved into finger pointing, choosing sides & anticipating a malicious 
lacemaker around every corner.  As if!  Taking a cue from the NYSE, I'm taking 
a "quiet period" to await results.  In lace friendship to ALL Arachneans...  
Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA

[lace] Christmas card exchange 2017

[Liz Roberts]

REALLY?! 


All this infighting regarding the exchange makes me feel like I'm listening to 
a bunch of high schoolers arguing over who gets to be head cheerleader. There 
is no cheer in it - Christmas or otherwise. In most groups, it's difficult to 
get anyone to volunteer to do anything and now many here are arguing who will 
organize an exchange that is supposed to be about sharing our gifts and skills. 
Does it matter who organizes it that Arachne will splinter and fall apart if 
one person does it versus another person? 


Janet would have discovered Lin was starting to organize it when she came back 
from vacation. It should then have been up to Janet to privately talk to Lin 
about it - maybe even thanking her for getting things started. I suspect Lin 
was thinking sending out the invitation this early would help slow lacers and 
newbies or people with a lot of time constraints around the holidays to get an 
early start and make their plans. If between Janet and Lin, it was decided 
Janet would take over, then again, it should have been left up to them to 
decide and go on from there. It seems to me all this taking sides is ruining 
the whole intent of the exchange. 


In my opinion, all this is very immature and petty and should stop immediately. 
If Janet still wants to do it, she can converse with Lin off list and they can 
work something out. Frankly, I'm exhausted from the whole thing. Avital is 
right, this stuff doesn't belong on the list which is supposed to be about 
making lace, not enemies.

Re: [lace] Christmas Card Exchange

[Amanda Babcock Furrow]

I love Brigitte Bellon's christmas lace books, like Allerlei Geklöppelter
Christbaum-schmuck, Geklöppelter Weihnachtsschmuck, or Neue Weihnachts-
Klöppelmuster.  As you might guess, the instructions are in German, but
I find the detailed pictures, patterns and a bit of Googling sufficient
to work them out!  They have some interesting techniques in them.

Happy lacing,

Amanda in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Re: [lace] Christmas card exchange

[Jeriames]

Another solution is to go to look at past submissions which have been  kept 
for members of Arachne.  The leaders of the exchanges have urged  
participants to identify the original sources (designers), and they have (in  
recent 
years) also asked for prickings or instructions to put on the site  to 
accompany each item. 
 
I keep preaching to go to our archives.  In this case, you can narrow  the 
search by adding the name of Jenny Brandis to Christmas Card Exchange  and 
narrow the search from 400+ entries to 40+ entries.  (Jenny -  Australian - 
has worked very hard to bring all the submissions to us in  wonderful color, 
Janet - U.K. and Sallie U.S. have been organizing the exchanges  in recent 
years.  This is a happy example of the international nature of  Arachne.) 
 
Go to:  
_Http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html_ 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html)  

 
Search:  Christmas Card Exchange, Jenny Brandis
 
Unfortunately, our server has never been re-programmed to put the  
correspondence in date order, but you will find Jenny's memos announcing the 
new  
entries (by year) to the site she maintains.
 
Sorry, but there are many things to do after attending a  2-day Needlework 
Conference in Delaware sponsored by a major U.S.  museum.  **A member of 
Arachne found me in the crowded book  shop (where else?)!**  Drove, total, over 
500 miles yesterday, and the  same 3 days earlier on the crowded highways 
that run from Maine to Florida  along the Eastern seaboard.  
 
It's up to you to do the searching... or maybe our busy Jenny will  chime 
in.

Jeanette,
We are so pleased your card actually arrived from Lin. She was concerned about 
it's arrival and know she is very happy today knowing it arrived safely. 
Thank you for not opting out. Know this is a very nice ending to your postal 
strike.  We hope you will join in again.

[lace] Christmas card exchange

[Janice Blair]

I received my second card of the exchange yesterday from Adele Shaak in Canada. 
 What a nice red bell design by Bridgette Bellon and beautifully made.  I have 
a couple of her books, but not the one with this pattern in it.  It is already 
on my card wreath over the fireplace.  My two lace cards from the exchange have 
pride of place, now wish I could remember where I stashed the ones from 
previous years as I like to display them all again.

Re: [lace] Christmas Card Exchange

[Janis Savage]

Hello Janet and Sallie
I intended to join the Christmas Card exchange this year but life has 
thrown rather a lot of curved balls at me this year.
My DH suddenly passed away at the beginning of July and I did not 
realise what a lot of legal problems I would have to deal with and they 
are still going on.
As if this were not enough, our postal workers have been on strike for 
10 weeks now and it does not look as though any settlement will be 
reached soon. I dont think there will be any Christmas post in South 
Africa this year.
I don;t actually remember if I put my name on the list but if I did I 
think you had better remove it. I hope that by next Christmas my life 
will have settled down again. I am so grateful for my lacemaking friends 
who are helping me to get through this difficult time.

Seasons Greetings to all Arachneans.
From Janis Savage
in Honeydew South Africa where we are desperately waiting for the first 
rain of the season.

[lace] Christmas Card Exchange 2014

[janet theaker]

 Hi to all,

 Janet and I have volunteered to again head up the Christmas card exchange 
 this year with the all important help from Jenny in the uploading of the 
 cards for all to see in December. The time line for preparing and sending the 
 cards is:

 1 OCT - 22 OCT 2014
 - send us your name and address
 - tell us how many cards you would like to make
 - if you have any special requests as to where you would like to send your 
 cards, please let us know
 - please send your requests to either of us at the following addresses or 
 reply to this e-mail and we will do our best to carry out your wishes.
 Janet from Bridlington, Yorkshire,UK janettheak...@hotmail.com
 
 Sallie from Wyoming, USA bertra...@gmail.com

 3 NOV 2014

 Pairings will be sent out to all who desire to participate

 1 DEC 2014 - all cards should be postmarked to your partner

 We would also like to provide a couple ground rules

 - If you want to share your work and the joy of the season, please send us 
 your name. However, if you send us your name and you are paired, please 
 follow through. It is most disappointing if someone fails to follow through 
 and their partner has gone to the effort of making and sending their work and 
 card

 - If for some reason, after you have been paired you find you cannot follow 
 through, please let us know and we will reassign your name to someone else

 - last, if you feel uncomfortable sharing your work because you are just 
 beginning, please don't opt out. We will love your work all the more because 
 you tried.

 Many Thanks,
 Janet  Sallie

The Christmas card Alice Howell sent as part of the exchange, never arrived
here and I had accepted the situation as one of those things.  This morning
I had the most wonderful surprise in the post - Alice had made another card
and sent it by post!

Thank you so much for all your trouble Alice.  I hope the one that pinched
my card appreciates the lace and the card and that the card did not go
missing only due to a lovely stamp Alice had put on the envelope!!!

The day suddenly looks much brighter!!

To all. 
Guess I am the most derelict in announcing I have received all my ornaments 
from the exchange this past Christmas.  They are most treasured. 
We had a wonderful turnout and had only one person fail to send the promised 
ornaments.  We however recovered from this unfortunate event and the recipient 
received a beautiful ornament in substitution. 
Thank you again to all who participated. 
For those who did not participate or those who just what to dream please go to 
Jenny Brandis' web page to see them all organized for this year as well as 
precious years. She has done a beautiful job of organizing them.   Hopefully, 
this will entice you to join us again next year.

[Celtic Dream Weaver]

 I haven't gotten mine yet...but I know it is coming soon. I did check out the
beautiful Website for our Christmas Card Exchange. Wow is all I can say...some
might fine looking laces there...makes me wish mine would be in the mailbox
tomorrow. I keep running out to my mailbox hoping it is there. 
   I put a
picture of my Winter Wonderland Bobbin up on my blog for you to see if you
would like. It is beaded up and sparkles and speaks to Winter fun times. That
same bobbin is on ebay and ends tomorrow. My other ones like it have all found
a home. I am going to be painting Santa Claus ones soon. I did mention that on
my blog. 
   We do have snow on the ground here in New York...not sure if it
will still be here on Christmas Day or not. I hope so but not like a
tretorious driving kind of snow. 
   I am working on a Carrickcross piece
which I haven't touched in a bit now...but I am planning on working on it
tomorrow. I want to get it done before Christmas. You will see why if I get it
doneLOL
   So what is everybody else working on pray tell..

Dear Spiders.

I received a Christmas card from Lin Hudren this weekend. Her ornament is
an ecru candle with yellow used around the flame and a holder of variegated
Christmas red white and green. I especially liked the way Lin has used some
tiny metal stars to give it some weight.

without a space, and when I clicked on it to put my name down, the email
bounced back.

The correct address should be jannettheak...@hotmail.com.

[lace] Christmas Card Exchange - 2013

[bertrans1]

All,
Sorry for the confusion. Not certain what the computer was doing with the 
e-mail sent earlier. So we are trying again to see if it comes through correct 
this time:
Hi,
Janet and I have volunteered to head up the Christmas card exchange this year 
with the all important help from Jenny in the uploading of the cards for all to 
see in December. 
The time line for preparing and sending the cards is:

22 SEP - 22 OCT 2013 - send us your name if you desire to participate
1 NOV 2013 - pairings will be sent out to all who desire to participate
1 DEC 2013 - all cards should be postmarked to your partner

We would also like to provide a couple ground rules.

-  If you want to share your work and the joy of the season, please send us 
your name. However, if you send us your name and you are paired, please follow 
through. It is most disappointing if someone fails to follow through and they 
have gone to the effort of making and sending their work and card.  

- if for some reason after you have been paired you find you cannot follow 
through, please let us know and we will reassign your name to someone else. 

- last, if you feel uncomfortable sharing your work because you are just 
beginning, please don't opt out. We will love your work all the more because 
you tried. 

Janet from Bridlington, Yorkshire, UK
Sallie from Wyoming, USA

[lace] Christmas Card Exchange

[Nicky H-Townsend]

Hello

Today I received a delightful card from my exchange partner Marji Sakievich,
a lovely lace angel watching over a nativitiy scene -  and next year the
angel which will be adorning my Christmas Tree, along with my other past
exchange decorations - they are all much treasured and look so very pretty
on the tree. I'm hoping that Marji either has or will shortly receive my own
card.

 

May I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas/Festive season and
may you all continue to enjoy your lacemaking in 2013

Greetings to you all

Nicky in Suffolk

[lace] Christmas Card exchange

[Nicky H-Townsend]

Hello all

I'm having to try and re-send this message because I don't think it got
through the first time, but at least I'm finally receiving both Arachne
digests again.

 

---

 

This morning I received a lovely Christmas card from my exchange pal Joepie
Hammett in Sussex - thank you Joepie it is absolutely delightful and what a
lovely thought to include the coaster for mounting it in - after Christmas
it will be in my den so I can admire it everyday - it is a beautiful little
owl that Joepie has designed, he has just so much character he really is
wonderful thank you very much.

 

Thank you also to both Amber and Avital for getting me back on to Arachne
after weeks of absence even from lurkdom - having had a major computer
breakdown, a new computer and new to us  windows 7 operating system [all
courtesy of my husband's son for husbands significant birthday]. But it has
been a bit of a nightmare, firstly getting to grips with the new system
(still can't find 'undo' button), and secondly finding that all the files
from the old computer had been transferred but it was just as if the filing
cabinet had been emptied and everything stuffed back in anywhere!!! So a lot
of re-organising. Then to upset the apple cart we changed our ISP provider
so for those who may wish to know I have a new e.mail address
bob.b...@btinternet.com which leads to another question - does anyone know
how I go about boosting the signal for wifi usage elsewhere in the house -
before the change of ISP provider we had good wifi coverage and I could use
my lap top anywhere in the house - since the change we can't use the tablet,
kindle or laptop unless in the same room as the BT hub yet they are
connected for wifi usage, the signal is just too low. Any suggestions.

 

Many thanks

Nicky in Suffolk

Just received my card from Ayla Middleton.  Nice gold card with a red and green 
heart basket.  I tried making one of those years ago and failed miserably, but 
mine was in paper and it did not fold together nicely.  Next year it will be on 
my tree.

Thanks Ayla,

What is involved in these card exchanges? Do you make a piece of lace or find a 
card with a picture of lace on it? And what about the postcard swaps?

[lace] Christmas card exchange - waht it is

[lacelady]

The Christmas Card Exchange starts in Sept or Oct when someone says they are 
willing to coordinate it.  They collect emails of people who want to 
participate, and set up the pairings.  The assignments are usually made by the 
end of October.  Each card is to have some handmade lace on or in it, and be 
mailed by early December.  Jenny generously makes space on her website for 
pictures of the various cards.  If you watch your email next Sept or Oct, you 
can join the exchange for next Christmas.  

Sometimes Arachne has a bookmark exchange in the spring.  You can watch for an 
announcement of that in a few months if you are interested.

[lace] Christmas card exchange

[Janice Blair]

I should have written sooner because I received my card from Alice Howell last 
week.  My card to her is in the mail but my other card to Ayla in New Zealand 
has to wait until I get to the post office on Friday, closed tomorrow for 
Thanksgiving.  

Alice made a very nice piece of lace which probably looks better than will show 
in any picture because it is 3D.  I sent my card scans and pattern to Jenny. 
 Mine are a simple design which I used to do a demo at my guild last Saturday 
so 
that is why they were not in the mail immediately they came off the pillow.

Happy Thanksgiving to all US members.  Thinking of our Middle East members.

This morning I received the most beautiful lace snowflake card from 
Kathy Hensel.  My husband's reaction was Can we frame that?  It will 
definitely take pride of place, with last year's lovely card, on my 
mantlepiece this Christmas.


I forgot to say, both when I sent a card to Kathy and when when I 
emailed the scan to Jenny, that the piece I made was from Eve Morton's 
2007 Christmas decoration collection. My first attempt at making lace 
within a bangle. Apologies for the omission.

Hi Lacemakers,
 
I have volunteered to run the Christmas Card Exchange this year so it is
time for you to decide if you would like to participate.  
The exchange is open to new and experienced lacemakers and certainly is an
enjoyable experience. 
I will require names by 7th November and will send out pairings one week
later, so you can start making cards now.
 
Please do not put your name forward if you will be unable to finish and post
your card prior to 4th December, as it is very disappointing if you do not
receive a card after sending one.
 
All replies must be sent my email address f...@tpinstruments.com.au
Cards must be sent  to your partner  by 4th December, so they will receive
them before Christmas.
Jenny Brandis will again be displaying all cards sent so please remember to
take a picture of your finished card and email it to Jenny, along with a few
details. 
Previous Arachne card exchanges can be viewed at the following address
http://www.brandis.com.au/Arachne/2009/index.html
if you would like to look at them.
 
 
I will require the following information by 7th November if you would like
to participate and pairings will be sent out one week later: 
 
 
Name:
 
Address:
 
Email address:
 
Number of cards you want to send:

Delightful--what a charming display with informative notes!  Nice job

for embroidery friends so didn't join the card exchange for the obvious 
reason--procrastination.  Some of the items were started in August  have 
visited Wales (LGUK summer school), earning frequent flyer miles along the way! 
 But I'm very impressed by the creative output  motivated to do better in 
2010--Clay will you assign me a card partner in January?  ;-) Susan, in Erie,

Greetings, festive Spiders!

The deadline for joining the Christmas Card exchange has come and gone, 
and I have worked out the pairings of partners.  Tomorrow, I will send 
out emails to each of you who signed up for the exchange.  As it 
happened, an even number of people joined the exchange, so each person 
will only need to make one card to exchange.  If there are any of you 
who wanted to exchange with two, and are disappointed, email me, and 
I'll see if I can't match up a few more of you!!


So be looking for your emails tomorrow!

[lace] Christmas Card Exchange... official launch

[Clay Blackwell]

Greetings, Lacemakers!

The 2009 Arachne Christmas Card Exchange has officially begun!


Basic rules:

- You will trade a card with another lacemaker.  

- Your card must have some handmade lace in or on it.  
It can be any kind of lace.  The card can be any kind, 
handmade or purchased, as long as it has your own handmade
lace somewhere.  


You may design your own piece of lace, or you may use a design
by another lacemaker.  On your card, identify the designer as 
well as the lacemaker.


- The card *must* be mailed by Dec. 5 so it will arrive well
before Christmas, to be enjoyed.

- This year, each person is allowed to sign up for one exchange. The
person who receives your card will be the person you send a card to. 
Persons who are willing to do more than one card will be placed on 
an emergency list to send to participants who did not get their card. 


Think carefullySign up ONLY if you are willing to
make some lace and send the card.  It is extremely
disappointing to send a card and not receive one back.
This seems to happen every year.  


If you have signed up and have an unforeseen situation arise
which prevents you from completing your card, please let me know
as soon as you can so that I can arrange a substitute for you!

Before you send your card, be sure to scan it and send the file
to Jenny Brandis so that she can add it to this year's collection
of cards on her website.  Also, be sure to include the name of
the lace designer if it is not your own design.  

To see previous years cards, go to 


www.brandis.com.au/arachne/


When you have sent your card, please email me and let me know.
That way, if the card does not arrive, we will know it is lost
in the mail

And when you receive a card, you should email a thank
you to the sender so he/she knows it was received.


If interested in participating, send a private email to me at
clayblackw...@comcast.net.  (Do NOT send to the List.)  Please put
*Arachne Card Exchange* in the subject line!  Send in
your name by Oct 15 (but you can start planning and
making lace right away).

Give your name, address, email, and how many exchanges
you wish to do (1, or 1 plus a standby..).  Also, please tell me 
whether you want your exchange to be within your own country or 
with someone in another country.  

I realize that my server, the infamous and unreliable Comcast 
is shamelessly rude about intercepting (and losing) some of my 
email.  Therefore, I will send send each of you a confirmation 
when I receive your email.  If you don't hear from me within two or 
three days of sending me your message, then you should find someone 
else on the list who is willing to forward the message for you!


Hopefully, someone who is able to get email through to me will 
volunteer to do this!


Contact me if you have any questions.

Have fun!!

Dear Spiders,

I have been in contact with Jenny, Brenda, and Alice, who have all been 
involved with the project in the past, and with their promises of able 
guidance, I have volunteered to organize the Card Exchange this year.


I have not yet set up my mail system to receive your emails on this, so 
don't write just yet.  I'll send out another email with the subject line 
that you need to use, as well as the information that you need to 
provide.  This should get out tomorrow...  Meanwhile, be thinking about 
what your design will look like, and go to Jenny's website to see 
previous years if you need inspiration!

[lace] Christmas card exchange?

[M. L. Mouzon]

I'm not sure, but I think it is time to at least start talking about 
it

What do you all think?

I am just thinking about this since I have been visiting my new 
granddaughter this weekend.  She came to us a month early, but is 
healthy and beautiful! It was a dangerous time for my daughter, but the 
doctors were wonderful, and she will be just fine! 
We had to leave her yesterday (much to my displeasure) so that we could 
get home in time to secure the house for Faye (thankful for the safe 
travel yesterday, and that the storm has lessened...still sad to leave 
that little girl!)
Spending today keeping an eye on the weather.  The night before we left, 
we were expecting to be coming home to a hurricane right where we live, 
but it has shifted and now it is just tropical storm conditions that we 
are dealing with.  They expect power to go out to about 30% of us.  We 
usually lose our power in these things because there are so many big old 
oak trees that have limbs fall on the power lines here.  That means our 
water pump goes out, but we have water in tubs.  Experience is a good 
teacher. 

So now, I am putting aside my Cinderella bonnet and looking at dainty 
little edgings (she is too small for newborn dresses yet).  Having a 
little girl to make lace for is going to have me busy for awhile.  So... 
I thought I might bring up the question of the Christmas Card Exchange.


It is a wonderful thing to do,  but needs advance time to plan and work 
the lace.  So, whoever it is that runs this... I'm ready :)

Let's get it started!

Debbie in Florida
who is thankful for the safe delivery of her new granddaughter
a tiny little miracle!

[lace] Christmas card exchange?

I'm not sure, but I think it is time to at least start talking about
it
What do you all think?

I had similar thoughts the other day, whilst reading though some old 
emails (the Arachne FAQ and Handbook postings that I kept) and musing 
over the various bobbin, ornament, bookmark and card exchanges we have 
had over the years. At the moment my pillow(s) has a queue forming of 
things I want to get done, but I agree, it is time to start thinking.



I am just thinking about this since I have been visiting my new
granddaughter this weekend.
Congratulations, Grandma, on the new arrival and I hope your daughter 
manages a full recovery from the ordeal.

Today I received my Christmas card from Lynne Cumming in England and what a
lovely surprise it was!  I hope that all of you will be able to see it once
the website with the cards is up and running.  A few days ago I had a look
again at last year's cards and they certainly are impressive and inspiring.

Congratulations to all who took part and have their laces posted so 
far!!  The work is beautiful!!  I love lace designs for 
Christmas...snowflakes, stars, angels, and candy canes all look prettier 
in lace!  Jenny, you did a wonderful job posting the pieces...such nice 
large pictures!  I wanted to take part this year, but just couldn't.  I 
do hope to do it again next year though. 
Once again...the hard work that went into the lace pieces shows.  The 
cards are lovelyand it all puts me in a wonderful Christmas mood.  
Thank you to all...I feel as if I was also a recipient!!

[lace] Christmas Card Exchange website

[Jenny Brandis]

Hello from your 2006 Christmas Card website person :) this is the 
last update before the site is made viewable. Please make sure that 
if you want your card to be available for viewing that it has been 
sent or that you let me know it is coming.


To date I have heard from 23 lace makers that they have sent their 25 
Christmas cards and have emailed their photos or scans of the lace to 
me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be included in the 2006 Arachne 
Christmas Card Exchange website.


Most people have said where their idea/pattern/inspiration comes from 
and I have also received scans of the prickings of some of the 
original designs. Well done ladies, this is what makes Arachne such a 
wonderful group, our willingness to share our knowledge.


The website is at  www.brandis.com.au/2006/index.html but will not 
have the photos available until closer to Christmas. This is so that 
the far flung members have a chance of receiving their cards before 
they are visible on the website. In the meantime, the site does have 
a few tutorials to assist you in sending your photos and scans.


Remember to scan or photograph your work before posting it, or asking 
the recipient to do so. Email the files to me for the website and if 
you have designed your own lace - please consider including the 
pricking for inclusion in the site.

  Hi folks - did anyone put their hand up to
 organise this? 

I've been gone 5 days, but can't find any messages of
someone agreeing to organize an exchange.  Since no
one else has taken it on, I'm willing to set up the
exchanges, but cannot do a webpage of the results.  We
would need a person to volunteer to do so, if a
webpage is desired.  (Thanks, Barbara, for doing it
the past couple years.)

I would enjoy participating in the Christmas Card Exchange suggested by Bev. 
I don't think I would be any good at organising it, too butterfly brained 
for that I belive, but could easily fit in the making of a Christmas card or 
to.  I thoroughly enjoyed the Bookmark Exchange that we had years ago when I 
was las on this list.

I promise not to keep posting about this, but I wanted to remind you all
that I'm still receiving scans of new and beautiful lace, and as I receive
them, they go up for you to see and enjoy. There have been five additions
since the original page was unveiled. So please keep checking back from time
to time! The date will be changed to reflect the most recent additions. New
lace is at the top. There's a link to my email address at the very bottom.

http://homepage.mac.com/bejoyce/arachne2005/

I also want to say how much I appreciate all the emails  I've received
thanking Bev and me for setting up the exchange and the web page. You're all
most welcome!

Enjoy, and Happy Holidays to all,

Before I give you the URL, a few quick tidbits:

First I'd like to thank Bev for all her work in organizing this exchange. It
has been such fun to see all the lace, and for each of us to make a new
friend in another part of the world. Thanks, Bev!

Second, please, please do send me email with any additions, corrections,
changes or comments regarding the web site. My email address is at the
bottom of the web page. I would love to have additional information such as
the full names and locations of some of the lacemakers and recipients, names
of designers of the lace, source of the design, threads used, and anything
else that you think might be of interest to others.

Third, there is a gift on the page to all of us: Laura Sandison designed a
Rosaline Snowball for her card, and she has provided the pricking and
instructions. If you click on the link below her card, you will be able to
download the material. Thank you, Laura!

The images are posted in the order I received them. As I continue to receive
scans and photos, I will change the date at the top of the page so you will
know whether there have been additions since your last visit. I will now
start posting the newest images at the top of the page. As you scroll down,
once you recognize a piece of lace, you'll know you've seen all the newest
pieces.

Important: If you haven't received your card yet, it is very likely that it
is delayed in the mail. Just in case your sender posted a photo, you might
like to wait to get your card before visiting the site.

And now, here it is for your viewing enjoyment:

And all the lacemakers should be SO proud!!  I really can't tell which were
made by beginners - isn't that a nice thing!!  

I was maxed out with other projects this fall and could not consider doing
an ornament...  but count me in next year!!  I'll look forward to seeing
more ornaments as they're added to the page!

[lace] Christmas card exchange, Thank you

[Brenda Paternoster]

Yesterday I received a lovely card from Mary Robinson in Nebraska.  
Thank you.


It's a red and gold star inside a bangle which is stuck onto a printed 
card, positioned over a wreath above filled Christmas stockings.  The 
lace ornament is detachable, so it will added to my growing collection 
of lacy Christmas ornaments which all come out again each year.  I've 
just scanned both the card and the ornament to send to Barbara as 
Mary's name wasn't on the list of having sent scans.  The card is still 
intact, I just slipped white paper underneath the lace for the close-up 
scan.


Mary, you say you are a beginner lacemaker, but the lace is well 
worked; your tension is good.  It's not easy using metallic threads for 
BL, especially the wrapped ones.  Your comments about going to your 
first BL workshop and being able to handle the bobbins before 
purchasing them reminded me of my early days of lacemaking (mid '70s).  
As a new student I could have whatever bobbins the teacher could get 
hold of; sometimes old and often quite mediocre, sometimes very nicely 
turned new ones, and sometimes plastic.


Wishing you and yours a very Happy Christmas

Re: [lace] Christmas Card Exchange web site

Bowing to Bev's request, I will wait to get the go-ahead from her before
posting the URL for the Christmas Card Exchange web site. This means that,
although it won't be posted before 12/15, it might be significantly later.
Bev will let me know when she thinks the time is right.

I also want to say that if I offended or embarrassed anyone by posting the
list of names of the lacemakers who had sent me scans, I certainly want to
apologize. Since the names will be on the web site, along with the lace, in
a couple of weeks, it never occurred to me that anyone would object. Sorry!

On December 15, I will post the URL for everyone to see the scans of this

Meanwhile, a few tidbits to whet your appetite: I have received scans of 23
different pieces of lace.

I thought it might be a good idea to post the names of the makers of the
lace I've received. I tried really hard to keep them organized, and I don't
think I lost anyone, but sometimes email goes astray, and mistakes do
happen. If you don't see your name below and think you sent me a scan of
your lace, please send it again [EMAIL PROTECTED].

I will continue to accept new scans as long as people send them to me. When
you receive your card, if the maker's name isn't shown, please feel free to
scan the lace and send the scan to me.

One more thing--when the page goes up, you'll see that there's a lot of
information on some listings, precious little on others. Please feel free to
send me any additions and/or corrections. It's no trouble to go in and add
or change text.

[Annelore Stone]

Hello,

I sent this to Lace Chat yesterday, and I should have sent it to Lace.

My Christmas Card Exchange arrived safely on Saturday.  It is a very pretty
piece of lace made in the shape of a tapered ornament.  Many thanks to Jane
Dobinson of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, for this lovely card with the
removable ornament which will be on my Christmas tree this year!  I wish that
I would have thought of doing such an interesting pattern.  Perhaps I will get
to meet you in Montreal next year.

Now that my exchange partner, Martin in Germany, has received my card I can 
mention that the pattern been posted on the IOLI website.  Go to

then choose the Pattern Gallery and you will see my pattern at the bottom of 
the page.  There are lots of other Christmas patterns there to choose from but 
probably a little late for anyone who has to make it and send it off.  Although 
having said that, my pattern is so simple I made it in a couple of hours.

Hi Lacemakers

Are we as lacemakers losing the meaning of Christmas as a time for sharing, 
we are all of differing standards with our lacemaking and I for one am just 
happy to have been thought of by a lacemaker somewhere else in this large

be making  what sort of lace they would like to receive.

[lace] Christmas card exchange

[bevw]

Hi everyone
Hearing no nays, a few yays, and agreeing that time flies, I hearby
undertake to organize a Christmas card exchange. I am going to follow
in Brenda's footsteps, and have one person send to another (A send to
B, B sends to C etc.). You can then meet two people, your recipient,
and your sender. If you want, you can send to more than one.
Last year I received a beautiful Torchon lace candle on a card. My
recipient got a snowflake that I'd made from Tamara's 2-pair
Inventions.

The deal is, make a lace Christmas card for your recipient. If you
wish to send something else, such as a postcard from your area, that
is up to you. The minimum requirement is lace on a card that can be
sent at basic letter rate (incl airmail). No one should expect more -
or less - and here's the qualifier: * please do not sign up if you
don't think you can make a card in time to send it before Christmas!
we have had other exchanges in the past, and it is s disappointing
to be on the neglected end :(

For fun, so that the rest of the list can enjoy, I will be happy to
post pictures of the cards/laces if small pictures are e-mailed to me
- either from the lacemaker or the recipient. Please credit the
designer if you are using a published pattern, or yourself if you are
the designer!

so -
Send e-mail to me with 'Christmas card exchange' in the subject line,
let me know if you want to send to more than one person, and please
include your mailing address. I'll take names until November 1 but
will start assigning well before then. let's say December 5 is the
deadline for mailing - does that sound fair?

bye for now

Re: [lace] Christmas Card Exchange and Beautiful Lace

[Jennifer Nielsen]

Hi Barbara,
I, too, think it will be lovely to see the Exchange gifts.
Rather than set up a new page, may I suggest the Arachne Webshots site and 
set up a collection in there specifically for these photos (as opposed to 
within each individual's collection).  We all have the URL for that site.

Just my tuppence worth  :)
And no I didn't get any lace related gifts - unless I count Tamara's book 
which came long before the Christmas tree went up.

Cheers

taken a decidedly chilly turn! especially between 4 and 6 am!

It started with my plan to scan the lace and put it on a web page so 
several
of my distant lace friends could see it. From that sprang the idea  that 
if
others would email me a .jpg image of the lace they received, I could  set 
up
a web page for all of us to see and admire all the different gifts we
exchanged with each other.

[lace] Christmas Card Exchange Page is UP!

[Barbara Joyce]

Thanks to all who responded to my suggestion to send me scans for a page to
show the beautiful lace pieces we exchanged with our Christmas Cards. I've
put up a page to start it off. Here's the URL:

http://homepage.mac.com/bejoyce/arachne/

I would appreciate some feedback. First of all, if you have any additions or
corrections to the information listed, please do send it to me
[EMAIL PROTECTED].

Second, I've tried to size the pictures so that you are able to see detail
on these beautiful pieces. I realize that some people have slower
connections, and with all the photos on this page, it may take a while to
load. Please let me know if you think the time to download the page is
excessive. If I get a few yes responses to this question, I will downsize
all the images, making the download faster.

I am happy to continually update the page with new scans, so please do send
me a scan of the lace you received, if you haven't already done so!

My best wishes for a happy, healthy New Year to all.

Enjoy!

After receiving an absolutely beautiful piece of lace (a silver

that I hope will appeal to others.

So--here's my offer: email me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with your name and 
location
and the name and location of the person who sent the lace to you. 
Attach a
.jpg image of your lace to the email (this can be a digital photo or a
scan). If you have any additional information about the lace--the kind 
of
lace for example--include it and I'll be happy to put a caption with 
that
information.

I hope lots of us respond to this--it would certainly be fun to have a 
place
where we could ooh! and ah! over our lovely work. If I get even a few
pictures, I'll set up the page and post the URL.
