[lace] Lace Express

Dear Friends I have just received my regular copy of the lace magazine Lace Express and am sorry to find that it is to be the last one. This magazine has been around for some years and has added greatly to my enjoyment of lacemaking. It is has also been a great teaching resource. The

Rosemary, and fellow lacemakers, The only lace demo I have knowledge in Málaga (Spain) in June is LAS LAGUNAS - MIJAS COSTA - MALAGA Saturday 10th. June Respect to Lace Express, as far as I'm concerned as designer and a regular collaborator, it is a bad new, and sad for all who love lace.

Re: [lace] Lace Express

I would like to share with you a post I published in my blog a few weeks ago. I think it is interesting for many lacemakers to know that and reconsider some attitudes. http://vueltaycruz.es/en/lace-makers-appeal.html PD. The Karpenko's have not retired. They just could not keep the business

Re: [lace] Lace Express

Agree one hundred percent. If there is an archive where copies can be purchased to benefit the printers or their designate I'm happy to do so. This was part of my happiest times many years ago and have been counting the years till I could again. Would be happy to do whatever folks felt was

Re: [lace] Lace Express

That is great news. !! What a relief. In medicine we have started to preserve books that go out of friends, and it's amazing how smart people were, and how much I've save myself from re-creating the wheel by turning to sources who knew so much. I'm delighted that I am not too late to benefit

Re: [lace] Lace Patterns-Value

I wonder what the average amount of time is for designing a pattern? When we ask people to contribute a pattern to a project are we essentially asking for 50 hours of their time? At a rate of say, $10 an hour, is it the same as soliciting $500 from people or asking them to provide over a week a

RE: [lace] Lace Express

That's what made me order my Binche Kompact pattern: seeing it on someone's blog. Sadly some ink is fading before I've finished the pattern. OK more than four years is quite some time to work on it. Then again I have trouble finding a printing service that would make a cheaper copy for a friend

[lace] Lace Patterns-Value

I have always been interested in the sort of disconnect in the lace world between the amount of effort that it takes to design a bobbin lace pattern and the amount of value that is associated with that. Simply designing and making a piece is just the first step. Designing a pattern is really

Re: [lace] Lace Express

I have noticed, on Pinterest, what language you search for things has a huge impact on how many and what quality you get. It is possible that entire markets were wiped out, but we may not be feeling it in our own. As someone who designs, it is very, very sad. It is not the money that bothers me,

Re: [lace] Malta

You must go over to the island of Gozo not far from Malta easily done on a day trip. We went to the museum it's small but some interesting lace. We also found a shop selling lace on the Main Street of Valletta. We asked the shop owner if he had any old lace we could see and he had pull out

RE: [lace] Lace Express

Dear Carrie, I am glad you have gotten your life back. It is sad that Lace Express is discontuing publication. But, all is not bleak in the lace world in your area. As always, the Metro Chapter of the IOLI is just across the river from you, and the Lost Art Lacers a bit farther away. Lace classes

RE: [lace] Lace Express

I did read Antje's blog at the time but I wonder if the patterns on Pinterest really have that big an influence on the sale of the magazine. I have opened some of these scanned patterns but find them of no use what so ever. The resolution is so small that once the pattern is enlarged the lines

I am going to Malta in August this year and would like to know what I should make a point of seeing while I am there, especially any lace shops / lace displays etc. Can anyone please help me ? Many thanks Julie Todd from New Zealand - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com

Re: [lace] Malta

Unfortunately Julie, there is not much lace on display in Malta and no dedicated museum, though a few pieces could be found here and there. Perhaps if you tell me how long you are here for (and which days of the week), I will ask at a lesson I attend in Qormi. The parish church of St George dos
