So I'll try to be back as a regular visitor, at least lurking, an hope to become a resident of arachne town again.
Glad to have you back with us whenever you can mange
The weekend class I enjoyed was with Ulrike Loehr, we tried brandnew
patterns:
Art Noveau style flowers in PG lace! Wow!
The motives in silk of different colours on an in ecru background are
natural flowers, although their "spirit" is art noveau, they are clearly
recognizable.
Since you're a regular student of Loehr's, can you tell us what the "story" is on the *Mechlin* flowers? She showed us some prickings at the last IOLI Convention (summer '03, in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ) and said the book would be called "Ice Flowers" (playing on words as usual <g>) Being a great fan of Loehr's, I've been looking forward to that book. But, although the flowers there were also somewhat Art Nouveau-ish, I assumed they were going to be all white (since "Ice flowers" is what frost paints on the windowpanes in wintertime). And, what you've been "test driving" past weekend is in colour, *and* in PG, so it's not the same thing...
Or, has she decided to re-think the original idea? Am I now looking forward to *two* great new books, or still one?
