Has anyone found a obituary for Pat Earnshaw other than what was reported last week? I tried Google, and the only articles were those that appeared on Arachne. Not enough for a woman who did so much to advance the love of lace. (Does everyone know that your memos are all picked up on Google???)
Here is what is in my library, by Pat Earnshaw: 1. Bobbin & Needle Laces - Identification & Care 2. Development of Lace - Slide Presentation Script 3. Dictionary of Lace (Paperback) 4. Embroidered Machine Nets - Limerick & Worldwide 5. How to Recognise Machine Laces (Paperback) 6. Identification of Lace (Paperback) 7. Lace in Fashion 18th to 20th Century (Paperback) 8. Lace in Fashion Slide Presentation Script 9. Lace Machines & Machine Laces 10. Lace Machines & Machine Laces - Volume 2 11. Limerick Run Laces - An Introduction (Paperback) 12. Needlelace 13. Needle-made Laces - Materials/Designs/Techniques 14. Outlines and Stitches - Guide to Design - Includes Halas 15. Threads of Lace - From Source to Sink (Paperback) 16. Youghal and Other Irish Laces (36-page booklet) 17. Youghal Lace - The Craft and The Cream (36-page booklet) This list includes books published since 1983. Many more recent publications by other authors have piggy-backed off of Pat's research. My only personal memory of her was her Lace Identification class at the 1995 Annual Ithaca Lace Day & Conference (New York State). This is a large enough event (this year will be the 32nd) that teachers and speakers have been brought from overseas for many years. I was in Pat's class, and was able to purchase 3 pieces of lace for my collection at that time. Please, share your memories. This way Pat will be remembered on Google. It is my custom to Google and print obituaries, then place them in the books lace authors have written - not only for myself, but for the next owners of the books. You will find many pages devoted to Pat Earnshaw in Arachne archives: _http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html) Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
