Dear Lacemakers, Regarding https://www.laceguild.org/ pages
Before the website format that Jean and David Leader created disappears, back on January 12th I suggested you print a copy of the home page and tuck it in one of the lace books Jean wrote. Printing may work for you, but when I tried to do it - the page printed, but the black lace tie space was blank. Jean has been consulted and gives the following advice - if others are having the same problem: "You need to do a screen shot to get the black lace tie because of the way David set up the page. I don't know how to do that on Windows, but I'm sure someone will be able to tell you." "Before I forget, itâs fine with me to tell the story about the tie." Back in 2010, I invited Jean to Maine to rest from jet lag between teaching obligations that had taken her from Scotland to the far side of the Pacific from Maine, and on to New England - on the east coast of the US. There was an open week before she would teach the New England Lace Group. We went to Hallowell (mentioned in the Ipswich Lace book) for lunch. This is the delightful Federal period "Smallest City in Maine" - on the Kennebec River, and where my Ipswich lace ancestors traveled by ship enroute to claiming land grants in Maine after the Revolutionary War. They had the surname Lord, and that is the 18th century Ipswich lace connection to me. We went to a vintage linens shop in Hallowell, where I frequently shopped in search of laces, and pulled a black lace tie out of a container of jumbled hankies, doilies, etc. The price was very low, and I suggested Jean might like it as a teaching example. The black lace tie traveled back to Scotland, and not long afterwards a photo of it appeared at the top of all the pages in The Lace Guild's website! Small world.
