Hello Devon, hello Jeri, hello lace-friends, Back in town since sunday evening but yesterday evething went wrong so here I am. The book Spitzen von der Renaissence.. is overwhelming. It is as till said you can make an appointment and see it at the library of the museum. And in the museum are 56 pieces from this collection on display. It could be that this part is closed because they don't have enough stuff. So the best is to ask when buying the ticket than they send somebody from another part to the laces.

[lace] Convention meeting of Arachneans - per Convention Co-Chair
Dear Lacemakers and the Volunteer who has offered to work on this project: Following is a letter from Lee Daly - so we can all see what she recommends: Thanks, Jeri There are times when I get caught up with lace-chat and lace-digest but this month will not be one of them. The regional meetings are scheduled right after the opening reception and sometimes the Arachne's meet after that. The reception is on the top floor of the hotel and at least, the Eastern region will congregate there (depending upon region attendee count, possibly more). After that, the room is open and you may meet there. I think on at least one occasion, the Arachnes met at the same time. I would appreciate if you at least introduced yourselves to the regional director before congregating. As for meals, we can put a reserved sign on 2 tables for the breakfast, and 2 for the luncheon. Perhaps someone would like to make an Arachne symbol/sign/indicator so it is known who can sit there? I would prefer not at the banquet, though. IOLI board officers need a reserved space then and I think it makes others uncomfortable to see too many reserved tables. By then, you should have become acquainted with the other Arachnes to plan to sit together, anyway. Feel free to post this for me. Sometime after August, I expect to be caught up again.

Re: [lace] bones and thorns and pins - and linen thread ?
(snip) The best-known lace in Finland comes from Rauma, where a sophisticated industry flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries, but in rural areas they used what they had: unshaped twigs for bobbins and even birchbark for prickings, to make peasant laces, often of coloured linens, which still trim the aprons and caps of folk costumes. Bridget in Watford, England. Whoa ! wasn't there someone looking for a source for colored linen threads on the list a little while ago ?

[lace] Today's post - not secret in any way!
This is possibly more suited to chat, but as it concerns hard to get mounting materials and bobbins I decided it was lace enough... Those who have subscribed to Lace for a couple of years or more might remember my Bucks point Hearts and Snowflakes pattern - the complicated one with the loopy gimps (enough to drive any sane person loopy!). For ages I was looking for something suitable to frame it in, and then last November at the NEC there was a framer who actually agreed to have a go at making a regular hexagonal frame to fit - and didn't charge the earth for doing so. Well, it has been a long wait because they have been busy and this was something out of the ordinary (normally you can get circular, octagonal or square/rectangular frames, but if one does a hexagon it is irregular). One framer who frequents the large shows told me that it would require special setting of the jig, so they wouldn't be able to do it. All of the circular ready made trays and frames (like the Framecraft one) were about 1/8th inch too small - so the picots would have been covered. Anyway, if anyone in the UK was mad enough to make the piece, and wants to know where to get a frame to fit, do get in touch. The other bit of post was the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette bobbins that I had ordered - Bev posted them on Friday, and they reached me, in the UK, this morning (our postman was truly amazed!). They are lovely. It really made a nice change from bills! -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Sally Johanson, Author of Traditional Lace Making
Dear Lacemakers, Lena Dahren, who is Second Secretary of OIDFA, and is one of the Swedish representatives on the Council, has been informed of our lengthy correspondence about Sally Johanson. She has kindly sent information that owners of Ms. Johanson's book may wish to print and put in their books: -- Dear Jeri, I have been told about the discussion about the book Knyppling written by Miss Sally Johanson, and which was translated to English in the 1960's. I write to you as I somehow have seen your name before, and you seemed to be interested in the discussion. Miss Johanson was my boss for many years, so I think I can talk for her in this case, and I do not mind if you will forward this to the lacemakers on Arachne. --- Miss Sally Johanson started working for the bobbinlace renewal in Sweden in 1936. You must realise she worked out of the Swedish point of view, which is a very small lace country compared to England, Belgium, France, etc. but by the location in the far north, still having old traditions of freehandlace, etc. The book Knyppling is a development of the teaching/learners book Handledning i knyppling written 1940-1950. Knyppling written in 1963-4 was written for Swedish educational purposes. When I started working with Miss Johanson in 1976 the English translation was in the drawers of the persons who might need to correspond with English speaking people, but Miss Johanson was not happy with the translation. Why? I do not know, she never said. We were told it was a bad translation. Miss Johanson was a person who never, ever showed off her knowledge. She would never ever say she was the best, or that her knowledge was of any kind better than anyone else. I would not say she was shy, but she never put herself in the frontline. The fact that she was elected as president of OIDFA, is that she was elected, not because of her own nomination - she would never have nominated herself. The text that I understand has been seen as insulting has to be the text of an editor or translator. Translation of books is a hazard, as it is not the original writers who do it, and as MIss Johanson did not speak any other language than Swedish, she could not read and check the text. The editor of a translated originally Swedish unknown book needs to shout out that this unknown author is worthy of reading. The fact that Miss Johanson never agreed with the English translation of her book might be that the editor/translator, or who ever it was, had written that she was the best. It was something she never would have said herself. Miss Sally Johanson was born 1915. She was a trained weaving teacher who started to work within the Swedish handicraft movement 1936, with bobbinlace as her speciality. She died 1984.

[lace] Margaret Hamer's Lace 2
Margaret Hamer's Lace, Part 2 Margaret's lace collection has only a few items that would be found in the Lace Salesrooms. It is the collection of a lady who loved lace, who taught lace and wrote about it. The pieces reflect these interests and have been added to provide examples of a particular lace, or technique or simply because Margaret liked them. Margaret was a superb needlewoman and loved needlelaces as well as bobbin-lace. One of her favourites was Branscombe Point lace which came from the Devonshire area of England. There are several examples of this 19th -20th century tape-lace with its rich variety of needlepoint fillings. One of the distinctive features of Branscombe Point is the little nibs or picots that decorate the buttonhole bars or brides that link the tape together. These round nibs are themselves formed of tiny buttonhole stitches. The other feature is the buttonhole stitched shell-edge that forms a border round the outer tape of any item.It may be worked all round, or just along the top edge as in a tiny Modesty-vest that filled the gap in a V-necked dress. Branscombe Point is rich in needle-point lace filling stitiches. Some items, like the Modesty-vest, include only a few, a circular doiley mat has several filling stitches and flower-circles of tape are filled with woven wheels. An oval mat is is particularly rich in filling stitches, although the nibbs are very small. A single large cuff, shaped with a deep point at the front and a shallow back at the sleeve join, has tape motifs in a Roccoco design, all linked inside with various filling stitches while the bars and little nibs decorate the guipure ground. Pauline chose a Bertha type collar with lovely fillings, but I was happy with the three smaller items, plus a strange piece of border or cuff, which included the nibs and a variety of fillings, but had obviously been cut from some larger item with new edge borders added. Kathleen chose to keep Margaret's best piece of Branscombe Point lace in memory of her sister.

I checked the AVG website and I have the latest download which includes worms as well as virus's. I also viewed a message from Mary, Tatman subject Swischen Tradition und Moderne and I am sure he probably did not send it. In Mailwasher this was shown up as a virus. I have been viewing my mail through this system for ages now and have not downloaded anything suspicious. Maybe it is one of those worms that snatches bits from various emails and sends it out on the 1st of the month. It will be interesting to see if it does it again August 1st.

Re: [lace-chat] Wood-burning fireplaces
Hi Lynn, This reply is probably too late for you. I was told that the dark patches on the glass door of the firebox are caused by wood burning without enough air. Run a blazing fire and the glass should come clean. To clean manually: Take a sheet of newspaper and scrunch it into a ball. Dip it in a little water, then dip it in the ash of the fire. Then scrub the glass. This is sufficient abrasive to clean the glass. It doesn't take much elbow grease at all. Vickie in Shepparton, Australia Donald wrote: Does anyone know how to clean off the glass front of an enclosed wood burning fireplace. Now that we are down to the last few days here, I will need to clean it before we leave. Definitely going for a gas fireplace next time, can't breathe with wood burning and I feel guilty about all the pollution into the air, mind you it is a great way to get rid of papers.

My apologies to the original source, who's on chat and who will, therefore, see it twice. But I think it's clean enough for this list and too funny to keep undercover... From: J.F. Charlie, Jenny's husband, was a male chauvinist. Even though they both worked full time, he never helped around the house. Housework was woman's work! But one evening Jenny arrived home from work to find the children bathed, one load of clothes in the washer and another in the dryer, dinner on the stove, and the table set. She was astonished; something's up. It turns out that Charlie had read an article that said wives who worked full-time and had to do their own housework were too tired to have sex. The night went well and the next day she told her friends all about it. We had a great dinner. Charlie even cleaned up. He helped the kids do their homework, folded all the laundry and put everything away. I really enjoyed the evening. But what about afterward? asked her friends. Oh, that was perfect too: Charlie was too tired! - Tamara P Duvall mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Next in line are the children, because they're growing. Women can do without One way of looking at it is that if there is only enough meat for one, then there's not much food about, and the tribe had better restrict its numbers. The best way of doing this is making sure a woman's body fat is below a certain level (forget what), then she can't fall pregnant. There's a book I have (somewhere) called Cannibals and Kings which goes into this theory, and makes the necessity to restrict tribal numbers in times of shortage the reason for the (historical) low ranking of women. Made sense to me when I read it. Kill off the number of men in warfare, the women can still easily repopulate. Restrict the woman's ability to conceive, you restrict tribe numbers.
