[lace] Lacemaker monument
I know it is early in the morning, but I suddenly realised that I have several different postcards of three different lacemaker monuments in Spain, now I cannot find the original E-mail from what region in Spain Arachne friends would like to see the pictures of the monuments. I can't believe I am the only one lucky enough to have these. One is a 'bronze' looking sculpture - reverse of postcard just says The Lacemaker Barcelona One is a white marble Lacemaker sitting on a very large block/platform of marble - Almagro One is in stone - the lacemaker sitting on a very large block/platform of stone, not as high as the marble statue, this lady has a headdress, shorter dress, and boots on her feet - Camarinas - Galicia The first two sculptures are definitely more elegant, but even so, how wonderful to have three sculptures of a Lacemaker??? I don't know Spain, so if these are the missing monuments that you would like to see, someone please E-mail me, and I will ask my husband to scan them in for you all, if not, I too am interested in seeing even more sculptures in spain of other lacemakers.

[lace] Flanders Question
Gidday all, Has anyone made the piece called Circular Mat With Peas In The Round, on page 33/34 of Inge Theuerkauf's Tierisch Flandrisch ? If so can you tell me which method you used to join the end to the start ? I'm thinking of doing this piece, and looking at the photo and the working diagram it looks to me like the start join have been done using the normal Torchon type method rather than the more European overlapping sewing with a needle way. I would like to do it using the overlapping way but am wondering if it would work successfully ?

[lace] hello
Hi everyone, It was nice to go back on Arachne after being absent from the list for several years. I still recognise some names and especially nice to see some of you at the IOLI's 50th anniversary. Isn't Janice Blair's swan mask beautiful. Congratulations, Janice! I missed the Ithaca Lace Day, but was happy to have visited the Lutton Museum, the Cecil Higgins Gallery in Bedford, The Allhallow Museum and the Honiton Lace shop on my travel to UK recently. I received a lot of travel tips from Robin Panza and Betsy Sykes, my local lacemaking friends.

[lace] Lacemakers in Southern CA
I have heard from Marilyn Niven. She was evacuated for a day and is back at her home. Doretha Albee has evacuated to her daughter's house. Doretha lives in Santee and the fire has not reached there yet. We all send our thoughts and prayers to Southern California that this will end soon.

Re: [lace] Flanders Question
I don't know that I've made this exact Flanders pattern, but I've used the overlap method of joining several Flanders pieces and have been please with those results every time. Much neater than a Torchon join--nearly invisible.

[lace] Needlelace and varigated
Hi All, I have been having so much fun with my Needlelace!! So far I finished the class piece, made another flower with two leaves and have a third flower done (the last in orchid pink for me). I've also thought up some possible Christmas designs for small pins to wear. I'm hoping to get a number of small pieces done for Christmas presents. Lots more practice (and fun) for me and gifts done too! I *have* to pick up a piece morning and evening. It's so much fun!! My hands love playing with a needle, it's like sewing on a thousand sequins and I used to do that a lot. The practice is helping. I still have some kind of mental block about the Pea Stitch but I found the hand-out from class so I will keep that with the NL. I keep thinking I know how to do it and end up with another snarl of thread. I miss not being able to write notes on my pattern. I guess I'll just have to do that before putting the contact paper on. On the second piece I buttonholed around 3/4 of a leaf before I remembered that there were supposed to be three more threads couched under the buttonholing : ( I've been getting reacquainted with my seam ripper. I am pleased to announce that I did get a leaf done with the Corded Single Brussels stitch where the stitched row is angled to the vein in the middle. I have a tendency to go up on the right side of the row (working left to right) so making the veins go down was really going against my grain (like taking that color test!). Thanks for all the varigated comments, especially about dying the threads myself. I forget about using vinegar or salt to set the dye. I'll let you know what I come up with. My plan was for a small area that would look like water with the varigated thread. You all have lots of good ideas. I can see that choosing the section of thread to use, instead of just how it comes off the spool, could be very useful in getting all sorts of looks. I'll give it a try on my sampler first!

[lace] wonderful old pillow on ebay
There is an old pillow on ebay that seems to have a solid provinance and reflects a remarkable heritage. I hope it can be bought by someone who will appreciate it for what it is and will make it available for other lacemakers to appreciate! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=2569341424 Clay Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm really trying hard to find a word which rhymes exactly' with orange, for I feel that the second vowel sound is not as strong as the i in inge. It's more the one written as a back to front small e in phonetics. The closest word I can think of right now in Australian English would be Lozenge.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Finding Inner Peace
I think I've seen it before, but it's still funny... From: M.K. I am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me. By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace. It reads: The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started. I looked around to see all the things I started and hadn't finished. So, today I have finished one bottle of white wine, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of Baileys, my Prozac, a large box of chocolates and a quart of beer. You have no idea how good I feel. You may pass this on to those you feel are in need of Inner Peace... - Tamara P Duvall Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/ To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
