Re: [lace] working diagrams
Hello Dorte, There is a lot of gaps in the story, and the Tonder lace diagrams has original more colours then the 4 we use now. The german, the belge and the french diagramms too have more then four colours.

RE: [lace] Fair Entries.
From: Elizabeth Ligeti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] the entries were limited to only those people who lived in that State. This, I feel would be one reason why they don't get many entries. Opening it up to anyone might get a greater response. State and county fairs were (and many still are) intended to show off the quality of products from that state or county. It was a showcase for that region's livestock, produce, handcrafts, etc. It seems bizarre to me to hear of Australians or Virginians entering the Colorado state fair. That seems like taking your sheep to an international stamp convention. If a fair is intended for more than just that region, it shouldn't be called a regional fair.

Re: [lace] Fair Entries.
Because Tamara said that she had not yet received her State Fair handbook, I'll jump in here... I've poured over my handbook (which arrived last week), and while I find that it clearly states that the objectives of the fair are to encourage the production of goods in the state, I have found no reference to limiting the entries to residents of Virginia, (although some departments are limited..) In fact, in Item VII, it clearly states, Competition is generally open to the world. So to all of you who would like to send your lace to the Virginia State Fair, I suggest that your first step is to visit the website: http://www.StateFair.com. Let's knock their socks off!! ; ) Clay - Original Message - From: Elizabeth Ligeti [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 11:16 PM Subject: [lace] Fair Entries.

Opening it up to anyone might get a greater response. 4 of us here in Melbourne entered the Colorado State Fair, with 9 pieces of lace, and I send lace to Darwin in the far north of Oz each year, as well as entering the Show here. It all adds up to a larger display of lace, and keeps the classes going. Winning or otherwise really does not come in to the equation - though it Is nice when your lace is looked upon kindly by the judges! The main reason I enter Shows is to keep lacemaking out there in front of all the people who come to these Fairs and shows, and browse through the Craft Halls. - someone might just get interested...! from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] Fair Entries.
It may depend on 'where' the funding come from. I work for a fair named the Western Washington Fair (commonly called the Puyallup Fair). It is a private, non-profit corporation and does accept entries from all over. And being the 6th largest fair in the US, ribbons won by animals are highly valued.

I have found no reference to limiting the entries to residents of Virginia, [...] In fact, in Item VII, it clearly states, Competition is generally open to the world. My Handbook still hasn't arrived, but I checked the website and, what Clay says is, indeed, correct. How new that rule is, I have no idea; it may have been in place for a year or two, without me noticing the change. But a change in policy it is, possibly resulting from the drop in the number of entries. There are a couple of remnants of the old regime (like appendixes g). In the Youth part of competition rules, the kids must still attend a school in Virginia (originally, that was meant to allow kids who went to private schools in VA but weren't residents of the State, to participate). And, even more telling... Section 36 - multi-generation projects - *specifies* that the competition is *not* limited to residents of Virginia :) Stands to reason - a grandchild is likely to reside in a different place than a grandma - but it wouldn't have been mentioned if it weren't something special... So to all of you who would like to send your lace to the Virginia State Fair, I suggest that your first step is to visit the website: http://www.StateFair.com. Let's knock their socks off!! ; ) Just don't forget two little details... 1) to have the items reshipped to you, you need to include a check or money-order for the amount *plus* $15 handling fee... That's where a dedicated lacemaker, who lived in the Richmond area, would have been handy; she could present the stubs (sine qua non), collect the pieces, and send them back at real cost, without the extra... That is also where people who are willing to drive over and deliver/collect (but, *collect* more than anything else) for a group from a single locality (Louise Hume did that once or twice, for the Lynchburg group) to redistribute at home, are simply *invaluable*. 2) Is a long story (apologies to Robin and Alice who've already heard it)... There is a rule - apparently immutable, though slightly bendable - that says a class cannot be judged unless there are at least 3 entries in it. With the continuing drop in the number of entries, it seemed sensible to cut down the number of classes, to insure that we would *have* 3 entries to judge; in the past, we were supposed to (though didn't) disqualify single entries, even if they were of best of Show quality, and even though it was no fault of the entrant, that nobody else submitted anything in that particular class. So far, so good; with luck, we'll be able to have 3 entries in at least some classes... But there's also another rule - and that one sems to be impossible to dislodge - which says you can only enter one item per class. IOW, you cannot compete against yourself. Seems silly to me, but there you are... In the past, that rule was by-passed by placing different items in a multitude of classes; now, it will be much more difficult, unless you're truly versatile (or want to show a piece from before you had your 2 yrs of the technique, and one from after. Both achieved in the past year g)... But, if you have two pieces of continuous BL - say, one a hankie edging in Torchon, another a bookmark in Binche - it's no go...

[lace] Re: Fair categories (VA)
Obviously, the subject is very much on my mind... :) On Aug 19, 2004, at 15:15, Helen Bell wrote: This year we had a new class added to our section, which I think the Fair people added. It was listed as Lace Christmas Ornament (not knitting or crochet), and my co-Judge and I respectfully suggested that perhaps it be reworded for next year to Lace Holiday ornament so that people can enter ornaments relating to other holidays such as Easter, Halloween, etc, and not just Christmas. The VA Fair has a separate Section for Holiday Ornaments - not part of the 2 lace Sections. I suppose that would be another possibility of by-passing the one item per class rule, especially since there are several classes there which would be suitable for lace. Another avenue to explore would be the two senior Sections - one for over 55s and one for over 80s (if any of us live that long g). We (the judges) get called to other Sections as well, *if the items entered there are marked as lace*. We found the hardest class to judge this year was the novice class, as it was 3 entries - a piece each of Honiton, tatting and carrickmacross. Precisely... :) That's why we have a separate *Section* for beginners, and it duplicates all the non-beginner Classes, except the educational (non-competitive) one. --- Tamara P Duvall http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) Healthy US through The No-CARB Diet: no C-heney, no A-shcroft, no R-umsfeld, no B-ush. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace-chat] queen elizabeth
i am reading dracula by bram stoker, and i bought a book called The knights templar about the christian crusades, and i am going to read the two of them first before i think about any more. I have recently read the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It is interesting to see that when I went to research a few things in the book I found that people took the whole book as fact and are quoting it as such on web sites chatting about Da Vinci's works. But things in the book do make the mind tick a bit. Cheers, Yvonne.

Hello to my secret pal, Well if patience is a virtue, then I guess I am not very virtuous, however it was well worth the wait, I am sorry I ever doubted in you. What a treasure trove full of wonderful things. Thank you for the book and no I do not already have it. The lace note cards are beautiful, the bobbins will go on my pillow tonight, the spider stamp so cute and the tape dispenser quite handy. Again, Thank you, thank you for everything.

[lace-chat] Harry Potter
Does anyone else visit J.K. Rowling's personal web-site? The door is open again for another clue about the 6th. book..but people in North America can't access it for some reason :( I tried going through the UK site but still have no joy :( Also, I've found the spider, beaker, leaf ,and feather..but now what? Where's the cauldron? or does the question mark refer to the book in the bookcase? Since the door is only to be opened for a short time, I'd really like to know what's behind it. I know you have to find a light switch, throw the darts at the dart board in a particualr order, and do something with a bunch of numbers to get to the clue. Has anyone found out what to do with the telephone..or is that to come later?

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Father Son Hunting
From: J.S. A father and son went hunting together for the first time. The father said, Stay here and be very QUIET. I'll be across the field. A few minutes later, the father heard a bloodcurdling scream and ran back to his son. What's wrong? the father asked. I told you to be quiet. The son answered: Look, I was quiet when the snake slithered across my feet. I was quiet when the bear breathed down my neck. I didn't move a muscle when the skunk climbed over my shoulder. I closed my eyes and held my breath when the wasp stung me. I didn't cough when I swallowed the gnat. I didn't cuss or scratch when the poison oak started itching. But when the two chipmunks crawled up my pants leg and said, 'Should we eat them here, or take them with us?'

[lace-chat] Secret Pal thanks
Dear Secret Pal in Italy, I received your parcel this week. You sent it registered post (thank you, but you don't really need to, the Australian Post Office is very reliable, they just like to know what's in the parcel at the moment because of terrorism measures), so I had to wait 3 days before I had a morning free from work, because I had to pick it up at the post office. But it was well worth the wait! Thank you so much for the lovely towel, even if you didn't embroider it yourself :-). Actually, there is lots of room left on the Aida band next to the duck, so I might add my own ducks to this one!!Next year... I love the pair of Italian bobbins, they are bigger than the English ones we use, but they are very elegant. Thank you, they will be great for my collection, and I do use them, from time to time. These will be good when I have a thick gimp to work, or a very long length of thread. I also like the thread. The more choice, the better! I'm putting it carefully in my thread box until I think of something. It's very exciting to think you will be in Adelaide!! I know we are not supposed to know who our secret pal is until November, but I do hope you will make yourself known to me!!!It would be terrible to know I have been to the same conference as my secret pal and didn't meet her!! I will arrive only on Wednesday evening, but I will be there until Sunday morning. Of course, if you come to Melbourne, you will let me know, won't you, and come and spend one or 2 nights with us if you can?

[lace-chat] lace workshops
Hi All, Just wanted to tell you that LACE [Lacemakers and Collectors Exchange] just completed a workshop with Yvonne Scheele-Kirkhof. It was a marvelous 2 day experience and she is a lovely person and a wonderful teacher. We truly enjoyed having her with us. Some of us did Bedfordshire lace and another did Withof. If you have a chance to take a class with her, go for it. Her class at IOLI convention had been cancelled this year. Let's hope she is given a chance next year to teach at convention.
