[lace] Anna magazine - July 2006 issue
I just picked up a copy of the July issue of Anna in which there is a course on making a a very but elegant Bruges collar in bobbin lace. The course actually describes how to design your own collar using different sized flowers. There is also a comment written: Laces are making a comeback on the fashion scene. And there is nothing old-fashioned about them! There is also an edging for an oval mat which could be described as a sampler. And 2 table runners, one of which has been worked with several different colours for the floral elements. The other one has a modern design element to it is made in bright green, but I think that it would look good in a variegated thread. There is also hardanger embroidery among the usual crotchet cross-stitch ideas knitting patterns. Have fun, Pene Penelope Piip [EMAIL PROTECTED] City of Tartu, Estonia - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fw: [lace] Anna magazine - July 2006 issue
I have quite a number of old Anna magazines during the 1980's and I think some from the 1990's but I haven't been able to buy them for the last 10 years, sadly. Mind you I have done a couple of projects from these old ones and would like to do some of the others. More wishes than time to do, sadly.

Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
Now, regarding summers in Chicago... Aren't your stores overly Air-Conditioned, the way ours are? I try not to spend longer in stores than necessary! And yes they often are over-air-conditioned, but you still have to melt getting from the car into the store. I find I very rarely need a jacket from June to October Sue - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Fwd: [lace-chat] embroidery tool
I'm moving this from chat to lace as I think it's relevant. Alice wrote: Take a look at something I've never seen before. Antique MARVEL HAND EMBROIDERER Embroidery Sewing Tool *** Item number: 290002437572 Even from the pictures, I'm not sure how it worked to embroider something. It looks more like a punching device for rugs. Initially I thought it was just part of a sewing machine, but on closer inspection (as close as the photo will allow) I think it's a hand controlled chain stitch device and would work in the same way as a chain stitch machine - and initially based on hand tambouring techniques.

[lace] plastic bobbins
Hi, I've recently acquired what seems like a fairly sizable number of plastic Midlands bobbins (probably around 15-20 pairs). They're all nice and smooth and have spangles but I don't like the way they balance in my hands compared to wooden bobbins. If anyone would take them off my hands (whether someone new who can't get hold of enough wooden bobbins, extras for classes, whatever) then please let me know.I'll pay postage to anywhere in the world rather than throw them out. If more than one person is interested, I'll probably split the bobbins or choose the most deserving case, depending on circumstances :o) Helen Helen, Somerset, UK Forget the formulae, let's make lace -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Looks like a tool for punchneedle embroidery, but much more complicated than the ones I have! Dee Palin Gloucestershire To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace-chat] number - try it
Ok Janice here's the quick answer You are required to think of a 2 digit number, which can be expressed algebraically as 10x+y, where x represents the number in the 10s column and y the number in the units column. If you add the two digits together you get x+y Subtract (x+y) from (10x + Y) and you get 9x (ie a multiple of 9). When you look at the symbols all the multiples of 9 are the same symbol. Each time you play the game the order of the symbols changes to make you think its something clever and complicated, but really whatever number you select, simply leads you to an answer which is a multiple of 9 Sue - Original Message - From: Janice Blair [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: lace-chat-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 3:37 PM Subject: [lace-chat] number - try it A friend sent me this and wants to know how it works every time. I am sure we have had similar ones before so maybe one of our wizards can explain it to me so I can pass it on. Janice This is amazing !!! http://milaadesign.com/wizardy.html In fact, I know the correct number but will stare at another one trying to confuse the game wizard, and the correct answer still appears. Sometimes I feel SO blond. I'm baffled. Enjoy, Cheryl To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] recipe for peach chutney
Hi I usually lurk, but a friend asked me if I had a recipe for peach chutney. I could not find one so I thought that I would ask my spider friends if they could help. Does anyone have such a recipe? I have always had help from the list when I have asked before, so I am once again hopeful.
