[lace] smile! it's a raffle...a memory raffle
OK, here is just the thing to lighten the mood! A new raffle!! I have enjoyed all the talk about old bobbins, especially the memories of Mr. Harrison's table with it's boxes of wooden bobbins that sold for one pound sterling each!! After seeing him first in the day (to be sure I didn't miss any special bobbins) I would go back at the end of the day with my change to see what treasures I could bring home with the money that was left over. So, just a little sharing of the moment...since there are not many of us who had the privilege to shop at Mr. Harrison's table, I will have a drawing for one of the pound lace bobbins I bought from him when living in England in the early 80's. This raffle will close on August 28. I will have my husband draw one name on the last day in August. If you are interested, please just send me your name. If you are a winner, I will email you privately and ask for your address, and also post the name of the winner to the list. I have so enjoyed the stamps that I won in a raffle, that I have been wanting to raffle something myself for awhile. I think with the memories that all the talk of old bobbins have brought up, this is the perfect moment for me to do just that. Sort of a memory raffle.

RE: [lace] smile! it's a raffle...a memory raffle
Hi Debbie, I remember Mr Harrison very well - all those suitcases that he brought, full to the brim, wooden bobbins in one, bone in another and goodness knows what in the rest. He just opened them up and tipped them out. I believe I was Chairman of Poole Bobbin Lace Circle at the time and we had invited him to be a supplier at our lace day. I won't enter your raffle, Debbie - I will have bought more than a few (probably wooden bobbins) at that lace day and one or two other occasions when I met him. I'll let others have a better chance of winning. Good luck to all who enter, Liz Pass (in Poole, Dorset with sun, cloudy, spots of rain) No virus found in this outgoing message.

[lace] lace Lets put an end to this
Hello Again I am hoping that by writing to the list again, that the hoo har last night will be at an end. Again I have been in contact with both sides. As I said last night Ruth is at the end of her tether, because her husband is so ill. She is very hurt by some of the comments addressed to her. If it had`nt been for Rosemary putting her post on the list, then no one would have known how bad things are for Ruth. Another member also agree`s with me. So maybe a kind word personally to Ruth will go a long way to help her. Thankyou Rosemary, in my book you did nothing wrong, in fact it has helped someone.Daphne still calm in sunny Norfolk England _ The next generation of MSN Hotmail has arrived - Windows Live Hotmail - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Not lace (but it could be) - help needed
Sorry this isn't about lace, but it could be if I make lace on my sewingmachine. :-D Does anyone own a Husqvarna Lily 550, who would be willing to photocopy the manual for me? Naturally I'd pay any costs involved. I've searched the web, but can't find one specific to this model. I've acquired a machine, but although it has the instruction video for it (which I've transferred to DVD), the manual that came with it is a general 400/500, and the 550 has a lot more buttons on the front than are described in the book. I can work out how to program it or watch the video/DVD each time I need to do something I haven't done before, but I'd rather have the proper instructions in printed form. Thanks.

[lace] lace Car Boot Treasures.
Hello again Its is me again, different subject this time. The post from Elizabeth prompted this one. I was at a boot sale once, and was rummaging through a tin of rusty bits and pieces [why I don`t know] when I found a wooden lace bobbin. I asked the man how much it was, he said well it int no good is it and charged me 10p Daphne wet Norfolk England _ 100s of Music vouchers to be won with MSN Music - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On their web site, they have manuals for newer models for download, but this model is around 10 years old. I know from previous experience of many years ago that they would send me to my Husqvarna dealer and he will be able to order it at an exhorbitant price. Failing getting a copy by another method, I'll have to do that. I almost pass the shop on my way to my lace group on a Monday, but that doesn't restart for another month or so. Basically I'm too lazy to drive over there before the class starts, and I'm too impatient to wait until around the end of September to get it - I'm sure I urgently need to know which of the 8 different buttonholes I need to use :-D.

Hi Jean and everyone You could try www.sewconsult.com They should have the manual for the 500 series for a small fee, and there is other useful free info that might apply to your machine, too. If you have some time, you could try some of the user forums for quilting machines which should show up on the search page, see if there is a relevant question to do with one or more features of the machine, or check the consumer reviews? sometimes they can be helpful.

[lace-chat] Dolly and the Queen - Humor
Dolly Parton and Queen Elizabeth went to the Pearly Gates on the same day. They both met with an Angel to find out if they would be admitted to Heaven. The angel said Unfortunately, there's only one space in Heaven today so I must decide which of one of you will be admitted. The Angel asked Dolly if there was some particular reason why she should go to Heaven. Dolly took off her top and said, Look at these,they're the most perfect breasts God ever created and I'm sure it will please God to be able to see them every day, for eternity. The Angel thanked Dolly, and asked Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the same question. The Queen walked over to a toilet, pulled the lever and flushes it without saying a word. Angel immediately said, OK, your Majesty, you may go into Heaven. Dolly was outraged and asked, What was that all about? I showed you two of God's own perfect creations and you turned me down. She simply flushed a commode and she got admitted to Heaven! Would you explain that to me?Sorry, Dolly, said the Angel, but even in Heaven, a royal flush beats a pair - no matter how big they are.
