Re: [lace] Princess Lace Making Machine on eBay

If you read through the posting, the seller has generously estimated that the 
Princess and bobbins are worth a total of $1,000, and has set his/her reserve 
at half that.   Seems like a lot to me.  And it's odd that they've got so 
many of those bobbins.  You could never get them all on a pillow like that!  
Even working half those bobbins on that pillow would be a challenge!

Hallo to Lori,  I  just wanted to ask if you  received the catalogue ok?
as it has been 2 weeks since I posted it and have not heard if it
arrived safely, we have been having postal strikes here in the UK  I
hope it has not delayed it.  Sorry to post this but I do not have Lori's
personal addy.
Happy lacing
Sue M Harvey

Gosh - and I've got 2 of them sitting in my spare room just waiting 
for me to get myself organized to SELL on Ebay instead of all this buying :)

I did use my Princess pillow once - and only once - a pain in the a..se.

Update -- The reserve price has just been lowered.

As to the bobbins, it's probably just happenstance
that they are in the same sale with the Loom.  The
previous owner, if a typical lacemaker, probably had
several pillows and a variety of bobbins.  Someone may
have just grouped the items for sale, and these ended
up together.

I agree...all of these could not easily be used on
this pillow at the same time.  A smaller bobbin would
suit the pillow much better.

Saturday.  Sampler classes were given, making tatted,
bobbin, and  Romanian Point butterflies.  A special
guest was Elena Dickson from Australia.

[lace] Help finding a pricking

2007-10-08 Thread Lorri Ferguson
Earlier this year I obtained a Swedish book Traditional Lace Making by Sally
Johanson.  Pictured on the dust jacket and on page 45 is a lovely piece/edging
'Foliage' by Nanna Willy Danielsson.
Does anyone have or know where to get this curved edging pricking?  I have a
small piece of it in a straight format but would like to do the circular
version.

Hi David,
seems your living on the street - in the middle of a dead end ;-).

Here are mine - living in a flat on the 3rd floor facing the trees in  
the SW (an abandoned railway trail):

 52°29'21.23N  13°27'23.88O

Best, Achim.

Hello Achim and all,

I'm enjoying looking people up on Google Maps.  Achim, when I travelled a 
little south and east from where you are I found dinosaurs (and a mammoth) 
in the woods! They are at N 49° 03.278   W 122° 21.214.


I'm located at N 49° 03.278   W 122° 21.214.  I was surprised to see how 
recent the photo was.  I can tell by the vehicles parked around my house 
that the picture was taken within the last two months!  However, at another 
place that I lived, the picture is at least 2 1/2 years old - and the 
houses are only blocks from each other.


Happy Thanksgiving to the other Canadians!

Nice shot. So how far south of you is the USA border. Doesn't look very far.
