Re: [lace] lace:testing
Hello Celia and everyone Folks must be busy! A good idea to see if things are working is to post a question - such as what are you working on? I'm between projects right now, working on what to do next ;) On 3/12/11, Celia Mulhearn po...@me.com wrote: just checking that my email is working -- Bev in Shirley BC, near Sooke on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada where we were not affected by tsunami and our hearts go out to those who were. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] lace:testing
That's a good idea... I'm working on bucks point fan which is coming along nicely and almost half done, and also making Russian tape lace trees.. they depict the seasons and have done Spring (in pink and pale green threads) and Autumn (Rust, yellow and orange) am working on Winter in pale blue, glittery white and silver and will do Summer in shades of Greens and yellowy green... They will hang in the window over my front door when finished. Good to see that my lacelist connections are working too. :-) Celia x SE London where the sunshone nicely today On 12/03/2011 16:40, bev walker wrote: Folks must be busy!

[lace] bucks point fan
Oh what a good idea for a semi-circular window. I like that.

Re: [lace] What are we working on (was lace:testing)
I've got 3 projects on the 'pillows' at the moment 1 (the most important...) a wedding garter for my daughter, and I wish they'd make a decision on the date so I knew if I could do anything else alongside it!! It's one of Biggins patterns, white with silver and blue 'rope style' fans and trails at the edges 2 a piece of Bedfordshire - actually the first of 4 corners of a hankie - one of Christine Springetts designs 3 a piece of honiton that's having the filling done. Haven't touched it since the end of November (lots of snow and couldn't get it out of the car, Christmas and aforementioned daughter announcing her engagement!) When the garter is finished then there's a fertility hankie for the same wedding heading on to a pillow!!

Re: [lace] What are we working on ...
Hi Sue and everyone You have an impressive set of projects :) What makes a hankie a fertility hankie, is it the design on the lace? Since I last wrote 'here' to the list, I'm looking at an Easter egg pattern from Anna, the 0392 number, wondering if I can find a 'cardboard egg' as suggested, or if Michaels sells styro eggs in the size I'd need...

[lace] Now on my pillow: Flanders
Haven't been on here for a long time! On my pillow, which was languishing for lack of use, is piece of Flanders from the book, Tierisch Flandrisch. My husband was taken with the cat, so that's what I decided to do. But only one repeat. I'll mount it as a picture so he can put it in his office.

Re: [lace] What are we working on ...
Actually, Michael may also sell the cardboard egg... I've seen other shapes, so obviously they'd have eggs for Easter!

Re: [lace] fertility hankie
Bev Walker wrote: What makes a hankie a fertility hankie, is it the design on the lace? I'm not an authority here, but I think the answer to the question is YES. I bet it's the same as for Pysanky Easter eggs, which I'm working on now, as it's the season. They, like many Christmas decorations, use fertility symbols. Christine Springett's fertility hankie in Lace for Special Occasions has what look like wheat sheaves on it. I can only assume it's a tradigional pattern for that, as her other Beds lace wedding hankie has hearts with sheaves of wheat in the heart, and I can only assume it also has fertility symbolism. If you make Pysanky eggs, the books tell you what the symbols mean, and you can thus 'personalize' the egg if you're making a gift. I don't think there's anything similar for lace. On the other hand church lace tends to have a lot of crosses and trefoils. lrb - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] fertility hankie
