Re: [lace] Interesting lace making "machine"
I have seen that article before. Thanks for sharing it. Isn't the little machine curious?! And clumsy. The question to ask is "Has anyone ever seen this machine?" - it is a drawing for a patent, probably was never made. (how to build a better mousetrap comes to mind...)

[lace] Interesting lace making "machine"
Found this interesting article while looking for a pattern for a lace pillow stand. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/20776/20776-h/chapter_14.html Scroll down to "Machine for crossing the threads - Fig. 780".

[lace] Halloween lace patterns
I have noticed over the years of not seeing to many Halloween lace patterns. Of coarse I also know that Halloween is not celebrated all over the world like it is in the states here. I stated thinking more about Halloween paterns and remember seeing a witch pattern in an old Lace Guild ( from the Hollies in the UK) Calender. The year was 1999. She is a Honiton witch that was designed by Jacqui Southworth. I also know there is a witch pattern I think in an old Lace Express Magazine. Not sure which issue right off the tip of my head. But that is all I know off right now. It is making me think I should design something. I have never designed any bobbinlace except for an Christmas ornament with tatting inside. Of coarse these days my time is so limited for I do take are of my very young Grandchildren, the youngest being 6 months old. I love Halloween...and I want to make some Halloween bobbinlace or needlelace. If anybody that can design lace either with a needle or with bobbins send me the design. Maybe I can wing it and make it. That would be so cool.

Re: [lace] Looking for Halloween Lace Patterns
This year's IOLI pattern CD includes a Hallowe'en cat. It's a simple tape with leaves for eyes. The original is black with orange eyes, but you could do the eyes with glow-in-the-dark thread if you want it spookier. If you belong to an IOLI Charter group, they should have received their copy by now, even if nobody went to convention. Robin P.

[lace] Looking for Halloween Lace Patternss/ Ithaca Lace DAys
One of my favorite holidays is Halloween. I know there are alot of Christmas patterns out there, but what about Halloween? If you know of a Halloween pattern in either bobbinlace or needlelace can you please let me know what the pattern is and where it can be found. Are there other people on the list that LOVE Halloween? Also this year money funds in my family are are really tight so I can't take any lace classes even though I would have love to be in the Milanese class. I love Milanese Lace with all the braids. I have made a few of Louise Colgan patterns. But I do plan on going to Ithaca on Saturday the public day to view lace...to look at "ALL" the vendors will have for sale and just drool. I am also going to try to be there for the banquet too...but I don't know right now if my money will get to the registrate in time. But I hope so.

[lace] Ithaca
I heard this morning that I have got a place in Jacquieâs Milanese course at the Ithaca Conference in October. Now I must get out of Bedfordshire mode and into Milanese mode! Malvary in Ottawa (Nationâs Capital) where we have a sunny/showery day, but thankful that on Sunday Irene slid past us and only gave us a day of strong winds and only a few spatters of rain. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
