Re: [lace] Handwerken zonder Grenzen
Hello all, Handwerken zonder grenzen has its own website; http://www.handwerkenzondergrenzen.nl/ Unfortunately it is just in Dutch. You can reorder old magazines, even the 2003-123 magazine. But again it is only if you live in the Netherlands. It is also an expensive magazine, so reordering might be quite costly. My mother has bought some second hand ones in the past and they are lovely, but not the magazine you are looking for.

It is dutch, as am I, and says that it features crafts from all over the world. Could not find any info on whether it has lace in it too. Next time I am over there I'll make sure to buy a copy. Agnes Boddington - Elloughton UK Hello All! On another list, a member has requested an article (Guatemala Sampler, Issue 132, Oct 2003) from this periodical. If anyone can help, please contact me off-list. I've never heard of this mag--do they feature any lace or just needlework?

RE: [lace] Church lace
Dear Diane, et al, That's really quite helpful, as you can see from the picture of the lace, it is, in essence, torchon. I think careful measurement before and after washing the swatch will go a long way to figuring things out, and make it easier for it to stay in sync with the cloth. And probably easier to clean in the long run. I will be asking the head of the Altar Guild how they plan to clean something like this. I do like the hot hot water idea, although where I'm going to find a place to do that with 73 inches of lace is a problem I'll have to solve.

Diane Z wrote: Some time ago I washed my #50 thread linen torchon project in the washing machine on warm water in a bag. It was dried flat and pinned out a little but not really stretched (it did not have picots). Best I recall, the measurements were 26 x 6. I pre-measured and found that it shrunk 5% in the long width. I'm assuming that it shrunk the same in the narrow measurement. So this may be some type of guide for torchon, linen size 50. I'm also going to assume that other types of laces will have different proportions. - I'm planning on using a pattern from the Svenska Spetstar http://www.svenskaspetsar.se/sv/article/928/kors_langd or http://tinyurl.com/brta54r My email sends out an automatic message.

[lace] UK Lace magazine
I'm very happy that my copy of Lace #147 has arrived today. I was pleased to see that the tatted lace on the back cover was made by Europa Chang with whom I shared a hotel room in Caen at the OIDFA Congress. I was sorry that while at Caen that I didn't get to meet Ilske Diane Z and several other UK Arachneans. But I did finally meet one of my second cousins at the Mayor's reception. It was hard to read name tags I know that my name tag kept turning around so that it was always back to front. Maybe if flags were printed on the name-tag attendees wouldn't have to ask where people were from. I think that trying to read small print from a few feet away is hard for many of us who are short sighted. Now I have to write a report of my trip, soon before the memories fade. ;-) Ciao for now, Pene in Tartu, Estonia where we just had a hot Sunday (33C). - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] Church lace
Hi All, There used to be a Church Sew List a number of years ago and we were able to learn lots from that list. Most of the church lace I do is filet crochet and the fabric distributed by Church Stores in Sydney is called 'sharella' which is not linen, so does not put up some of those problems - washes very well. It is hard to get best quality lighter weight fabric for the smaller linens. I have a blocking board covered by woven chech fabric which makes blocking crochet easier. I have a length of a torchon edge, pattern from Marie-Clare Downham's book, is worked in DMC 30, no destination as yet. Any conversation about Ecclesiastical work is interesting to me.

Re: [lace] Church lace
Wh at about stretching it into shape on the kitcehn counter (cleaned first!)? Would that be long enough for you? Generally I find that if I pat the lace into shape while it is wet and leave it to dry on a clean, flat surface, it keeps it's shape well Sue  I do like the hot hot water idea, although where I'm going to find a place to do that with 73 inches of lace is a problem I'll have to solve.  Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Fw: RE: [lace] Church lace
Dear Mary et al, I agree that talking about something we do with others of a similar mind always increases our knowledge. I looked at the website for the Church Store in Sydney. Since I'm in America, I won't be buying there, but it is good to know what is available. I suspect I need to take a look, person to person, with touch as a part of it. Buying fabric online, especially something like linen or cotton, and even more especially less common fabrics, seems to me to be a big gamble. I do like the prickings for sale at the Swedish site. I've never bought from them online, so I don't know how difficult it would be, but it might be worthwhile for some. http://www.svenskaspetsar.se/sv/category/89/altarspets I'm sure the site could be translated. In my experience, most Swedes speak English, so contact shouldn't be difficult. Finding lace with a true ecclesiastical style is not easy, and here it's all done for you. A card pricking already pricked, and a black and white diagram are provided. Usual disclaimer.
