Re: [lace] Storms in UK and Europe!
Clay We in my part of Wales got off very lightly considering what was expected. The storm's path remained on the English side of the Severn Estuary (aka Bristol Channel) and we were deluged (nothing new there!) rather than blown to bits. According to our local news the main problem was flooded roads and I imagine some trees may have come down simply because we had a prolonged period of high winds on Saturday and during daylight hours on Sunday and the ground was already sodden. Southern England suffered the most and no doubt people from that area will tell of their experiences. Even there the event was less serious than the hurricane of 1987. Patricia in Wales Dear spiders! I am so concerned about all of my friends in the UK and Europe who are experiencing the storms! These are so similar to the storms we had last year, and they were devastating! So, please keep us posted as you get past the worst of the storms, and as you learn of others who were not so fortunate, let our list know.

Re: [lace] Storms in UK and Europe!
We're in North Kent but we got away lightly this time with no structural damage and no power cuts, just a bit of debris around the garden. The worst for us was about 8-9am.

It looks much more like Leavers machine, and "bobbin fining" Leavers lace to be exact - Pat Earnshaw 'Lace Machines and Machine Laces" pages 142, 143. It is the way the 'cloth' stitch is formed which identifies this. I have just looked on the web to find something similar and came up with this gem from the V&A. http://www.dressandtextilespecialists.org.uk/Lace%20Booklet.pdf scroll down to page 26 and you'll see thread diagrams as to how the funny cloth stitch is made.

Re: [lace] DP - IOLI Arachne lunch 2014
I to do not know if I can make to CA. next year but I hoping to make to15. But I do like the idea of just meeting in an area for a get together. Does it have to be at lunch. Why not a cocktail hour in the evening. Donna Near Chicago.

[lace] Seeking pins 29 mm x .86
I am making a piece of lace and have been using a box of pins labeled "Unplated Brass Pins, 29 mm x .86, 100 grams." I would dearly love to get another box or maybe even several boxes of these as I am now scavenging them from the beginning of the piece which I think will have a deleterious effect. Does anyone know of a US supplier? Devon Thein - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
