This message from Alex was the first I knew that Jeri had written to the 
list.  I had to go to the Archives to read what Jeri had written - similarly 
for her message re Festive Costume Auction on Dec. 12, 2016


For a while, unblocking your messages worked and I could get your messages 
on Arachne, Jeri, but it seems that aol messages are once again blocked from 
coming through my provider (Comcast).  I wonder if it is worth your while 
getting a free gmail address and subscribing with that address.

[lace] VCB book

2016-12-02 Thread Alex Stillwell
Hi Arachnids

My students gave me a hardback copy of Virginia Churchill-Bath,s book in 1976
and it has certainly stood the test of time. The ,modern, pieces she included
were the best at the time and are are still inspirational.

Blow the dust

Oops so sorry, I forgot to trim my post, but as there are so few postings these 
days I guess it's not too big a problem.

Thanks Jeri

I too enjoyed drooling over some of the gorgeous fashion garments but I'm 
afraid my wallet just isn't fat enough to bid on any of them.  Difficult to 
ascertain what type of lace is around the apron , hoped it might be needlelace 
but looks to be more like a bobbin lace from what I can see?

Many thanks for your continued and highly informative postings.  Arachne seems 
to have gone to sleep of late -  where is everyone?

Thanks Jeri
I so enjoyed looking through the virtual catalogue. What a varied
collection.
Well worth the look! Some great detail about the apron in the opening
message.

Anyone interested in fashion and costumes, and how lace was sometimes used?
How about Royal garments?
