[lace] IOLI Convention & Magazine

[Liz Ligeti.]

We are gearing up for our trip first to Texas and then on to Seattle to visit
family!
We get to San Antonio a couple of days early, to give us time to get over
Jet-lag, so we will have a look around, Janice, to see if there is room for an
Arachne lunch!   I have already purchased a small gift to bring!

And I have 6 small (4½ inch) fans for the display.  They are in 6 different
laces!  I finished the tatted one recently.   I am doing the afternoon Tatting
class, so there is not a lot of equipment to bring – I just had to finish a
couple of UFOs so I had empty shuttles ready for class!!  At least it got me
finishing things, rather than starting another UFO  (I am good at that!!  😊
)

We are looking forward to the trip, - and thawing out a bit!  It is mid winter
over here, and very cold, (after a long very hot summer), and Texas should be
nice and warm!!  So we are searching out our summer clothes to bring!

I, too, prefer the paper version of magazines. I get various Newsletters on
the computer, but I hope the Magazines stay with a paper version, which can be
pickled up at any time, where as this computer is shared, so I can’t always
access it, if DH is on it.  I have the past magazines in holders here on the
shelf, and I can go back to them whenever I want to – easily and without any
fuss!!

Regards from Liz. In cold Melbourne, Oz.

VERY nice idea, Karen.

Do we have people with skill or advice in digitizing in the room?

As a back-of-the-book INDEXER in real life (retired), I imagine I could put
you in contact with folks who do Indexing regularly, and thus know the
‘customs’ and standard guidelines. If making this happen interests anyone
at IOLI, please get back to me.

[lace] Bobbins, Pillows and Books

[Lois Baker]

Much as I enjoy reading about and looking at handmade lace, the time has 
come for me to admit that I have more fiber tools, toys and books than I 
can ever use in three lifetimes.


Can anyone suggest a good place to list some of these items for sale?  
Lace pillows, bobbins, threads ... and books.  (Lots of books!)


Thanks very much!

Lois

In reference to digitizing our own lace documents, it can be much easier than 
Lin’s process. There are many smart phone apps that create.pdf’s just by aiming 
your phone and clicking. I like Scannable and have the free version for iPhone. 
It straightens the document nicely. Can do separate pages or multiple page 
documents.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[J Reardon]

I’ve been reading the sample digital IOLI bulletin on my tablet (iPad) and am 
very glad they are offering that option. Tablets work much better for this than 
computers. The tablets, which originated as readers, automatically size the 
page so it fills the screen. You can enlarge the page to zoom in on details. 

I’ve got a number of digital Piecework magazines on my iPad. They have a couple 
features the Bulletin would benefit from. I can move from page to page by 
swiping left and the table of contents has links to take you directly to each 
article. With the Bulletin, it didn’t hold my place when I closed it and I had 
to page through to find where I left off. 

Nobody loses. The print edition is still available for those who prefer it. 
This new feature is a bonus for those of us who prefer it.

In addition to Lin's photos, there are some really nice Duchesse and
Carrickmacross. The latter has some really good closeups which allow the
viewer to see the layers of work.

[lace] 2018 Arachne Bookmark Exchange

[Lin Hudren]

Hello Everyone,

pages.  *https://www.flickr.com/photos/lacemaker/
?*  i hope you enjoy browsing all
the lovely work displayed.

i have created a PDF document which if you will contact me off line (
linhud...@gmail.com), i will be glad to share with you.  you will be able
to print out a copy for yourself.

thanks to all those who participated and had the fun of sharing their
masterpieces with others.  happy lacing.

Re: [lace] lace: IOLI Bulletin

[Lin Hudren]

just a thought.  i have photographed pages (books and magazines) and then
copied them into a Word document.  because one can print from a PDF file, i
have created them on a free PDF converter program on the internet.  now i
have digitized the item and can view it on my tablet/phone/computer at any
time.  i can zoom for viewing and print out from the tablet or cell.  you
might consider doing this.  it is tedious, but i have managed to eliminate
a lot of bulk and weight.  enjoy.

this also works for pages that i need for a project/class/trip when i
travel because i can just take it on the tablet or cell and have access
without having to remember to "pack" that info.  this is helpful for
directions (if you don't use a GPS application) too.


Hugs, Lin and the Mali

[lace] lace: IOLI Bulletin

[Karen Thompson]

I, for one, was thrilled to see the IOLI Bulletin being offered in digital
version.  Like most others I much prefer having a printed version, BUT, we
are in the process of downsizing to much smaller space, so I simply do not
have enough storage space for all the wonderful Bulletins.  I hope at some
point in the future the old Bulletins will be digitized, and there will be
a nice digital index of articles and patterns, so they can be searched.
However, since I am not able to do it, it is just wishful thinking.

Hopefully, we can get together at the IOLI Convention.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin - Staying organized

[Jeri Ames]

Dear Lacemakers,
 
Is there a library collection anywhere in the world housing books and
publications focused on both embroidery and lace that is more extensive than
the one here?   How does that owner feel about this subject ?
 
In the case of this library in Maine USA, it is preferable to hold a magazine
in the hand.  The instructions received from the IOLI Bulletin Editor add
more complexity, as you will read below.    
 
My lace and embroidery library, now 4,075 books, is probably the most
extensive private collection in the world for research on these subjects,
especially valuable because the librarian here has read everything in English
and is familiar with what else has been saved that is written in other
languages.  Though periodical publications have not been inventoried, a
system recently began of storing bulletins of guilds / publishers (like
PieceWork) in plastic bins  - by organization.  There are also bins holding
obsolete publications.  Contents are filed by date, with the most current at
the top.  They have their own designated room. 
 
No one can countermand the owner, who belongs to about 12 guilds just to
receive the bulletins (dues are a large expense).  
 
Imagine having different access instructions for each and every item here ! 
Imagine changes every time editors / officers change and institute their
preferences, or constantly having to adapt to new technologies. 
 
When a book or magazine bibliography lists references used, my filing system
is easy to use to find originals. Even if I had a volunteer (Ha Ha), there are
other tasks of more value to do.  An inventory, like the existing one of
books, is of considerable value in helping to find the exact book needed.  I
fail to see the benefit of doing this with periodical publications, given the
labor necessary to implement and constantly update.  A storage system is the
answer here.

Fwd: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Lbuyred]

Depending upon the price I will probably pay for both the physical and digital 
copies for a year.  Then I will decide which I prefer.  I have a number of 
hobby books that I have gotten electronically and I like them a lot.  I 
especially like being able to access them on my tablet and the ability to zoom 
in to a really close view.  Several actually have instructional videos imbedded 
in the book which I love.

I did have a digital subscription to a stamp magazine that did not work out as 
well.  When I would try to zoom in to an area that was near the edge of the 
page the system would turn the page.  I changed that to a physical subscription.

Re: [lace] IOLI Convention

[Ruth Lyon]

I  am also gathering bobbins. threads, etc. and preparing prickings classes
at the IOLI convention. I've cleared  a pillow to take with me.  The more
pillows I buy, the more unfinished projects I have!

My classes are Flanders morning and afternoon with Kathy Kauffman, and
Buttons and Braids with Gil Dye on Weds. I was so glad to get my first
choice classes!

I'm looking for a good lamp to use in class.  The base can't be large but
it should be stable.  A clip-on lamp would work on my lace table.  Any
suggestions?

I really hope that we will have an Arachne lunch or other gathering during
the convention.  Last year's lunch was so nice--thanks, Arlene!  i hope to
bring raffle gifts, too.

Finally, I think I will opt for the printed IOLI magazine rather than the
online version.  I would probably want to print much of it and put it in
binders, so paying a little more for the printed mag. makes sense to me.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Catherine Barley]

Hi Janice

I too will be opting for the paper version as I prefer being able to pick it up 
and read at my leisure, rather than go to my laptop to access it.  I did try 
the digital version with another lace group but like yourself, couldn't be 
bothered with having to go through the process of accessing it through the 
computer each time I wanted to read it.  I'm in the UK so haven't actually 
received my copy yet.  Can't help you with the Google account I'm afraid, as 
I'm far too long in the tooth to comprehend and keep up with all this modern 
technology, most of which I have no use for anyway!

As the list seems to be quiet, my last digest was #68 on July 1, and I know I 
sent a lengthy email about convention hoping it might kick out a new digest, I 
decided to write about the IOLI increasing the dues to cover mailing and 
printing costs of the magazine and the new digital version at lower cost.

Can anyone answer my question on a Google Account, and what do others think of 
this new version?
