[lace] Train bobbins

[Elizabeth Ligeti]

Than k you all. I have found the right place now!!  I have never looked
“elsewhere” but just at what opens  when I click on the main site – the
albums in alphabetical order!!
I must be more adventurous and try these other links!!!  I have this one
bookmarked now, anyway.

These decorated bobbins, - this one especially, are intriguing, and one
wonders about the story behind them, and the person using the bobbins.
Regards from Liz. L.

Fwd: [lace] lace-digest V2019 #57

[Adele Shaak]

I never find anything in the folders; if you look up at the top menu you’ll see 
something called “Photostream” and that’s where I found the train bobbin. 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the Photostream shows all the uploaded 
photos in the order they were uploaded, with the most recent first.

[lace] 2020 Arachne 25th Anniversary Interchange

[Lin Hudren]

*On 4-12-2020, Arachne celebrates 25 years of being.  A discussion was had
about doing a bobbin but not sure as I have not heard anything for a bit.
Because of the holidays, I thought I would offer sign ups early or it will
be a tight schedule to participate afterwards.  Anyway, this will be an
"interchange" versus the usual "exchange".  So, you sign up, I will draw
from a hat to pair up with one other person.  Member A will send to member
B but member B will send to member C and someone else will send to member
A.  Member S may send to member A.  Only one member to share with at this
time.  Since we have non-lacing members, I am going to offer that you can
send some lace related item, i.e., spool of thread, silver lacer spoon, a
tool, scissors/clippers, bobbin(s), tatting shuttle(s), pin cushion(s), box
of pins, needle case, packet of tapestry needles, tatting needles,
thimbles, a crochet hook, Lazy Susan, pricker, picker, etc.  You get the
idea.  The item is not limited only to some handmade lace but handmade lace
is most welcome as well.  Mailing will be by April 1st, 2020.  This should
give us plenty of time to sign up and then forget about it until after the
holidays when you will still have almost 3 months to make or purchase
something to send out.  I will send out a reminder about the middle of
January.  Not sure anything has to be wrapped but can be should the sender
wish to do so.  I don't want to limit but I also don't want to demand.
Giving some ideas always **gets the juices flowing.  Any thoughts would be
appreciated.  This will be a once-in-a-lifetime event for most of us to
participate, be involved in Arachne in a unique way, share and care.  *



*If you wish to share a photo of your gift to your recipient, I will gather
chronologically those photos and create a PDF document for participants and
post those photos to Flickr (thanks Sue Babbs).  This is optional and I
will not be following up to see if you sent me a photo.  Please tell me who
you sent the item in the photograph to so I don't have to dig for that
info.  Thanks.  If you received something precious to you and you wish to
be sure it was acknowledged, I will include it and try not to have
duplicates.  If you cannot provide a photo but wish to have it displayed,
just ask your partner to send it in.  No guarantees.*



*I am trying to make this as open and an opportunity for as many members
who wish to honor this event as possible.  If I have neglected to address
something you believe to be worthy to improve this interchange, please just
email me privately at **linhud...@gmail.com **.  The
schedule will go as follows:*



*November 7Sign Ups begin until November 24*

*November 29  Interchange partner assignments made and emailed out*

*April 1, 2020   All shared pieces should be in the mail, please*



*If you have any questions, please contact me directly at
**linhud...@gmail.com
**.  I do hope you will take this opportunity to honor
the Arachne Group and all the wonderful learning we have shared over these
25 years no matter if only in the last few month(s).  The founders are
inspirational and have gifted so much to all of us.  Everyone has their
favorite lace technique and are very knowledgeable and have shared tricks
and tips over the years.  Some of us explore many lace techniques but have
benefited and even been inspired to test out new techniques for the
narratives about a lace.  *



*The lace digest and the opportunities to have lace mails sent daily or
once gathered and the lace chat has been inspirational and is taken for
granted.  Thank you, Avital, for keeping us on track and making sure we are
all informed.  Your attentiveness is awesome and mostly taken for granted
but most appreciated even when you remind us of our errors.  We are a group
blessed for 25 years of caring and sharing.  You have been there for how
many years I do not know and perhaps you will share that will us one day.
You have been our silent tech support.  It is a time for us to acknowledge
and show appreciation for your efforts.  Will you participate and let us
gift you some token, please?*



*We also need to thank Sue Babbs for stepping up and keeping Flickr
active.  Jeri Ames has been a font of knowledge in her research and sharing
- thank you.*



*We owe much to those who started out with Arachne in the early years and
continue to support it today.  The archives are precious and we have
utilization of them at will.  Jeri is most attentive to making sure this
has a workable search engine.  I do not know of another source for this
awesome craft that is more knowledgeable and gifted to share.  We have to
thank those who have gifted us newer to the craft for their knowledge and
sharing.  This group is not about photographs but is about knowledge and
gifting that to new lacers so the craft continues into the future.  We may
not be mainstream but we are solid.*
