[lace] Looking for a pattern

2016-08-28 Thread Ann-Marie Andersson
Hello all,

I would like very much to buy the pattern for a lace I found somewhere on the
web some time ago. It may be from Switzerland but I’m not sure. I already
asked Atelier MB, but it wasn’t one of their patterns. I wanted to upload
the photo on Arachne Flickr but failed, so I need help with that. Then
hopefully someone can tell me where I can buy the pattern. Please contact me
privately.

Does anyone know if it is still possible to get bobbin lace patterns from old
Anna Burda magazines? In no 7 from 1990 patterns for some of the laces are not
included in the magazine but it was possible to get them from Burda in Germany
for an international reply coupon then. Or does any of you own those patterns
and would let me borrow them please? I have tried to find the website for

[lace] Lace websites

2013-09-04 Thread Ann-Marie Andersson
Hello All,



Some time ago there was a discussion here about how we all could contribute to
the list. I am so grateful for the lacemaking friends that I got through
Arachne and would like very much to do something in return.



The best I can think of is to share my list of favourite bobbin lace websites.
I already sent it to Laurie Waters and as she found it useful for her
Pinterest site maybe it would be interesting for others too. Many of the sites
are well known, but there are also some that may be new to you. The list is a
very simple Word document and includes 550 sites at the moment. You can use
the list in any way you like, all I want is for people to enjoy these sites as
much as I do. If you email me privately I will be happy to send it.



Best regards from a sunny Sweden

Ann-Marie

[lace] Copyright

2013-05-27 Thread Ann-Marie Andersson
Hello All,

Copyright is very important and I do not use copied patterns unless I own the
original, but I think in Denmark they are going a little too far. The Danish
lace association Knipling i Danmark no longer allows members to borrow from
their library. Members may now only read the books and magazines when they
visit the library. I was told that the Danish Culture Board does not allow the
association to lend magazines and books out unless there is a written
permission from the author or publisher. The lawyers they asked in this matter
say their lending is letting because the association requires a membership fee
for their members. The association says it is too much work to get a
permission from all authors and publishers and although at least some magazine
publishers allow lending, the association decided to not allow anyone to
borrow anything in order not to break the law. Postage is very expensive, so I
seldom borrow from the association myself, but sometimes it would be
interesting to see a book before I decide if I want to buy it or not.
Borrowing a book does not mean that I will make copies from it!

What is your opinion on this? Are there any other lace associations that
interprets the law like this?

[lace] Raffle for stamp collectors

2006-05-03 Thread Ann-Marie Andersson
I have already received many replies to my raffle. Some of you have asked how
they can pay for the postage. I'm sure that wouldn't be any problem since
there are many ways.

Payment through PayPal would be fine or cash in a letter, any currency. Of
course an exchange of something lace related would be nice too, for example
lacemaker postcards, bobbins etc. International reply coupons aren't sold in
Sweden any more but I think I can use foreign ones. However I can't accept
checks or money orders since the bank fees are too high.

Shipping cost for FDC + postcard would be 2.70 USD within Europe and 3.40 USD
to the rest of the world. (Since you can't send coins in a letter 3 USD would
be fine if you send cash.) Converted into Euro it would be 2.15 Euro within
Europe and 2.70 Euro to the rest of the world.

I really enjoy to share these duplicates of FDCs and postcards and I hope you
understand that it would be too expensive for me if I should pay the postage
for 12 letters myself.

Looking forward to receive many more replies!

[lace] Laminated prickings

2006-02-11 Thread Ann-Marie Andersson
Thank you for your replies to my message, both on and off the list. It was 
interesting to read your opinions.


So far I have only used laminated prickings for patterns where the pins are 
far apart and I feel I am more accurate when I place the pins while working 
than when I preprick. But I agree with those of you who recommended 
prepricking patterns where the pin holes are closer. When I used 
cardboard+blue plastic I had to preprick because the cardboard we use in 
Sweden is very thick.


My laminating machine uses heat (sorry I don't know the expression in 
English) and I use pouches of 100 micron. Pouches of 125 micron would be too 
thick I think. I paid only about 38 USD for the machine and it has worked 
very well.


As I wrote the shine doesn't disturb me, but if it does in future I will try 
using steel wool or a pot scourer.


I always copy from books using my scanner which is usually better quality 
than a photo copy. I am surprised to hear that a laminated sheet could come 
apart after cutting. My laminant sticks to the paper as well. The quality of 
my laminated prickings is good enough for reuse, just like cardboard 
prickings. I feel the laminated prickings are much more neat to work on and 
to keep than the cardboard ones. And the sticky feeling when putting a pin 
through the blue plastic is gone. I have been very doubtful about laminated 
prickings before, but now that I have tried it I love them!

prickings from books, but now I have bought a cheap laminating machine and
copy on light blue paper instead and laminate the copy. It's much better
than I thought and I'm very satisfied with the quality. I don't need to
preprick before I use it, which saves a lot of time. Is there any problem
with laminated prickings that I haven't yet discovered? They are a little
shiny but if I adjust the lamp that doesn't disturb me. Do you use it also
for fine lace like Bucks Point and Tønder?

It would be interesting to hear what your experiences are with laminated
prickings.

Regards from Sweden

[lace] 3D lace flower

2005-04-19 Thread Ann-Marie Andersson
I have got several replies to my inquiry about the pattern for a 3D lace 
flower, but it hasn't been found yet. Since so many of you also like it 
I will continue to look for it and I have put my photo at the Arachne 
website:

So far these books have been looked through by kind Arachne members:
Fantasy Flowers in Bobbin Lace - Pat and Brian
Flowers and Butterflies in 3D Lace - Dorothy K Cox
Plants and Flowers in Lace - Bridget M Cook
Bobbin Lace Fantasy Flowers - Rosemary Shepherd
Lace Flowers - Joyce R Wilmot
Floribana - Anny Noben-Slegers
Roses in Bobbin Lace - Eeva-Liisa Kortelahti
Design Techniques for Modern Lace - Veronica Sorenson
Creative Lace Patterns - Valerie Paton
I now know at which vendor in Tønder I photographed the flower and 
e-mailed her yesterday. She still isn't of much help, but says the 
pattern is from an English book (not American) and she made the flower 
at least 20 years ago. She says she changed the pattern a little because 
in the book every other petal was worked in half stitch alternately 
whole stitch. The flower was worked in a spiral and first she made the 
three inner petals, starched them, removed the pins and started to work 
the fourth petal on the pattern of the first, just a little bigger etc. 
The pattern was damaged by so much starch and she hasn't kept it and 
can't make a copy.

A couple of years ago I was given a black and white picture of a flower 
that looks exactly the same and ever since then I hoped to find the 
pattern somewhere and was very pleased when I saw the flower in Tønder - 
until I heard she didn't know either where it came from. It's a mystery!

[lace] 3D lace flower

2005-04-17 Thread Ann-Marie Andersson
Hello,
Last year at the lace festival in Tønder I saw a 3D lace flower that I 
would like very much to make but I haven't been able to find the 
pattern. Could any of you please help me to identify it? If you e-mail 
me privately I will send a photo. I was told it came from an English 
book, that was all the information I could get about it.

[lace] Lace stamps

2003-08-24 Thread Ann-Marie Andersson
I have a large collection of lace stamps too. I have made lists with
scanned pictures and this is what I have so far:

Stamps with lace and lace makers (I don't collect stamps with people
wearing lace): more than 200, only very few missing as far as I know.
Stamps with embroidery are not included.

FDCs, maximum cards, sheets etc: about 200, but I know there are more
that I haven't got yet.

Postmarks and envelopes with lace and lace makers: about 90, but I'm
sure there are more.
