Oh, the ideas are flowing!  I have been working on tatting until my back 
cooperates, but I see possibilities with some of the items there for 
tatting, too.

Re: [lace] Christmas Exchange cards

2013-11-29 Thread Jack and Mariann
I made 3 bobbin lace bookmarks and gave one to everyone for Thanksgiving. 
One was just whole stitch, one was diamonds and one was trails.  I am a 
beginner, but I think everyone was impressed.  I tatted a cross for my 
husband.  I was surprised it turned out as well as it did.  Right now, I am 
working on another tatted piece while I think about what I want to put on 
the pillow for Christmas presents.  I don't have much time left, so I am 
going to be very busy!





  I know I am rambling here...so how about you ramble now...go
ahead...I would love to hear from you all.

Re: [lace] Books

2013-10-30 Thread Jack and Mariann
I find that when looking for books, the best place for me to start at is 
Google search and then shopping.  Then I go from there.  Sometimes I will 
put in an alert on either Google or eBay for an item.  I have found some 
good deals that way.  Shopping around seems to work for me.  Some gently 
used books are just fine.  New books may be more of a problem.

Re: [lace] Old Beds

2013-10-20 Thread Jack and Mariann

I heard today that the IOLI Bulletin was mailed a couple of weeks late.

As far as teaching..I went to a demonstration and the woman doing bobbin 
lace told me you can't learn on your own.  I have been slowly working 
through some of the books and I think I am doing pretty good.  I run into 
some problems here and there and just put that piece aside in hopes one of 
the other books will have a better explanation of the technique.  So far, so 
good.

Hi,

Does anyone have a pattern for a cross bookmark in Torchon Lace that they 
would be willing to share?
