[lace] Christmas ornament exchange

[Janice Blair]

Last week I received my exchange in the mail from England. I just got the
digest from Arachne and saw that Celia Murhearn had sent out a similar
ornament to Sally Jenkins. We are both lucky recipients.Mine is on our
Christmas tree. I forgot to mention to Celia that she can detach the Llama and
hang it on her tree if she prefers. It is just stitched down with a bit of
thread. Thanks Lin for arranging the exchange again. Love getting surprise
mail from overseas.Janice

[lace] (Lace) Christmas ornament exchange 2015

[celia mulhearn]

Hello all, 
Apologies but this message is for Sherry Townsend, Thank you sooo much for my 
milanese tree, it is beautiful, those leaves in the metallic thread are 
fabulous and I look forward to hanging it where everyone can see it. Sadly my 
emails to you keep bouncing which is why I am sending this via the lacelist.

Thanks again
Celia Mulhearn, Somerset UK, where the sun is shining beautifully 

[lace] christmas ornament

[Janice Blair]

Just to clarify, the pattern is at www.jblace.com on the Pattern page.  It
does appear at www.lacemakersofillinois.org but not the whole directions.

I am off to Argentina and Chile tomorrow so I hope everyone will understand I
am going to be email impaired for a week.  Pity Chelle is in Australia instead
of Santiago this week.

[lace] Christmas Ornament

[Carol Melton]

Hello Everyone,
I received my lovely Christmas card and ornament from Sue Clothier in 
England.  The hand made card depicted the three Wise Men and a whole 
sky full of stars. One of the stars is a beautiful needlelace star made 
from glittery thread.  It is quite gorgeous hanging on our tree.  Thank 
you Sue, I will treasure my ornament always.   It is the only piece of 
needle lace that I have.  Did you scan it or take a digital photo and 
send to Barbara?  If not I will do it for you.  I don't want anyone to 
miss seeing it.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A question recently came to me about Christmas ornaments and their 
patterns.  So.I put the question to all of you.


What is the source of your favorite Christmas ornaments?

For Christmas patterns, I like Brigitte Bellon's Kloppeln zur 
Weihnachtszeit (Bobbin Lace Christmas Patterns).  There are a couple 
ornaments in Bobbin Lace with Paper Strings by Kortelahti, but this 
source is not helpful if you don't have miniature paper strings available.


Please write about your favorite patterns.

Jana Novak has a new book Christmas Lace 5 which I bought at a lace day 
yesterday, it has patterns for tree ornaments including lots of 
snowflakes/stars, angels, birds and a few bell shapes. Many of them are 3D 
and all are rather attractive without being twee. As normal, text in Danish, 
German and English.

Re: [lace] Christmas Ornament

[Barbara Joyce]

I'm making my ornament for the Christmas Card Exchange from Gekloppelter
Weihnachtsschmuch. This book, also by Brigitte Bellon, has a lovely
selection of bells, hearts, candles, angels and stars. I borrowed the book
from a friend, and although I have finished my design, I do not intend to
buy a copy of the book for myself. Why? Two reasons: First, it's in German
(no English translation, which is also true of the book Alice mentioned). I
don't read German, and although the prickings and very clear photographs
make it possible to complete the lace, I always feel that paragraph says
*something,* and it would help me to know what that is! Second, there are no
working diagrams. You have to constantly study the photo to see what stitch
is used where, how many twists, etc. I consider myself a reasonably
accomplished lacemaker, but I honestly don't think I could manage some of
the more complex designs, due to the lack of working diagrams.

You can see the cover of this book on Holly Van Sciver's web site
http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/1Books.html.

I promoted this book to the little lace group I belong to, they bought
it (both my promotion and the book LOL) and it is in constant
circulation. There are some in the group who understand German, but
most manage without. If you have some on-line time to waste on a rainy
day, you can type in a few lines at Babelfish and ask for the
German/English translation. Although the very word you'd like to know
probably isn't convertible by the compter program, you can get the
sense of meaning.

Mostly the brief instructions re-iterate something in her diagrams.

My favourite for Christmas are from Kniplebrevet and the ones I design
myself. The latter is usually just one design per year that I rework
many times over  - then it could get released into the lace stream,
through the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette or at my webpages.

There are two little patterns at my old bobbin-page url:

I don't know whether this website would be better than Babelfish for 
lace things, but for most other uses it certainly is.

Re: [lace] Christmas Ornament

[robinlace]

I'm fond of Christine Springett's ornament patterns.  I like ornaments 
that stand out and hold up straight, rather than just lace on a 
hanger, so I like to make the kind that sit in bangle bracelets.  I 
also like a series she did of French fans around square or round 
metal things--don't know what they were originally for, but they're 
like giant-size charms, stamped out of gold-color metal.

She has a book of just bangle ornaments, and there are patterns in her 
books, Lace for Children of All Ages and the Christmas book.  And she 
made a series of kits that are nice.  After the breakup of their 
business, I'm not sure who's handling the kits any more.  The 
Fountains?  Roseground?  someone else?

I like thesee, too,  Robin.  Right now I am making one of her trimmed
'bracelets'  then I make and adaptation of a little 3-d tatted angel that is
in Rebecca Jones' book and hang it in the middle,  halo and all.  Just a bit
different and quite cute.

[lace] Christmas ornament exchange

[alice howell]

Greetings Arachnians,

I've been selecting three patterns to use as Christmas ornament gifts this
year, and realized no one has said anything about exchanging ornaments.

Does anyone want to do it?  We have one month before they would have to be
in the mail.  I would suggest thinking about flat ornaments that can be
tucked in a card and mailed for basic postage.  That keeps the mailing cost
within reason, yet gives a bit of fun.

Remember, if you sign up, you do need to send one.  A recent message on this
list told about the experience of not receiving one.   It can be very dis-
appointing.

If interested, send me an email:
Name
Address
Email
How many (up to 3)
Willing to mail overseas?

You will be paired with a partner for the each exchange.  It is up to each
pair to communicate.  It is not a mystery exchange.

It might be fun, also, to take a picture of the ornaments before mailing 
and send to Lori.  She might be willing to put them on her webpage for us 
all to see like she did the bookmarks a couple years ago.  Lori?

Happy lacing,

Alice in Oregon - Cold, freezing weather has come.  Summer is gone.
