Re: [lace] Exchange update/Lace magazine
Thanks for the mention, Janice. Yes, I was awarded a Medal of Excellence for the Christening ensemble (dress, blanket and bonnet) which I had made. I am still waiting for it to be sent to me, along with the CD/DVD of the exhibits. When I enquired yesterday I was told by Michelle that the Guild has still not overcome the technical issues (which I assume is with the CD not the Medal production) and so I don't think Jane Partridge can be right about the stack of CDs being sent out. I was sad not to be able to be in England in the short time that the exhibit was up and looked forward to seeing the CD, but I have rather lost interest in the competition now that it has been shut for two months and the lace has been safely returned to me. I would also have liked to see some photos showing the exhibit as a whole, as well as all the entries. I've also not yet received Lace so haven't yet even seen the winners, and have no clue how many entries there were etc Back on August 4th, the Lace Guild invited winners to post their own photo on FaceBook, which I did, but it doesn't seem that anyone else did, so anyone wanting to see my entry can look at that date on https://www.facebook.com/thelaceguild I think the CD/DVD of entries replaced the booklet that used to be sold, but it seems a shame, now that it is so easy to put photos up on the internet, not to show the lace to a wider than those who went to the exhibit : ( Sue suebabbs...@gmail.com http://babbsandbaobabs.blogspot.com/ - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Exchange update/Lace magazine
I suspect that the reason why the photos are not put on the website is because the Guild usually produces a cd/dvd of them for sale, and free access to them via the website would defeat the object. Contact The Hollies (holl...@laceguild.org) if you would like to buy one, I'm fairly certain I saw Michelle with a stack she was sending out when I was there a week or so ago.

Sue, maybe you can put a photo of your winning piece on the Arachne Flickr site. That goes for any other Arachne members that may have had an entry. I don't think that the Lace Guild puts other photos on their website. It would be nice if we could see them as not everyone has the opportunity of going to the exhibition.
