[lace] Poppies
While looking thru a shoebox full of old stamps today, I ran across an interesting item. There was a packet containing several single, cancelled US stamps featuring Moina Michael (3 cents!) from 1948. A quick Google search revealed that, according to Wikipedia, MM was responsible for remembrance poppies. If you made a lace poppy for the Australian project or admired the lace exhibit of California poppies, you might enjoy reading about this extraordinary woman from Georgia.

Re: [lace] Poppies.
If you're on pinterest (which I'm not) there seem to be some tatted poppy patterns pictured there: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/271341946275392590/ and I tracked down a few patterns: https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2014/09/tatting-pattern-tiny-heart-poppy-part-2.html https://tennbrown.blogspot.com/2014/11/another-poppy.html http://www.ringoftatters.org.uk/patterns/Rembrance%20Day%20Poppy%20by%20Jennifer%20Williams.pdf Sue suebabbs...@gmail.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Poppies.
Does anyone have a Poppy Pattern for Tatting? I have some red thread and would be happy to tat some poppies for this wonderful project. Tatting is almost all I can do these days â at the moment. I try a bit of Early Lace, as I can plait, and mostly pins go in where necessary, and donât have to be so precise as with other Lacemaking. This distorted vision is so frustrating, but Tatting is keeping me sane â so far!!! Regards from Liz.

Re: [lace] Lace poppies
Sue, I think this might be a pricking I need, as I don't have one yet. Tell how Janice. thanks David in Ballarat, AUS The other day I pinned my lace poppy to my coat in advance of remembrance sunday and has already been admired by a couple of ladies working in our local shops. Just thought I would say thank you again to Janice Blair for her gift of the pattern so we could make them and I continue to wear it every year as well as putting money in tins obviously. I wonder how many others still wear their lace poppy. Sue T - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Subject: Re: [lace] Lace poppies
Hi David, Sue is going to send you a copy, and she may have already done so. I get the digest so am always late with items. I had lost my file and she kindly sent me a copy. It was designed for the IOLI convention way back in 2008, so probably 2007. I may have it filed in my old convention folders rather than my lace designs. Sue is more organized than me. :-) Janice Sue, I think this might be a pricking I need, as I don't have one yet.

[lace] Poppies!
Hello! Thank you everyone, for the interest shown in my Poppy photos - I have been somewhat amazed to receive such a positive feedback. However, I was obviously not the only one to be overwhelmed, my computer crashed half-way through when I was trying to answer all your kind messages. So, if you have written to me and not received a reply, please accept my apologies and write again. I will talk sternly to/negotiate with my computer and try to get back to you!

[lace] poppies, leaves PLG newsletter
Hello All! May I add my thanks congratulations to David for the stunning photos of his poppy lace! WOW!! That said--as charming as the poppies are, I am in love with the leaves. Graceful almost acanthus-like curves. Very classic begging to be combined with other motifs if one would choose. We must change your title to David of Ballarat or David de Ballarat! The PLG (Pittsburgh Lace Group) newsletter arrived today there were all sorts of tidbits. Thank you Robin (obtaining permission) Noelene (giving permission) for sharing the Torchon Tug poem. I'm sure everyone is nodding chuckling. This is the 30th anniversary year of PLG I had no clue that Pamela Nottingham once taught a workshop there, back in the early days of the group. Gretchen shared a photo of a communion veil that she made in 1994 that has been worn by any number of small children in her extended family. Lace Camp will be devoted to all things spidery. And as we bid farewell to Dorothy wh! o is recovering from her stroke, a brief resume of her passions skills: lacemaking, baking, canning, dancing, trumpet piano lessons, buttonbox serenades providing bed breakfast accommodations for visiting lace teachers students. Where would we be without our lacemaking friends on Arachne beyond?

[lace] Poppies
If I have done it correctly, you can see 11 of the poppy pictures I took at the IOLI convention on my photobucket album. I did not make a note of who made which lace and I know that some lacemakers made more than one. http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg146/jblace/Poppies/?track=share_email_album_view_click Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA www.jblace.com http://www.lacemakersofillinois.org - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Poppies Janice
Thank you so much Janice. I loved seeing all of the Poppies. It just boggles my mind to see so many creative and talented people that make lace. These Poppies are beautiful. I have saved them to my favorites so I can look at them again sometime.

[lace] poppies
Hello Again! Thank you Janice for posting the poppy photos. Lovely sinuous stems. Just wish there were more colors! I first saw the sky blue ones at Les Jardins de Metis in Canada they are showstoppers!! For those interested, since poppy season is over here, eye candy inspiration are available in BBC Gardens Illustrated #162, the article on Meconopsis. Just the thought of finding threads in those shades gives me shivers!
