Re: [lace] Roses in Bobbin Lace
An advantage of doing business with Barbara Fay in Germany is that she and her husband are fluent in English. Do not worry about being misunderstood. If you request, she will send you a catalog. It is in several languages, including English. She supports lace events in several countries, including being a vendor at OIDFA Congresses.

RE: [lace] Roses in Bobbin Lace
WOW Celia, Beautiful work- it makes me very interested in the book- it's a delicate and delightfully worked hexagonal mat pattern. The website is excellent too (thumbs up to your DH). All your work is gorgeous, many thanks for sharing. Can't wait for you to add more! Rhiannon (Sunny Co Meath;Ireland, where the bicycle will get an airing today!) On Behalf Of Celia Mulhearn I have not long finished the hexagonal table centre, which is printed on the front cover of the book and really enjoyed making it There is a picture of the table centre on our new 'family' website at www.acsandj.co.uk It is under the 'photograph's' heading and then 'Celia's Lace'. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Roses in Bobbin Lace
I bought this book on Amazon UK for £20 plus £2.75 pp. There is still one on there at the same price if anyone else is interested. Mine hasnt arrived yet and I cant wait for it to come. I decided that I needed to make something a little different as my last two projects have been wall hangings and I have nothing else lined up! Anne Nicholas Middx. UK Susan wrote:

Re: [lace] Roses in Bobbin Lace
I have not long finished the hexagonal table centre, which is printed on the front cover of the book and really enjoyed making it, It has a slightly thicker thread to pick out some of the rose petals, and I have got some pale pink to make another of the patterns (the oval one) using the same 'rose' design but this time picking out the rose in pale pink, I think the finish should be good. In the book there are also patterns for making 3D roses... these are made in a strip and then rolled to form the rose flower, again very pretty There is a picture of the table centre on our new 'family' website at www.acsandj.co.uk It is under the 'photograph's' heading and then 'Celia's Lace'. I do have some other pieces to photograph and get DH to add (what would we do without them) :) but just haven't had time yet. There is also a photograph of 'The Lacemaker' but it's hiding in the embroidery section, I made this for a project that Bromley Lacemakers are doing at present to commemmorate their 25th anniversary later this year, we are making a wall hanging composed of pieces of lace made by each member of the group and it will hang in the community centre where we hold our meetings. (I've made it at 60% of the full size and used Finca 30 thread instead of Linen.) Hope you like them if/when you take a look Best Wishes Celia.

RE: [lace] Roses in Bobbin Lace
I also have another of her books "Nyplattya Pitsia" which is good but like "Roses" has only pictures and prickings and how many pairs and thread used but no instructions other than the basic technique ones. I have made a few of the patterns and they are very pretty and are all made in linen which I am not very fond of using as I do not like the "slubby" bits on the threads.

Re: [lace] Roses in Bobbin Lace
"Ruusuja Nyplaten" (Roses in Bobbin Lace) by Eeva-Liisa Kortelahti has been a favorite book of mine. Eeva-Liisa is a designer from Finland. She has a style of her own. Skills needed are basic Torchon and an open mind. In some of her patterns, the thread pathways sometimes do not follow traditional Torchon rules. She bends the rules as well as the threads to get the desired result. A past discussion of her lace style resulted in the Arachne group pronouncing it "Kortelahti" rather than forcing it into any of the traditional styles. Anyway. "Roses" has a lot of patterns with roses and leaves as the design element. There are edgings for square, round, hexagonal and oval doiles, several oval mats, collars, necklaces and earrings, bracelets, pocket trimmings, and what she calls 'Knick-knack'. Those are 3-D figures of birds, angels and (of course) roses. The back of the book has a bride and groom, and a series of square pictures (cars, flowers, wheat, religious). The book was published in 1993 and 1994. If you don't have a copy, watch for one used at a reasonable price. The original sold for $40. The few I saw right now on line wanted 50-60-70-up. That's too much. If you have a chance to get one, do so. The patterns are interesting and workable by advanced beginners. The book has only the picture and the pricking. You have to have enough basic knowledge to follow the lines on your own. Alice in Oregon -- where I'm supposed to be packing for a sewing retreat weekend.
