I love his humour and his ability to take on huge projects and "FINISH" them, to everyone's amazement and delight. Also great recipes are always popped in now and then... ;o)) I also would include any member of the list who has been "Published" with "How To" books and or pattern books. They are a gift to us and it is so wonderful to be able to actually "talk" to them about their work etc. They are a tremendous resource to us.

[lace] Who's Who in Lace
Hello All! May I nominate Pat Read & Lucy Kincaid, followed shortly thereafter by Sandi Woods & Louise Colgan for bringing Milanese lace up to date, then kicking it up a notch for all to enjoy. After seeing some vintage examples of Milanese at LASB, I was not at all impressed. Sort of frumpy! But hey, look at Milanese now--WOW! Thanks gals.

[lace] Who's Who in Lace
One of the things that always tickles me is that you go to a lace event, and there's the author of the books you have used. And then there are the teachers, some of whom do not write books, but who have taught and influenced hundreds of people. And if you write or email them, they respond. The founders and promoters of the lace meetings that mean so much to so many of us. The leaders of organizations who work tirelessly to promote the art, or craft, and provide access for the rest of us. And those who open up their homes, month after month, year after year, so a group has a place to meet. And those who demonstrate, to promote the making of lace among the heathen. It takes a lot of time and energy. And those of us who merely buy supplies and books, and attend the meetings, keeping the suppliers in business. There are, of course, those who stand out, who are willing and able to do so, usually with little or no remuneration. They play a very big part, and deserve recognition and our grateful thanks. But let us not forget the others, most of whom do what they can with what they have to promote lace. Most of us stand on the shoulders of others. Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where the air conditioning is turned on at least until the weekend. Hazy, hot and humid. I'm going to the beach. Or, I'm going down the shore, as we locals call it. With the travel lace pillow, for under the umbrella. DH and Dog are staying home in the air conditioning. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

I think everyone on Arachne is important and should be included in "Who's Who". -- Hugs, Lin and the Mali "If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles." - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Kudos also to Jean and David Leader of the Lace Guild's website, and Mark Myers, site designer and first and so far only, IOLI webmaster.

Without her, international communication among lacemakers would have been considerably less, especially when the internet and world wide web were new.

Good idea, Clay. I am creating a new topic as I am a little bit publicity-shy :p Your name comes to mind! and I hope others will respond :) On Sun, Jul 14, 2013 at 4:59 PM, Clay Blackwell wrote: > It seems to me that this contribution to Arachne has just opened up a > "Who's Who" in the modern lace world!
