Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
Now, regarding summers in Chicago... Aren't your stores overly Air-Conditioned, the way ours are? I try not to spend longer in stores than necessary! And yes they often are over-air-conditioned, but you still have to melt getting from the car into the store. I find I very rarely need a jacket from June to October Sue - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
Sue, your jacket is the most stunning thing I've seen in a very long time!! Your perfect balance of elements in the design is just incredible!! I'm impressed with your lace, with your construction of the jacket, with your sense of color, and your expert use of materials!! WOW!!! So where will you be seen in this stunning creation?

Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
Thank you for the compliments. There are things I'd do differently if I ever re-did it, but it's good to learn from a piece too! Where will I wear it? I'm shameless! If I kept it for best, I'd hardly ever wear it, so I will wear it to the shops, church, NeedleArts Guild meetings, going for a walk wherever. I now have three jackets with lace on and I enjoy wearing them out and about. They're all lined with fleece so are nice and cosy for Chicago cooler weather. Totally unsuitable for summer. I thought about not lining it and wearing it in the summer, but my preferred summer clothing here is sleeveless!

Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
Congratuations Sue. A terrific job. I love the colors and the lace. Is it an original design lace and is it s'Gravesmore sp? I also love your blue moon scarf and the lizard. Your web pages are great.

Fw: [lace] long lace report (short)
Hi Bev, I am also making a garter, but am making 2 narrow strips of lace, I am also about 3/4 way through the lacework. It is steady progress when the cat doesn't insist on taking over my lap for the evenings. I have managed to take a little afternoon time out to try preparing for and trying to work the first of milanese braids, although not as much time as I would like yet. From being a steady recovery time we seem now to be having to make up for all the time I lost recooperating. Never mind, I will get on with it.

Hi Bev, I'll be your company!!! I'm also working on a garter. Your patterns sounds very similar to mine with the beading down the centre. I just measered mine and I am at 33 centimetres. When do you need yours done by? My son's wedding is August 26, but I want to get it done in plenty of time. You've been making so many 12 inch (30 cm) pieces lately, I'm sure that's why it seems slow. Remember to keep going once you reach 30 cm. (hehehehe) These garters are beautiful, but a lot of work.

Re: [lace] long lace/garters
Hi Irene and everyone goodie, lots of people making long laces, and some of us into garters! I am greatly encouraged. The 25 cm. that are on the pillow as of last night are still 25 cm. this morning (no garter elves?) but I'm pumped, the next 5 cm. will be fun. Yes Irene I promise to keep going.. The wedding is early August, but I hope to present the garter to the bride-to-be at a family shower, when all the female relatives will ooh and aah appreciatively, I do so hope. It will be the only time the garter can be examined closely by an audience I rather think. These garters are beautiful, but a lot of work. I wasn't so sure of the beauty until I threaded ribbon through it after reading Lynn's message. wow, what a difference. Gathered, it was so pretty. And from my own hands. This is why we make lace :) Do we have anyone else making a garter right now? Jenny wrote: I'm just pricking out a bucks garter, bobbins... I'm counting on at least 10 years before it is needed! No fair! LOL But you will enjoy making it. I'm liking my pattern now that I've seen it with the ribbon through it. I need to work on it now, rather than talk about it - at some point I'll take a picture and post it somewhere for y'all to have a look :) -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Long lace
I currently have a narrow edging on my travel pillow that I'm trying to grow after cutting 1.5 yards off for a friend's birthday present. I left myself about 8 inches on the pillow and it is about 18 inches now after a week of working on it. I like doing edgings, even when I have no project in mind to use them for. I am contemplating starting a wide edging in either 's Gravenmoer or Ipswich just for something more challenging to think about. Two recent accomplishments - a bracelet in 's Gravenmoer and a Schneeberger swan. The swan has been on the pillow for over a year and even though I didn't need the pillow right now I set myself to finishing it. It's difficult to switch my hands from a point ground edging using 140 to a tape lace using tatting cotton! The bracelet I absolutely love. It's the one I started during our virtual lace day. I used wire for the outside edge gimp and it holds a nice shape while I'm wearing it. Hopefully one of these days I'll get a photo of it posted. Doing some travelling this weekend, so I need to grab a tatting project to take along. Probably another bookmark for my stash. I give them away as soon as I get them made!

Hi All, I am about to take Edging 27 from Lace for Church Use off the pillow and mount it on fabric for my local church at Easter. It is about 70 long. The pillow is a custom made square one which my friend's husband made a base for when I did Eeva-Lisa's Cricifixion a couple of years ago. Took Pat Milne (attended a couple of her workshops)'s advice and made multiple blocks - a square (23 x 23) single one, and thirds - one piece on the outside and blocks in the centre for moving up lace. Well worth the effort, and because I did it all at the beginning it is actually done. I am going to start another Eeva-Lisaa picture when it comes off - The Guardian Angel. I have another piece of torchon on a roller pillow and will need 5m + to make a Christening Dress. It will probably get finished for a grandchild. My first grandchild is being Baptised next weekend in Windsor Ontario and will be wearing the outfit I made for her mother 32 years ago!
