I have recently signed up for an e-Membership of the Lace guild, and so 
far so good got the two Lace magazines for the year thus far. And if I 
get a membership number I will be even more happy.

I have subscribed to electronic knitting and quilting magazines, they 
have been really great. I have the patterns accessible wherever I am, I 
can print out what I need and do not have to worry about physical 
storage or the vagarities of the postal system.

 Further to Jane's email regarding The Lace Guild electronic membership,
e-Lace is not sent as a pdf, there is an e-members only section of the
website where the e-magazine is accessed.

I would echo Jane's call for patterns, articles, photos etc., etc.;
publications can't survive without them.

One area we do often have a problem with is items for the Young Lacemaker
magazine; while the readers may be young (mostly) they are not necessarily
beginners. More challenging patterns with a 'trendy' (or whatever the
current terminology is) theme and application are always welcome.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

2018-07-13 Thread Jane Partridge
We're just in the beginning stages of receiving the journal of the preserved 
railway where I volunteer in electronic format. What is being done there, and I 
suspect with The Lace Guild as well, is that the electronic pdf file that is 
sent to the printers is also the file that is being sent out to members by 
email. This is most likely the cheapest and simplest way of doing things, for 
those charitable organisations (like the railway and the Guild) that don't have 
funding to get an outside specialist company involved.  With the railway's 
journal, being a pdf it gives me the option of using the up/down arrows to move 
to previous/next page, and typing the page number I want in the box, plus 
scrolling down (which isn't a great hardship!). The contents page at the start 
tells me which page I need for a specific article. Also, if I want to look for 
pieces about, say, a particular loco, I can use the control-f function 
(keyboard command for "find" - I'm using a Windows 10 laptop and!
  Adobe Acrobat Reader) to bring up a search box, into which I can type key 
words.

Production of an "all bells and whistles" version would substantially increase 
the production cost, and would likely require those subscribing to pay more 
rather than less for their electronic magazine - which would defeat the object 
of trying to gain overseas members by making it affordable for them to 
subscribe to (the postal costs for paper copies make them anything but). Do 
remember that the newstand magazines that have electronic versions with all the 
navigation options have much larger circulation figures than our specialist 
magazines, and so have a much greater income to afford the staff and technology 
required. I'm not sure what the exchange rate is at the moment, but from the 
figures Susan quotes for the various subscriptions electronic membership of The 
Lace Guild, at £20.00 (GBP) per year, sounds like a bargain! 

However, for the magazines to continue in either format, the editors are 
(usually) dependent on members sending in patterns (for any type of lace, not 
just bobbin lace) and articles for publication, and the patterns submitted 
don't have to be as complicated as Miss Channer's mat - one of the reasons I 
started subscribing to the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette when I was teaching was 
that their patterns were frequently easy enough for a relative beginner to 
attempt, and being an affordable subscription, it was a lace publication I 
could recommend to my students. So many times you hear someone say their reason 
for not joining the Guild, or submitting a pattern (of their own design) is 
"I'm not good enough" - which in many cases certainly isn't true. Having 
patterns for beginners in the magazines is as important as having the more 
challenging ones for those of us who have been making lace for years, and even 
more so, if we are to encourage new lacemakers to subscribe in the first pl!
 ace!

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin

2018-07-11 Thread J Reardon
I’ve been reading the sample digital IOLI bulletin on my tablet (iPad) and am 
very glad they are offering that option. Tablets work much better for this than 
computers. The tablets, which originated as readers, automatically size the 
page so it fills the screen. You can enlarge the page to zoom in on details. 

I’ve got a number of digital Piecework magazines on my iPad. They have a couple 
features the Bulletin would benefit from. I can move from page to page by 
swiping left and the table of contents has links to take you directly to each 
article. With the Bulletin, it didn’t hold my place when I closed it and I had 
to page through to find where I left off. 

Nobody loses. The print edition is still available for those who prefer it. 
This new feature is a bonus for those of us who prefer it.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin - Staying organized

2018-07-11 Thread Jeri Ames
Dear Lacemakers,
 
Is there a library collection anywhere in the world housing books and
publications focused on both embroidery and lace that is more extensive than
the one here?   How does that owner feel about this subject ?
 
In the case of this library in Maine USA, it is preferable to hold a magazine
in the hand.  The instructions received from the IOLI Bulletin Editor add
more complexity, as you will read below.    
 
My lace and embroidery library, now 4,075 books, is probably the most
extensive private collection in the world for research on these subjects,
especially valuable because the librarian here has read everything in English
and is familiar with what else has been saved that is written in other
languages.  Though periodical publications have not been inventoried, a
system recently began of storing bulletins of guilds / publishers (like
PieceWork) in plastic bins  - by organization.  There are also bins holding
obsolete publications.  Contents are filed by date, with the most current at
the top.  They have their own designated room. 
 
No one can countermand the owner, who belongs to about 12 guilds just to
receive the bulletins (dues are a large expense).  
 
Imagine having different access instructions for each and every item here ! 
Imagine changes every time editors / officers change and institute their
preferences, or constantly having to adapt to new technologies. 
 
When a book or magazine bibliography lists references used, my filing system
is easy to use to find originals. Even if I had a volunteer (Ha Ha), there are
other tasks of more value to do.  An inventory, like the existing one of
books, is of considerable value in helping to find the exact book needed.  I
fail to see the benefit of doing this with periodical publications, given the
labor necessary to implement and constantly update.  A storage system is the
answer here.

If IOLI has been given an email address the Membership Chair does send out
email reminders of when dues are due.

But this only works if the email address is correct so please be extra careful
when writing it down on the renewal form.

And as Janice mentioned you can always check the expiry date on the address

This is the system IOLI had before it was changed to the current one over 10 
years ago. The problems with a single renewal date are (A) having to estimate 
how many extra magazines to have printed to allow for new members joining 
during the year, (B) finding somewhere to store all these extra magazines, (C) 
the extra postage costs for sending out additional magazines (not something you 
can pass on to a new member).

Perhaps IOLI should look at the system The Lace Guild uses.  The renewals 
are sent out once a year, in the magazine and the payment is for the next 
four issues.  It means everyone is on the same renewal date and if you join 
mid year you get the back issues plus those still to come for that year.  I

representative of one  overseas national Guild has told me they have 3 
proofreaders who read the  entire contents of a bulletin from cover-to-cover 
before it is sent to the  printer!
 
Sometimes, our editors are juggling careers that pay bills, as well as  
keeping a spouse and family happy, and home running smoothly.   They really 
need tangible support to stay healthy and strong.  I have  written about the 
unpaid efforts of our remarkable lace women before.  When  they volunteer, it 
would be nice to have someone in the local lace  group who lives nearby 
volunteer to help with errands and the  time-consuming extras (taking the 
family 
dog to the vet, picking up dry  cleaning and the like, waiting for a car to 
be serviced, etc).  Can we help  them out a bit, if we live near them?   
 
Thinking back to my years of working at a newspaper over 50 years ago,  I 
recall that I was required to read other daily newspapers as well as our  
own.  This brought forward items of interest that our newspaper had not  
covered but might be of interest to our department's student readers aged  
13-18.  
 
Lace editors need time to take our pulse.   One Bulletin  Editor 
personally contacted me, and I learned she was aware of  contents of Arachne.   
She 
somehow found time to glance  past any me too memos on Arachne and take 
note of what lace people around  the world were finding of interest. 
 
This is something for our various national and  international Guild leaders 
to ponder.   I hope  they have good backup plans for Bulletin Editors, who 
are human like  the rest of us and need support so they won't burn out.

I will now report that I have almost read all the Bulletin and have only to 
decide which classes and tours I want this summer.  I was not in such a hurry 
to see the offerings as in past years as I was able to view the class choices 
at the Portland Lace Society website over the last few months.  Nice to see 
that they are arranging an Arachne luncheon this year so we will all be able to 
meet up again.  Go here and choose the IOLI Convention, then Classes and you 
will be able to see photos of some of the laces being offered.  I also noticed 
that the mailing date is February 1, so better make some decisions soon.

Cindy did a nice job again with the Bulletin.  There are articles by other 
Arachne including Liz Ligeti in Australia, Tamara Duvall, and I even spotted a 
book review from Pene Piip.  Lots of nice needlelace info for me.

Thein has written a long, long (9 pages) article, several without pictures, that is a 
fascinating read.  DH kept asking me questions and my reply was I'm reading!! 
 She takes us back in time on a search for the Empress Eugenie Laces, something I had not 
heard of before.  She has researched these laces on their journey from Belgium to New 
York, and, not wanting to spoil the read for those who have not received the magazine, I 
felt I was with her along the journey, even imagining the stink from the robbed grave.  
Bet that piques your curiosity.

I was also fascinated because I have a new interest in needlelace.  The lace in 
question is colored point de gaze and so very, very fine.  I just did a clumsy 
piece of needlelace of which I was very proud, as those who know me, know that 
the needle and I are not friends. :-)  My piece was a sample for a local guild 
class so that I can pass on what knowledge I gleaned last year at convention.  
I took a class with Nancy Evans that I really enjoyed, mainly because we used a 
variety of sizes of threads starting with DMC 5.

For my class, I would like to list some good needlelace books.  I have the Lace 
Guild book and a couple of reference books, but I would like some suggestions 
on books that are still available for purchase.  I used the Encyclopedia of 
Needlework by T.de Dillmont for my examples of stitches and that has a great 
many stitches.  Mine is a very old copy of the book.  Is it still available in 
a reprint?  Please send any suggestions to the list, even though I have to wait

 What's the difference between a 
 blanket stitch and a buttonhole one? Nancy Evans (Needle Lace With 
 Nancy), on p 11, says:
 [...] begin blanket (often wrongly called buttonhole) stitching 
 tightly [...]

The often wrongly called is your clue:  certain embroiders want to use 
blanket stitch for all forms of buttonhole, in order to reserve buttonhole 
for what we've always called tailor's buttonhole  (buttonhole stitch with an 
extra twist, suitable for buttonholes on heavy fabrics such as coating.)  

They aren't getting very far -- partly because of the tremendous inertia of 
bushels of reference materials that use the older terms, and partly -- I 
suspect -- because blanket stitch sounds as though it ought to be coarse 
enough to work on the edge of a blanket, and sounds funny as a description of 
buttonholing.  

It's more plausible to refer to blanket stitch as Spaced Buttonhole than to 
call buttonhole a closely-worked blanket stitch.   Enthoven (The Stitches of 
Creative Embroidery) refers to Spaced buttonhole, also known as blanket 
stitch, and doesn't, as near as I can tell without re-reading the whole book, 
mention tailor's buttonhole at all.  Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery 
Stitches describes tailor's buttonhole in great detail, then ends cryptically 
When used for actual buttonholes on tailor-made garments, the process of 
working is reversed. without saying *what* is reversed.  I suppose she was 
only heading off those who would be confused by a different description in a 
tailoring book; teaching the making of buttonholes is outside the scope of a 
dictionary of embroidery stitches.  She does strongly imply that tailor's 
buttonhole can, or should, be worked only on edges.

(We just hashed this out on 18th-Century Woman, if you're wondering why I had 
references at my fingertips.)

There is a wonderful book by Marion Scoular entitled Advice is for
listening to--not necessarily taking!! She devotes several pages (with
illustrations) to the difference between blanket stitches (used in Hardanger
edgings, among other applications) and buttonhole stitches, which actually
get a knot at the fabric edge of each stitch.

Impossible to describe in words, unfortunately. If you know anyone who does
embroidery, or are near an embroidery guild, you might be able to take a
look at this book--pages 38 and 42.

Dear Jean,

I remember complimenting Debra Jenny (Editor) for putting the web address for 
IOLI on *every* page of the bulletin, so we could look up pertinent 
information at any hour of the day or night and from any nation.  If you have 
kept past 
issues, you will see:

www.internationaloldlacers.org

If you go to the web page, you will find *IOLI Bulletin* as a choice about 
half way down the menu on the left.  And when you go to this page, you will 
find 
the address to click on to write to the editor.

It is a lot easier (to me) than looking up eBay listings, and searching for 
other sorts of information on the internet!

Debra is one of the nicest and most reliable officials at IOLI.  She will be 
horrified that there has been an error at the printer's.

No, you're not.   I've heard from one member of Arachne on the west 
coast on Canada, one in central Canada, and I'm in eastern Canada, and 
none of us have received our copies yet;  Which is really weird, 
considering that's it's arrived in Australia, Estonia, England, etc.  
And we're much geographically closer than any of those countries.  
What's going on?  It's this way with every issue.  It makes you wonder 
why we pay extra for postage to Canada.

Hi everyone,

 Wow! I can't believe that I got mine in Wasaga before anyone else here
in Canada...

As long as we are comparing scars g - and I thought I was at the end of
the world and Ottawa was closer to the centre g, g - *my* copy of the
IOLI bulletin arrived Thursday (Oct. 14).
My copy of La Encajera arrived yesterday - haven't had time to read either
but have a free evening - ah the luxury of lace reading :

(although other mails which are supposed to have been received by now are
taking their time...tsk...)

bye for now

Got mine yesterday - it's really good :-)  Just to rub it in, as Malvary 
organised my membership for me at the same time as her own.

Margot,

Are you sure your postal workers aren't on strike? (BG) It seems that every 
time I travel to B.C. the postal or some other workers are on strike.

  And Goodie Good!!! - My Bulletin from IOLI just arrived!

 I'm glad the Bulletins are being received in Australia.  But can anyone
 explain, given the distances involved,  why the Australians get them
 before they arrive in Canada?  It happens with every issue.

 my IOLI Bulletin.

 Well, Janice, now I don't have to read the Bulletin when it comes!
 You've given a synopsis of the magazine so we won't have any surprises!
 Next time I see the title I'll delete without reading the posting...
