Re: [lace] Exchange update/Lace magazine

[Sue Babbs]

Thanks for the mention, Janice.  Yes, I was awarded a Medal of Excellence for
the Christening ensemble (dress, blanket and bonnet) which I had made.  I am
still waiting for it to be sent to me, along with the CD/DVD of the exhibits.
When I enquired yesterday I was told by Michelle that the Guild has still not
overcome the technical issues (which I assume is with the CD not the Medal
production) and so I don't think Jane Partridge can be right about the stack
of CDs being sent out.

I was sad not to be able to be in England in the short time that the exhibit
was up and looked forward to seeing the CD, but I have rather lost interest in
the competition now that it has been shut for two months and the lace has been
safely returned to me.

I would also have liked to see some photos showing the exhibit as a whole, as
well as all the entries.

I've also not yet received Lace so haven't yet even seen the winners, and have
no clue how many entries there were etc

Back on August 4th, the Lace Guild invited winners to post their own photo on
FaceBook, which I did, but it doesn't seem that anyone else did, so anyone
wanting to see my entry can look at that date on
https://www.facebook.com/thelaceguild

I think the CD/DVD of entries replaced the booklet that used to be sold, but
it seems a shame, now that it is so easy to put photos up on the internet, not
to show the lace to a wider than those who went to the exhibit  : (

I suspect that the reason why the photos are not put on the website is because 
the Guild usually produces a cd/dvd of them for sale, and free access to them 
via the website would defeat the object. Contact The Hollies 
(holl...@laceguild.org) if you would like to buy one, I'm fairly certain I saw 
Michelle with a stack she was sending out when I was there a week or so ago.

I am feeling virtuous, I mailed my exchange cards last Monday and sent my

England and Slovenia.
I got my Lace magazine last weekend and have almost finished reading it from
cover to cover.  I noticed that Sue Babbs got a Medal of Excellence in the
Lets Celebrate competition.  There are photos of the winning pieces but not
the lower awards.  Sue, maybe you can put a photo of your winning piece on
the Arachne Flickr site.  That goes for any other Arachne members that may
have had an entry.  I don't think that the Lace Guild puts other photos on
their website.  It would be nice if we could see them as not everyone has the
opportunity of going to the exhibition.
