[lace-chat] Gutterman Thread

2003-12-21 Thread WebbRP54
I'm looking at a pattern in "Birds, Bees & Butterflies" for a Bruges Cocral.  
The thread called for is Gutterman machine.  Is this  regular sewing machine 
thread?

Thanks for all your wonderful help.

Love it!

I've just got back from the London Symphony Orchestra's Christmas concert at
the Barbican, where we were allowed to join in with this one. The conductor,
Richard Hickox, was far from happy with our tempo during "Four Calling
Birds, Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves".  He said we were much too slow
and we had to do it several times before he was satisfied.  I dread to think
how we would have fitted in "FOUR hours of recorded whale songs, THREE
deconstructionist poets, TWO Sierra Club calendars printed on recycled
processed tree carcasses"!

Regards,
Annette, in London

[lace-chat] SP package for Jane D.

2003-12-21 Thread ysandra sliverneedle
Season's Greetings Jane D.
I have just been informed that one of the other packages I sent off to England
over a month ago has STILL not arrived! I must assume that your package has
also not arrived. Please be assured that I have sent your last SP package
(late assuredly, but most definitely sent!)  My apologizes for having sent it
late. I had hoped that the package would have arrived sometime ago, never
dreaming it would take so long to arrive.
Season's Greetings
Ysandra

Dear Friends,
Many thanks for the replies re the silk gauze for petit point. I ended up 
going to a site based in New York called www.micro-stitchery.com

However, for those who are not into designing their own, this site 
certainly has some lovely designs:-

I thought it was repealed at the restoration with the removal of the 
commonwealth and all the laws passed during that time

I haven't checked on it, but it's been widely said over the last couple of
weeks that Oliver Cromwell passed a law banning the celebration of Christmas
and it's never been repealed. If it is the case, then most of this country's
breaking the law.
