Re: [lace-chat] thistle bookmark
Hi, I made a Beds fan in colors. The traditional Beds methods do not translate readily to colors, so adaptations must be made. I had to have one color just cross under a trail to continue on the other side instead of trading pairs with the trail. There was also extra starting and stopping of threads for the color changes. Doing what must be done to get the color where you want it, must come ahead of strict traditional methods, but the results can be wonderful. Be adventuresome and give it a try.

Beds is not given to be made in color, but when I got the spirit of it, I was hooked. The principal difficulty, ahem! Challenge, is to find ways to change colors. I just checked and my picture of it is still on the Arachne webshots. http://community.webshots.com/photo/314148412/1325990697048870129OFRfli I think I have looked at this before but did not study it. It is a very neat design and I love the changing colors. May I ask how you did the barley leaves as I thought that in Beds the side leaves were worked by pairs that go into and out of the center stalk? Did you have to keep removing a color worker or did you carry it along some how? On the large flower, did the worker threads go into the center as on my computer it appears to be all green in the center?

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: The IRS
From: P.H. Dear IRS: Enclosed is my 2005 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes. Please note the attached article from USA Today, wherein you will see that the Pentagon is paying $171.50 for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00 for a toilet seat. I am enclosing four toilet seats (value $2,400) and six hammers (value $1,029), bringing my total remitted to $3,429.00. Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the Presidential Election Fund, as noted on my return. You can do this inexpensively by sending them one 1.5 Phillips Head screw (article from USA Today detailing how HUD pays $22.00 each for 1.5 Phillips Head Screws is enclosed for your convenience.) It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year. Sincerely, A Satisfied Taxpayer To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It sooo reminds me of an old Polish one: A major at a boot camp intercepts a telegram: the mother of one of the recruits tells her son that his father had died; he needs to come home for the funeral. The major wants to pass the bad news on. He calls the sergeant of the recruit platoon and asks him to deliver the news, as gently as possible. The sergeant says it's no problem, he'll do it. Next morning, all the recruits are lined up in a formation for the roll-call and the sergeant yells: All those with living fathers... Stp Out! They do, among them the one whose father had just died. The sergeant looks over the line, comes to the boy and says: and what the eff do you think *you* are doing here? -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
