[lace-chat] Photo copying.
Hi all, I just had a phone call from a branch of Staples asking my permission to photo copy one of my table cloth patterns. I thought it was very good of them. I gave permission for one copy. Good on Staples. Vivienne, Presencia To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here. For help, write to arachnemodera...@yahoo.com.
[lace-chat] Re: [lace] Photo copying.
Hello Vivienne Good of them to call!! Mind you, Staples are very hot on copyright!! I remember trying to get a copy of a photograph done there they refused because I did not have the photographers permission in writing I took the photo!!

Re: [lace-chat] bobbins
Agnes asked how many bobbins do you have. Lots and lots and lots and lots, but I'd rather make lace than stop to count. A different question would be how many UFO's do you have with bobbins still on them - lots and lots and lots of them too.

Re: [lace-chat] bobbins
I tend to be better about Lace UFOs than other kinds... I have several quilt-tops that are completed, but need to be quilted, for example. I have a four or five knitting projects in the current knitting basket (with numerous others put away years ago!). I don't keep lace UFOs because they tie up pillows and bobbins... if I'm not happy enough with something to work it to the end, I cut it off and move on. I have two projects on pillows at the moment... one is Binche and takes all the concentration I can muster, and the other is a 's Gravensmoer scarf, which is something I can do in my sleep now, after doing nearly 52 inches of it. When I've worked the Binche until my brain hurts, then the 's G is a relaxing alternative! And like Malvary, I'd rather make lace than count bobbins! Lots and lots is a good description!

Re: [lace-chat] bobbins
I'll admit to having 3 lace projects currently on the go - involving around 600 bobbins between them. One Binche, which I haven't touched since Sweet Briar when Bobbi Donnelly got me hooked on a Tønder piece. This latter piece has about 10 repeats and a corner to go before being completed, which I plan to do while demonstrating at the Chicago Botanic Garden over 6th, 7th and 8th November. So I have put it away till then, as I need something to do while at the Fine Art of Fiber. So then I started a piece of Bucks. I don't usually have this many lace UFOs around the place. Then you can add a quilt, three jackets, and a knitted sweater around the place (and lots of ideas in the head!)

Re: [lace-chat] Chestnut adventure
Hi all, I agree about the good smells and the questionable texturebut a couple of years ago, we took a Christmas-time river cruise in the south of France (the Rhone) and were introduced to Creme de Marron (Chestnut Cream) and Chestnut liqueur. The Creme de Marron looks a bit like apple butter but tastes like nutty-creamy-sweet heaven on toast or croissants. I found some here at home (the U.S.) in a shop which carries imported food items. The chestnut liqueur is from Tournon and is a wonderful after dinner drink. I only have a bit left and I'm afraid it may not be exported, so looks like I'll have to take another trip to Tournon!

Re: [lace-chat] RE Chuckle for today
And today when I phoned our electricity company to report a power outage / power cut, I was told that I could check online to see what was causing the problem. Unfortunately that needs power!
