Re: [h-cost] All Hallows
I wore hubby's "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" Great Pumpkin. This was our entry at Archon this year (St. Louis science fiction convention). I only kept it on long enough for the contest, though, as I was sweating buckets in it. I think they decided to turn the heat up in the building last night (and the temp hit 75 F today in Nebraska - go figure!) Everyone seemed to like it, but I didn't win the contest. Oh, well. :-( When a pic is available from the convention, or I can get another one posted somewhere, I'll let you know.

I bought something similar to thinsulate, as the LFS was out of thinsulate. I don't remember what she called it, but what I bought resembles a thick synthetic craft felt. Slightly less stiff and slightly more fluffy than craft felt. Now that the coat is assembled, I think it's too thick. My daughter thinks it's wonderful and warm, so that's okay, I guess. Also, I never did find the direction pages 2 and 3, so the construction is probably a little unorthodox. I assumed that since there were several separate pattern pieces for the lining that they would be cut slightly smaller. That does not appear to have been the case. Either that, or the thickness of the insulation is changing the lining's fit. If I hadn't whip stitched the insulation pieces together over the lining seams (to make it lay flat) I think I would go back and add another 1/8 in to the lining seams. A few of them, at least, but undoing the hand stitching, re-sewing the seams, trimming the insulation and re-stitching just seems like a little too much work. ;-) Well, thanks for all the advice!

Rouen: Publications de l'Universite de Rouen, 2004. ISBN:2877753638 9782877753630 OCLC:56750959 L'histoire de la Normandie est intimement liée à celle de la production de la draperie. Pendant plus de sept siècles, du Moyen Âge jusqu'à la fermeture en 1970 de l'entreprise Blin & Blin, la Normandie a été le berceau de cette activité industrielle et artisanale, source d'emploi et de prospérité. Le coton, la laine, voire le chanvre et le lin ont été largement exploités par de nombreuses entreprises, dont les plus éminentes se situaient dans la ville d'Elbeuf. C'est à cette tradition désormais révolue que chercheurs et historiens, spécialistes de l'histoire régionale ont consacré une quinzaine d'études. Ils analysent la production des différents centres normands, les réseaux de commercialisation et d'exportation, les mécanismes de transferts et de technologie. L'ouvrage se compose de trois parties : la première retrace la draperie à l'époque médiévale, la seconde concerne les échanges et exportations, la troisième traite de l'apogée et du déclin de cette activité. Beaune (France). Drôles de trames : Tapisseries médiévales et contemporaines. [Beaune]: Muse es de Beaune, 2002. ISBN:2850565946 9782850565946 OCLC:52471414 120 pp. With 104 ills. (101 col. ) and 41 reference ills. 28 x 26 cm. La Ville de Beaune, qui abrite une importante collection de tapisseries médiévales (Tenture de la Vie de la Vierge et tapisseries de l'Hôtel-Dieu), a par ailleurs joué un rôle de mécène, encourageant ainsi la création lorsque cet art renaissait après 1945. La confrontation entre tradition et modernité met en lumière continuités et différences: une complicité se dessine entre les lissiers anonymes du XVe siècle et les artistes rénovateurs, tels Jean Lurçat, Marcel Gromaire, Marc Saint-Saëns, Mario Prassinos, Michel Tourlière... L'art de la tapisserie est toujours bien vivant, comme le montrent les oeuvres contemporaines de Mario Botta, Diana Brennan, Ester Chacon-Avila, Bernard Fortin, Thomas Gleb, Josep Grau-Garriga, Fabrice Hybert, ou Gérard Michot. Magnificence des grandes commandes du Moyen Âge et force créatrice des artistes qui ont choisi ce moyen d'expression se répondent et offrent au lecteur une aventure émotionnelle haute en couleur.
