[lace] Looking for Erica McLeod

Hi, Is Erica McLeod from NZ still on the list? If not does any of you have her e-mail address. I can't find hers, must have gone down the drain with lots of my files last year. Have a Happy New Year with lots of nice lacemaking in the future. Miriam in Arad Israel - To unsubscribe send email

[lace] enlarging a pattern

Hi everyone Further to the remarks on enlarging - using the 1.41 factor - if the pattern has been reduced by half, however way that was done - I photocopy it at 200% to get it to full size. I am doing a tape lace pattern by Sebastiana van den Herik and many in the book are at 50%. This is a good

[lace] Lights

Hi All, I almost put Lights, Camera, Action in the subject line in homage to Tamara but I'll leave it at Lights. I got one for Christmas! It's a floor lamp with a bendy part between the pole and the fixture. It's a Happy Eyes by Verilux. It's fabulous for NL and it shows true color. Now I just

[lace] lace after Christmas

Hi, I'll help Jane out with creating messages. It's been very quiet over the holiday, and especially the past 24 hours--which is quite normal for the List at this time of year. On the day after Christmas, one of our lace ladies holds a Lace-In and Potluck Soup Luncheon for anyone who wants

[lace] NL question

Yes, I cut the threads Grimwood's way (between the backing fabrics). It's easier than it looks. But the little cut ends are a pain, at the end, because they have to be taken out one or two at a time (sometimes with tweezers!). Still, it's worth giving it a try. -- Aurelia - To unsubscribe send

I'll help Jane out with creating messages. Me too :) I've been quieter than usual, because I've been taking a crash course in computerese (watch my 'puter crash in the near future g) from my son and his girlfriend -- got 2 techno geeks for the price of one. The price being feeding them Polish

[lace-chat] Monica Ferris again

Hi All, I just finished Crewel World, Monica Ferris' first book. With the recommendations on chat I'd bought one in Ithaca, then Sumac lent me two and I ordered Crewel World with my last order of gifts from Barnes Noble (had to get it over $25. for free shipping G). I usually just read with

[lace-chat] Modern Fashion in Detail

Hi All, I'm doing my best to break the silence but I think this is the last thing I've been meaning to write about! I got a wonderful book Modern Fashion in Detail by Claire Wilcox and Valerie Mendes, Overlook Press, ISBN 0-87951-869-3 (Jeri has me well trained). The authors are both in the
