[lace] looking for source in Lace

Hi everyone, and anyone with an index to Lace, or access to back-issues (time on hands an asset?!...) I am looking for the issue number of the magazine containing an article about the illustrative 'Lacemaker' - a painted picture that had been published in This England in the early 1970's - and I

RE: [lace] Lace Day

Lorri, I will be going to the next meeting of Norfolk Lacemakers on 14th March I will see if I can get any information from our course organiser with the intention of contacting Tanya to see if I can get pictures and any information that she can offer. I have just googled Tanya Elliot and got her

Re: [lace] looking for source in Lace

I have a feeling that the painting you are describing was painted by Roy Hirst, but the only reference on Lace magazine's index is to an article about Barbara Roy Hirst - issue 71 page 6. I can search this index by title or author. Lacemaker is too vague - almost every other article includes

Could it be a tool for making sewings? If there is an eye at the bottom of the curved replaceable pieces it could be a lazy Susan. Jay in Sydney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laurie Waters Sent: Wednesday, 5 March

Re: [lace] What is it?

Very interesting! To me, it looks like several needlepins (with handle), for all of those sewings that I avoid!! The fact that there are three hooks make me think they may be somewhat fragile if handled roughly. There is a finesse to sewings with a needlepin, and perhaps the modern ones

RE: [lace] What is it?

Hi Jay ! I agree, it's for sewings. With an eye, it's a Lazy Susan, without an eye, it's a needlepin. I'm betting there are no eyes on these. The purists try to teach us to do the sewings with a needlepin, not with the more modern Lazy Susan. Clay -- Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA USA

Hi Laurie, This looks like a vice to hold the pins/needles below it. What it would be used for , I have no idea. Nancy _ Click here to compare rates and find the best deal on renting a car.

Re: [lace] What is it?

Hi Laurie, This looks like a vice to hold the pins/needles below it. Possibly a seriously mishandled pricker! Where all the pricking needles have got badly bent! Grin! More sensibly - I think Clay is right I agree, it's for sewings. With an eye, it's a Lazy Susan, without an eye, it's a

Re: [lace] What is it?

I hope you'll all forgive me if I argue with myself here! I just looked at the item again, and the seller calles it a Oeil Magique. DUH!! That tells me that in all probability, there *IS* an eye there, and this is what we call a Lazy Susan. Clay -- Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA USA
