Hello Nathalie and everyone I haven't written to you as you request, I don't want to join this display. What lace would be like 100 years on, that I can't imagine. However the future of lace is an interesting subject. What I was thinking, 100 years from now, especially if we all look after our

I know it is a little early to be thinking of next summer and another great convention, but I did want to let you all know that next year there are 3 Arachne members on the co-host committee and they will be planning our get-together.  We are hoping that there will be a concession stand where we

Just adding a thought: I hesitate to contribute. I have pickings that I've designed done or tatting patterns that I've worked the bugs out of, BUT I don't have what it takes to deal with complaints criticism. I am NOT a professional nor am I some uber OCD designer. I'm an artist and a mom. If

Robin, as a *former* Mental Health Therapist, I just want to say that when you were tatting and it made you happy, you were doing it absolutely RIGHT! If you made a mistake, it was when you allowed someone else to steal your joy. So, recognize the beauty and talent within, and do your own

Dear Jeri, When I wrote my email, I felt sure that you would know of the Fellers - and must surely have the books, but it was late and I was tired and not up to searching the archives. Thank you for the URL. This time I've bookmarked the search page. Nor did I have time to look around the

I, too, went to Convention in Sacramento, and had a wonderful time. I took only morning classes as I had my DH with me, and had to spend some time with him!! I took the Gold Silver Early Laces, with Gil Dye, and it was fabulous. Working on graph paper, instead of a design was a challenge - that I

-Did everyone like the fact that I included a more detailed class description, photos and supply lists, where available, online last time?  If so, I will do it again but I have not received much feedback on that.   HI, Janice, Okay, I didn't get to go to convention and don't expect to get

Janice, I loved the web site place to get the class information, and supplies, and also the photos of class samples. It was great. Perhaps others, like me, did not know who to comment to about it. It was a great idea, and yes, I suggest you try it again next year. Having photos of the various

Sounds amazing and I did just look on google. Didn't see anything lace though sadly. We used to do living history American fur trapper times and we made a Tipi and used it for a couple of seasons camps. Amazing dwellings and I would think the yurt would be fantastic. Moving the 22 ft poles

Okay, now I know it is SCA.  I didn't know anything about either when I lived in Pennsylvania.  I had heard the name, probably on Arachne at some time but never followed it up.  Sounds like fun.  I remember going to a reenactment in Lichfield, England when my kids were little and it sounds a lot
