Hi Arachnids
When I was chairman of the Education Sub-committee and working on the
assessment schedules we worked on the presumption that the Advanced standard
of the Lace Guild Assessments should be that suitable for a teacher. I then
suggested that the Advanced certificate should include the
Jenny, the Michel Jourde patterns came directly from him - I have bought
several this year, I sent him my address and sent a cheque on receipt of
the prickings. I gather from the blog that his children will continue the
sales, but I should imagine it'll take some time before they can sort out
the
I am also very sad to hear this piece of news. His patterns and his name
are well known by me too. Now I have an extra desire to make the
salamander: a kind of memorial to Michel Jourde. Thanks a lot to Susan who
has so kindly sent me the pattern.
Best regards.

I am so glad I have a complete set of Lace Express - Michel Jourde is one of
my favourite designers from that series. For anyone who is interested -

I want to try out a pattern which I think might work in Finca thread (before I
buy more to make one my projects in the coming months). I was quite
confident that way back I picked up a spool of it in Hobbie Crafts at the same
time as I bought the first block pillow for lace when I knew almost
I do not want to disturb the family for a pattern so am trying to find an
alternate source for the Excalibur pattern by Michel Jourde and stumbled
across this site that sells a lot of his patterns - not the sword
unfortunately.

Filato per tombolo di cantu is wonderful thread. My teacher when I learned
to make lace highly recommended it. It makes excellent Torchon lace which
holds its shape well, and it behaves beautifully while you are working with
it. It is also available in brilliant white.
I have used it for
I have used Filato per tombolo di Cantu, both for making Cantu and for other
things. As you have Brenda's book you can work out what size pattern it
works with. I find that it is quite firm when worked and makes up very
well. I used it for one of my samples for my Lace Guild Assessment.
Sad news about Michel Jourde I am at present working the dragon he designed for
Lace Express and as I have also been working on several other projects I'm
sorry to say my dragon rather got pushed to the rear, so now I will get him
down again and finish him in Michel's honour.

I have followed the teacher evaluation and qualification thread with great
interest, both as a student and as a teacher.
Janice, I think it is a good idea to provide the evaluation form beforehand
to IOLI teachers - especially the new ones - and also give guidelines to
teachers as to how to deal
Karen brings up a good topic regarding whether one is a beginner,
intermediate or advanced. A unified understanding of those terms might be a
good
idea in order to avoid people signing up for the wrong class. In NJ there
were a lot of people who thought they were beginners, and did not have
I like the idea of an international lacemaking standard to remind Lacemakers
that they are actually rather good.
Too many people suffer from what we call here in the UK 'oh, that old thing'
syndrome. You might not have known it had a name but you or someone you know
probably suffers from it.
I was stunned to read this and work out my position in your class structure.
If someone asked me i would have said not a beginner but not an
intermediate, but reading this puts me in the advanced class. I thought I
needed to ask too many questions for that to be the case even with over 500
I have seen class descriptions that refer to confident beginners and I like
that description. Even with the basic skill levels Devon mentions, there is a
difference between the student who needs to have the teacher coach them every
step of the way, and the student who can make the same pattern
Hello Devon and everyone
I like the term improver which as I understand it, means a person knows
what to do but would like more practice, especially after the beginning
steps. or even having tried more than one style of lace, would like the
kind of beginner-type approach.
Definitely specifics as
I think Devon's suggestion is a good one. My opinion (for whatever it is
worth):
I agree that a beginner class involves winding bobbins, making a hitch that
holds, weaver's knot, half stitch, cloth stitch, ctct, various footsides,
torchon ground, braids/plaits. If a student has to learn these

Dear Jenny, Janice and others,
Have had a glance through my filing system for Lace Express and did not find
Excalibur, does not mean it is not there, I just did not see it. Still have a
squirrel on a pillow from Michel's first appearance in Lace Express in 3/1999.
Born in 1955 so under 60 - too
I believe Jenny meant this for the list in general and not just to me.

Sue, I use Finca thread most of the time - for both bobbin and needlelaces,
and I am happy with it. I also use Brok sometimes, but as finca is the
easiest to get locally, I use that most of the time. I have various
thicknesses of it, and the reels last a long time, and are not too
expensive.
