Re: [lace] Arachne Lurker's Complaints

Hi Jeri, I read most of the Arachne postings and saw that email, and really had no idea what the problem was. In fact, I went to the Archives to see if I had missed a posting or thread. I do the same as Adele, and just google the archives when I need them. I appreciate all the you post, Cindy

[lace] Arachne Lurker's Complaints

Dear Lacemakers, This memo came in over the weekend, and I responded directly to the author in Australia. Upon further thought, it occurred to me that maybe I should find out from the remainder of our membership if they think I have an "attitude", since I am definitely the one who puts

Re: [lace] Arachne Lurker's Complaints

Hi Jeri et al: > Did other members have problems with learning to use Arachne? > Were you guided through the process by fellow lacemakers at the beginning? The main problems I had were common to all e-mail message forums - it was 1996 and I was completely new to e-mail. I can’t remember

Re: [lace] Bucks Point Wedding Garter

Hi Sue You don’t need a custom garter pattern; just use an edging pattern that you like. Make two copies of it, trim one very close to the footside pins and place it over the other copy so that there is one line of ‘footsie’ pins down the middle. Omit or blank out every other one of those

RE: [lace] Antique Laces of American Collectors c.1922

The article at the Arizona site is only a review of the work printed in the magazine Arts & Decoration. The actual work has three parts. 1.A large scale portfolio of 104 plates (the 'folio' referred to in the A article). Last one I saw for sale is priced at $661.25. I have a copy in my

[lace] Early Lace books by Gillian Dye

After a 4 year hiatus, I'm trying to get back to lacemaking, and have a lot of catching up to do. Can someone tell me how to obtain Gilian Dye's books on the Early Laces (I have the Elizabethan Lace but nothing published since then -- 3? 4? new books, I hear)? I do not have her e-address to ask

Re: [lace] Arachne Lurker's Complaints

Hi All As an Australian I feel I should say a few things. Firstly I have found noting offensive said by anyone, so cultural differences are not the issue. I believe the issue is simply computer access to the web. I have been involved with computer education since the late 1980's. A couple

[lace] Garter, complaints

Sue, try Alex. Stillwell's new Floral Bucks book. I think there is a garter in there. Jeri, - your knowledge and advice is invaluable, and we are so lucky to have you on the list to 'educate' us . I have been on the receiving end of your kindness and thoughtfulness, and those 2 little words

[lace] Re: Early Lace Books by Gilian Dye

Thanks, everyone, for prompt replies. Especial thanks to Bev Walker, for suggesting Barbara Fay; I just got a mailing from her (well...) and had two books (not Dye) on my bucket list already. Might as well add the three by Dye. -- Tamara P Duvall Lexington,

[lace] No complaints from Oz.

Hear, hear, Liz. If it wasn't for Jeri some of us would be very naive about how to care for our lace as such a lot of information is in the heads of our talented lacemakers/collectors. I've just ordered some Orvus as I read that this would be the ultimate cleaner for some lace I need to

[lace] Let's be kind and inclusive

Dear Spiders, Emails are easily mis-interpreted, there are no visual, facial or aural cues on which we often rely. Jeri contributes much to the list and this is generous. The email that Jeri quoted started off with "I am a lurker to Arachne and do find reading my emails very informative, it is
