[lace] webshot album
I was so amazed that I had managed to set up the webshot album that I forgot to mention in the orginal note who sheilabucks is, I must explain that it is the new name for Sheila Brown of Sawbridgeworth,E.Herts. for use with the photo album. I didn't want to be Sheila Brown 116! Never thought there would be as many with my name, but wouldn't it be a hoot if we all had the same birthday!. Hope this clears up any confusion. From a lovely, sunny Sawbo' good morning to you all.

The trick obviously is that the recipient will do the lengthy mental arithmetic of 7 times table and additions. For those who are interested in recalcitrant cats, there are two very nice patterns in Dieren in Kleur by Sebastiana van den Herik. One is the Sitting-down Puss, and the other is the Lying-down Puss.

[lace] Bridal Handkerchief
A while ago, I asked if anyone had the poem for the bridal handkerchief which will eventually be changed into a baby cap. I have the poem for the baby cap and know there is the bridal poem out there somewhere. I had it once for lost it in changing computers. My niece is getting married and I am making the handkerchief. I never got an answer to my last request and am making it again hoping that someone who did not see my request last time will see it now. The wedding is fast approaching and the lace is almost finished. Thanks in advance.

Re: [lace] Bridal Handkerchief
I have a poem for the other way around! A tiny square of linen And a dainty edge of lace Designed into a bonnet To frame your baby's face After baby's worn it Fold and tuck away And it becomes a hanky For baby's wedding day Not a lot of help to you, I know, but it might be useful for someone else.

[lace] Bridal Handkerchief
I've had a bit of a search, but I can't find a poem for a handkerchief for a bride, only for a christening. Jeanne, when you posted last time, someone challenged me to make one up, so this time I've had a go. I used the poem Jacquie just posted as a starting point. A dainty edge of snow white lace A square of linen fine It's made just for your wedding day With hopes the sun will shine. And after celebrations Fold and store away And it becomes a bonnet For an infant's christening day. Just fold a deep hem over And gather on the fold Some ribbons on the corner Then its history can be told. For it was carried on the day When bub's mum became a wife And it carried all the maker's hopes For a happy wedded life Then perhaps in many years to come It can be used anew To grace another wedding day In the hope the sky is blue!

[lace] sending twice for those not on chat :)
OK I guess I'll put my two cents in. There is a little hanky, given to you this wonderful day. I see it with lace and ribbon. Such a little treasure in every possible way. Not sure how the legend started, but a nice one from above, just a little way to prove to someone that you love. And then one day in the future, when parents you shall be. You take the little hanky, And a bonnet it shall be. And when your children are all grown, you snip the cap apart, And then you have an heirloom, that will come straight from your heart.

[lace] Applying lace to knits
Apologies for posting to the whole list, but I seem to have mislaid Steph Peters' e-address... When you appliqued your tatted piece (elephant?) to a T-shirt, did you strengthen/stabilize the wrong side of the knitted fabric first? I have a piece of lace, and a T-shirt which will look good with it, but worry about the different properties of the two fabrics (the lace doesn't stretch)... Please respond in private, if you think it's of no interest to the rest of the list. --- Tamara P Duvall http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) Healthy US through The No-CARB Diet: no C-heney, no A-shcroft, no R-umsfeld, no B-ush. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace] Applying lace to knits
Hi Tamara, et al Tamara wrote When you appliqued your tatted piece (elephant?) to a T-shirt, did you strengthen/stabilize the wrong side of the knitted fabric first? I have several pieces of lace sewn on t-shirts. The first one was a piece of Honiton, a small flower and leaves. I washed the $3.99 sale price t-shirt to make sure it was colour-fast, then stitched it on all round including the centre of the flower. I have never added anything to the wrong side of the fabric. I made a Milanese motif with Pat Read in England, in the fall of 2002, then came home and made 2 more, same pattern but different braids. I then stitched them onto a t-shirt in a row from left shoulder down on the diagonal. There again I stitched down all around including the inner edges where the motif crossed over itself. The Honiton piece and its t-shirt gets thrown into the washing machine on a regular basis and has never been a problem. The Milanese is normally washed by hand because it is a much better quality t-shirt and I prefer to do it by hand, while it is still looking new! When the Honiton t-shirt wears out, I'll just snip the stitches on the back, take off the lace and stitch it onto something else. I'm looking for the right shirt to stitch my small piece of Withof Duchesse on to. It cost me a fortune to make (two full courses), so I need to do something with it, rather than just leaving it in my work binder.

[lace] Philadelphia info needed
I will be going to Philadelphia, specifically Bryn Mawr, to do research with an elderly colleague. She can not put me up in the senior residence where she is and I do not know the area well enough to find a suitable BB. I also dont drive so this is an added difficulty. Any ideas about suitable accomodation? Since I will be in Philadelpia from the 19th of June to the 30th, I hope to meet local lace makers. I'll have one of my pillows with me and some of the research I'm doing on lacemaking in early French Canada. I hope I'll get to meet some of you soon Lucie DuFresne Ottawa Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One of my addresses, my old university address, was grabbed by spammers from LaRae's Locate-a-Lacemaker page. I didn't know it was there as a clickable link (those are very easy for spammers to grab automatically), but when I found it I asked LaRae to replace it with my Yahoo account, where I don't care about the spam because it goes straight into a bulk mail folder and then into trash. That account does get spam like you describe, targeted at lacemakers. Also, do you belong to a guild or fiber-related organization? Some guild sites put up their members addresses and don't tell them about it. That can also lead to spam if the Web designer doesn't insert spaces or other spam-foiling things to disguise the address. On the topic of avoiding general spam, I strongly recommend that everyone get a yahoo account to use when you need to provide your e-mail address for some reason. Try not to use your personal home account for anything but personal mail and trusted lists. For registering for downloads, registering to read on-line newsletters, filling out surveys, playing games, use an address that you don't care about. Remember to check it from time to time and throw out all the junk. Also, if you register for a site and they have to send you a password, use your throwaway account and remember to check it for the automatic e-mail they send you. I should add that one should be cautious when writing to businesses and strangers. A friend of mine wrote to Leisure Arts to find a place where she could buy some of their patterns. She never got a reply, but she noticed a significant increase in craft-related spam.

[lace-chat] Re: lace-chat-digest V2004 #127
Jenny spotted some Russian lace books on e-bay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=19158item=81108970 08rd=1) I bought the same two books (well, not these copies or they wouldn't be for sale still!) from the same seller several months ago, so they are not as rare as she is implying. As you can see, they are number 1 2; I wonder if this was all that was printed or if there are some different ones stashed away in a warehouse somewhere. I don't remember how much I paid, but not an enormous amount. They are in as new condition, and were well packaged and came quite quickly. Very exciting to get a parcel from Russia. They are interesting with typical Russian style designs in. A lot of the contents are self explanatory, but there are occasions when I wish I could speak Russian. No photographs of the lace, only drawings of the type you can see. The close up stitch diagrams are slightly different to normal. The thread path is shown very clearly, but also have things a bit like speech bubbles (like in comics) around bits of them, which I presume is indicating some subtle point (referred to in the text) regarding that stitch. Very frustrating because I don't know if I am missing some skill or technique that would alter the quality of the lace, or if they are just an idiot's guide for beginners. There also seem to be more patterns than what I have worked out must be the instructions (bobbins, thread etc) for those patterns. Unfortunately, the cover designs are not included (unless the language void means I'm missing something) but the T-shirt one shown is.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: On vacation
I think I've seen this one before, possibly even right here, on chat. But it's still funny enough to be worth reviving... From: A. N. Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation. They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc. The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their tourist garb. They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a drop dead gorgeous topless blonde in a thong bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed them, she smiled and said Good Morning, Father. Good Morning, Father. nodding and addressing each of them individually, then passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests? So, the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud, you could hear them before you even saw them. Once again, in their new attire, they settled on the beach in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a while, the same gorgeous topless blonde, wearing only a string bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them. Again she nodded at each of them, said Good morning, Father. Good morning, Father. and started to walk away. One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said. Just a minute young lady Yes, Father? We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world did you know we are priests, dressed as we are? Father, it's me, Sister Angela. she replied! --- Tamara P Duvall http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) Healthy US through The No-CARB Diet: no C-heney, no A-shcroft, no R-umsfeld, no B-ush.
