Hi Alex
It was finished - and in the washing machine - yesterday afternoon.

I thought I had taken along time. 8 years to make an Bucks point edging and 8
years to make a piece of Honiton for a tray. Congratulations on going back to
a project after so long. Let us know when it is
It's a patchwork quilt that's completed and in the washing machine after 34
years, not a piece of lace!

So there's hope of me finishing the cross stitch sampler that I
started in 1968 for my Mum Dad's silver wedding anniversary
unfortunately they won't see it, as they are no longer with us, but I
could make it for Chris I LOL

This intrigues me, as vinegar is used to set wool. For instance, a crease in
a wool trouser can be removed with a 2:1 vinegar/water solution and an iron,
and also a crease can be set, similarly. It tends to cut extraneous, but
also pickle things, helping hold them in their existing state, but
Dear Friends,
Now that many of you are looking at the pictures I thought you'd be
interested to see the 75 words I wrote to accompany it and explain
how it represented the Rhythm of My Life. Here's what a wrote..
A cross section of this scarf of Vietnamese silk represents my life.
So how many years do you have before it needs to be completed?

Let me echo Liz in congratulating Clay Blackwell on another wonderful Lace
at Sweet Briar. It was great fun, as always, with more potential hours of
lacemaking than any other event that I attend. This year Clay engaged a
masseuse to be available for chair massages of aching shoulders which
Hello Sue,
nowadays a background of chemistry still it is specially about textile doesn't
help much. Because nearly none textile piece is really natural. Also there is
written inside pure wool or what ever there is always a certain amount other
things in.
On the other hand have you ever ironed
And I too want to add my thanks to Clay, and all the teachers for making
this a great event!!
You can lace in the classrooms from early till late - just depends on your
stamina!!
The food, at the meals Clay organises in the Conference centre, is
wonderful. What can beat salmon and / or beef
Hope it's OK to post here. I'd rather offer it to Arachne members than
go thru eBay. This is a roller pillow, I believe an early version, that
I've had for years and not used. There are pictures and details at flickr.
thanks

The Las Conchas fire started in the Jemez mountains at 1:00 on Sunday, and
is a few miles away from Los Alamos where I live. Evacuations are voluntary
at the time, but everyone is waiting for the winds to pick up this afternoon
to see what will happen. I put up a photo on LaceNews that I took
Hello Laurie and everyone
The picture you took is frightening. I know you won't delay to
evacuate, here's hoping all will be safe.

Hi Laurie
I hope it does not get any worse, for you and all the other people in the
area.
I know it reasonably well, having toured it in the late 80's when we lived
in California.
For holidays we'd rent an RV and toured around quite a bit.
Good luck, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Ditto to the kudos for Clay and Lace at Sweet Briar. I really appreciated
the time to concentrate on lace. I took Binche design with Anny
Noben-Slegers and was glad I took it first at Sweet Briar rather than at an
IOLI convention with the attendant distractions of banquets and lectures and
I have to correct the ingredients, they are:
2:1, water to vinegar (though
work in any close approximation).
My caffeine to Susan ratio wasn't quite

I will add that my grandmother was a tailor and
seamstress and taught me this, demonstrating the magic. Of note (in case
Just got the notice, Los Alamos is being evacuated. Bye!

Susan, your remark

made me laugh in my coffee cup - I was lucky, the coffee missed my

Update on Las Conchas Fire. Los Alamos is now under mandatory evacuation,
so Laurie is now in one of the three waves of evacuees.

I attended the very first Sweet Briar and took S'Gravenmore (forgive spelling
if not right). I had a fabulous time and hope to make it down again in the
near future. It was more relaxing to do lacemaking there. And the location is
peaceful.
I will put the people in your area in my prayers.
Dear David,
Nice to know more about you as a person, David. Have to admit you always
seemed interesting without having any clues as to why. It also gives a clue
of about how old you are.

When the kids were growing up, they knew not to really talk to me about
substantive matters until my coffee was done. At that time it was 4 cups, made
in the coffee maker hooked to a timer set to go off 15 minutes before I was
scheduled to wake up. The common question was, Have I had my
