Re: [lace] List is quiet
Hello I have been busy all this week helping to run the Australian Lace Guild annual Conference in Melbourne Australia. We have 90 people attending in total. There are five classes : Florence Quinette from France teaching Bayeaux Lace Pat Milne - Torchon Annette Lally - Honiton Vickie Taylor - Lace jewellery Margaret Stephens - Needle lace ( amaelia ars from her just released book ) ((sorry about the spelling!!)) There is also an evening program of lectures and a tutors showcase. On Wednesday there was an excursion to a historic cottage and to the Embroiderers Guild to view their lace collection and see their current exhibition. Altogether a wonderful week of learning and catching up with lacemakers from around Australia. Next years Conference will be in Launceston Tasmania. Check out the ALG Website later in the year for more details.

Re: [lace] Ithaca lace weekend
So glad you enjoyed the weekend and Holly's class. The invisible join is amazing and is truly invisible! Wish I could've been there to catch up with old friends.

[lace] Ithaca lace weekend
Malvary Cole mentioned that many lacemakers in the US were attending the Finger Lakes Lace Guild's lace weekend. That includes me, and I wanted to report that it was GREAT! As is usual, I spent too much money--two books, and lots of linen and silk thread to make a scarf. All the classes were very good, per the reports I heard. I'm sure others can chime in about the ones they took, but I did a Bucks Point hexagon demonstrating an invisible start/finish, developed and taught by Holly Van Sciver. It really is invisible! The techniques that she has come up with take each pair in the ground that was just sewn in and work it through the next row of ground, so it looks like everything else because it is. There is a cool trick for anchoring a pair from the outside of a region of cloth stitch into the cloth stitch. And pairs from the headside make the last picots, get sewn into the figured part, and then go out to be anchored in the headside passives. Overall, the results are amazing. In short, the weekend was great fun. But then, get that many lacemakers together and it's sure to be a blast!

[lace] List is quiet - been busy
I wondered about everyone but I was busy myself. So far this month I've attended two regular lace meetings and our annual Lace Day, taught a short bobbin lace class in Tillamook, and am trying to get my things ready for a 3-day Bucks class starting tomorrow. The teacher threw in an extra chore of drawing a diagram of the pattern I'm using in the class. (There's no diagram or picture with this particular pattern.) In addition, I've put away all the patio furniture and garden decorative items before the strong winter storm that's hitting later today. And I'm chairman of a sale at church in another week. I've been finishing my projects for that sale. I've never drawn a Bucks diagram before -- only Torchon. It's been a challenge. There must be some basic rules/methods that I'm not aware of. I enlarged the pattern 250 percent and have been making a lot of use of my eraser. I can see why some diagrams are 500+ percent larger than the actual pattern. Now I need to run some errands while it's raining gently before the main storm comes in. Rain is forecast for the foreseen future with an even stronger storm (remains of a typhoon) hitting Saturday. Lovely weather to drive 30 miles each way each day to the lace class. I'm really glad Lace Day was last week when we had a nice day.

Re: [lace] List is quiet
Janis - that looks about right. Brian Lenin in Australia looking for Pompi Parry was the last one I got. Don't worry - you are still with us. Canada was celebrating Thanksgiving last weekend and it was Columbus Day in the US with many people attending the Ithaca Lace weekend. Malvary in Canada where is it a very dull, dreary day -Original Message- From: Janis Savage Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2016 9:49 AM To: lace@arachne.com Subject: [lace] List is quiet Is the list very quit or have I somehow removed myself from it by mistake?
