Re: [lace] Re: Novel - Tina the Lacemaker?

Hello It is Tina the lacemaker I was asking about. As I have been deleting a lot of mail this spring and summer and this story entered my mind one night :-) I was afraid I had missed an update and I could not find the link. If they are going to sell the book international I will certainly buy a

Re: [lace] bobbin sources

With less annotations and more chaotic, I compete with the lacefairy on http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/linkovz-EN.html Even with this sloppy attitude it is hard to stay up to date. So bobbin lace links not yet on http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/extlinks.html are welcome, like the new

Re: [lace] When does a book become rare?

I'd agree - if a book is still in print, you can order it from any bookshop, so I don't think the seller can describe it as rare. Jean Nathan wrote: So that will apply also to every book on weaving, embroidery, tennis, horse riding, and any other hobby, but it doesn't make them rare, especially

[lace] Working hands-up

I'm thinking of trying to work hands-up, either by making a pillow from a pool noodle, or buying a bolster pillow from the Honiton Lace shop. (I may be visiting Honiton in a couple of weeks). 'But I'm still a bit confused as to how you actually do this. I'm vaguely aware that if you work

[lace] Greek Lace book

I have seen a beautiful book about Greek Lace at the OIDFA congress in Prague. It is a big book, cost 90 Euro, beautiful pictures. I was very tempted to buy it but it was far too heavy. She is ready to mail. She doesn't accept plastic but has an arrangement where it could be done. Anyway the

Re: [lace] Working hands-up

Hello Annette, I think you are asking for the *german way* of lacemaking: hanging bobbins and holding them in the palm of your hands. So I try to give an answer from here. I am used to work on flat and on bolster pillows. Annette Gill schrieb: I'm thinking of trying to work hands-up, either by

I think the story is by Diana Stevens and is on her tatting site. She wrote it in the last couple of years. Maybe this will jog some tatter's memory. Anne in Austin TX -- Original Message -- From: Helen Bell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [lace] RE: Tina, The Lacemaker. Date:

[lace] Bootees and ducks

A couple of months ago Alice Howell recommended the bootees from Lapsia Nyplaten (Children in Bobbin Lace), p64, by Eva Lisa Kortelahti, for a baby card. I sent the card when the baby was born four weeks ago, but I've only just got round to doing a web page with it on, together with a T shirt for

[lace] Lace pictures

Great pictures of your lace, Malvary. I especially love the trillium - great design, and pretty colours. Thanks, Jean, for the information about the embroidered cards. Mine are priceless, though!! Grandad sent them to my Mother, and her sisters, so no collector could find enough money to buy

Hope somebody remembered to tell you never to leave the plastic bobbins in the car in summer.Saw one once which had melted to the shape of the cookie pillow and also had the markings of the thread on the eck - not a pretty picture :-( Thanks Shirley, bobbins melting, oops. I
