Yes,I think it would be a blessing to anybody who is into point ground; and I have thanked K. Blum in my heart more times than I can say. But...ridiculous to tell... I don't have her address!

Re: [lace] Re: Designing in PG
Thank you Robin and Tamara, You have given me some great pointers! I do own the OIDFA Pt. Ground book and will begin studying it. I thought I owned Nottingham's Tech of Bucks but am not locating it this morning. I do have a couple of other Bucks books plus Tonder ones. Thanks again, now to find the time. Lorri Unless you're trying to stay within the parameters of a particular version of PG (Tonder, Beveren, Bucks, etc), there are no rules; you make your own :) I agree with T that you can pick and choose PG parameters if you're designing your own PG (as opposed to designing BUcks or designing Tonder, etc.). Elwynn Kenn (I think that's the spelling) put out three books on Australian Point Ground that are her PG patterns. She was consistent in her rules, but didn't necessarily stick doggedly to the rules of any one existing PG tradition. If you call your pattern Bucks, you should stick to the Bucks rules, but if you call it Point Ground, you can make your own. That said, I think you might benefit from the OIDFA-published Study of Point Grounds. There was a committee that looked at all the PG traditions and compared them. The book is a table--each column is a PG style. Each row is a feature. I don't have it with me, but it would be something like: twists before the gimp: Bucks=2, Tonder=1, Rauma=2, XXX=3, YYY=varies. In other words, Bucks has 2 twists before the gimp, Tonder has 1, Finnish has 2, etc. ***N.B. I made up the numbers to illustrate the point!*** - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] lace flower
I don't think it was any of those flowers we were discussing - I have a vague recollection of looking at that book at the time to see if it was the required pattern. I see the winning bid was 21 GBP - I paid 2.75 GBP for it (new) about 20 years ago. Inflation!

Re: [lace] lace flower
The high bidder was our friend Laurie Waters, which tells me that this book is a significant book historically. Sometimes the older books are still the best, and sometimes they're desirable because they were historically significant. I'm guessing the latter in this case. (I sure would like to see Laurie's library!! And Jeri Ames' as well!! Those must be two AMAZING collections!!)

I wonder how so, unless one tries to keep track of Jusai Fukuyama's
development as a designer. The designs - mostly Torchon - are pleasant,
but not particularly inspiring. She does use colour which, in '82, when
the booklet was published might have been rare (I wouldn't know, having
started in '89) but not unknown I think, especially since most of the
designs use a single colour - just not white (4 bookmarks and 6
pendants use 2 colours)

Inflation indeed :) I got my copy 5-10 yrs ago - can't remember when or
where, possibly IOLI Convention in Bethesda - but it is also brand new
(though, by then, the front of the spine was slightly scuffed), and it
still bears a sticker - $10. It has 90 pages (smaller than a standard
typing paper sheet) of which the first 58 are slick and in colour, and
the remaining 32 are coarser, in bw. The pages are glued into the -
paper - cover which means that it won't stay open (to copy the
prickings or to follow the - rather peculiar - diagrams and
explanations) and, if you force it, you risk it falling apart
altogether.
All in all, it looks more like a - very nice - magazine than a book to
me; something to flip through at a doctor's office :) I got it because
I make it a practice to buy every lace related publication I feel I can
afford at the moment - I need a lot of visual stimulation to continue
designing, and also to avoid inadvertent repetition of something that
had been done already. But $37 before shipping? I don't think so.
The original price, BTW, is 24Franks. Does anyone in France remember
what it was worth then ('82)?

When I was in high school, my mother worked at Wabash Valley Sanitarium. From Lafayette out to the hospital was a very nice drive: you had the Wabash on your right, and all the homes and businesses on the left had a lot of landscaping between themselves and the road, because they wanted to be well up the hill. When Mom took the job, she understood that whenever the spring was rainier than usual, she would pack a bag, a National Guard truck would take her to work, and she would stay there until the water went down again. One summer I took a job as receptionist and went to work with her. On the way to work -- it couldn't be. But as the days went by, it became plain that it *was*: somebody was building a house on the *right* side of the road. That's right, he was building a house *in* the river -- several feet lower than the road. The following spring, he got his carpet wet. So he jacked up the house and put *one* more round of concrete blocks on his foundation. Time was, people who built houses in rivers and lakes built them on *stilts*. - Rebuilding from tornadoes is far from regular. Even in Tornado Alley, getting burned out is much more common. On the other hand, when we used to go to New York, Dave and I sometimes stopped at a motel where I could walk to a beach on Lake Erie. On the beaches of Lake Erie, storms that blow or wash away buildings are, if not exactly regular, not too surprising. As I looked around, I noticed that every last beach house that wasn't very, very cheap had wheels under it. -- Joy Beeson http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ http://home.earthlink.net/~dbeeson594/ROUGHSEW/ROUGH.HTM http://home.earthlink.net/~beeson_n3f/ http://www.timeswrsw.com/craig/cam/ (local weather) west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Kite flying
Can't remember ever seeing this one before and it's wonderful (IMO) g From: R.P. A husband in his back yard is trying to fly a kite. He throws the kite up in the air, the wind catches it for a few seconds, then it comes crashing back down to earth. He tries this a few more times with no success. All the while, his wife is watching from the kitchen window, muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything. She opens the window and yells to her husband. You need a piece of tail. The man turns with a confused look on his face and says, Make up your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Fwd: The Concert
OK... As a hard-core atheist, I disapprove of the following; lots of us muddle through, all by ourselves. And I like even less the kind of made-up *and* schmaltzy (feel-good and a bit oily) story this one is. Yet... The vestige of the romantic in me does soften inside a bit because of the *little grain* of truth beyond the story... Even if we're not ignorant innocents like the child, we all need to keep playing, willy nilly. Or quit... And, of course, Ignacy Paderewski was Polish, which made the story irresistible :) From: D.C. When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing. Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star. At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, Don't quit.Keep playing. Then, leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child, and he added a running obbligato. Together, the old master and the young novice transformed what could have been a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was so mesmerized that they couldn't recall what else the great master played. Only the classic, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Perhaps that's the way it is with God. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't always graceful flowing music. However, with the hand of the Master, our life's work can truly be beautiful. The next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You may hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, Don't quit. Keep playing. May you feel His arms around you and know that His hands are there, helping you turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces. Remember, God doesn't seem to call the equipped, rather, He equips the 'called.' Life is more accurately measured by the lives you touch than by the things you acquire. So touch someone by passing this little message along. May God bless you and be with you always! and remember, Don't quit.
