Devon,
Your talk on the Robber Barons sounds very interesting? How about planning a
holiday to Australia and while your hear give us this talk (LOL)? In the

Perhaps the book that Sheila is referring to is The Robber Barons by Matthew
Josephson. I was already familiar with the term, as perhaps people in the US
are to a greater extent than people outside of the Robber Barons' stamping

Dear Spiders,
I will make a short tripp to the UK and will be happy to have some tipps
what to do lace-related.
I will arrive in London the 18th of October early in the afternoon, I
will leave for Christchurch the following evening to visit my daughters
new home and leave 21th of October for my

I think the fineness of linen
thread was more likely the result of careful hand-raising,
hand-processing, and hand-spinning, and climate conditions, than it was
the result of having some special variety of flax.
Again, my 2 cents.
At the 1999 IOLI convention, one of my favorite events was a presentation
by the the Lares (no other name given in the official program we
received) on The Story of Flax. They talked about and demonstrated every
step in the process of linen production from the sewing of the seeds (when,

Hi All,
I have to say that I had the pleasure of sitting at Devon's table at the
conservation lunch on the Tuesday of the IOLI Convention, along with the
2 PieceWork Editors, and I encouraged Devon to write it up for
PieceWork, since it's a fascinating part of lace history. (Devon - I

I have my class here at the moment and we were talking about IOLI Convention
for next year.
Some of them are considering joining IOLI with a view to participating, but a
question has just come up - if you want to go for one day, and not take a

Yess, Anne M., Devon's talk and slide show was wonderful.She is a most
entertaining speaker, with a vast knowledge.
I was enthralled.

this is not an advertisement, so don't take it that way. i was

Doesn't IOLI have a Grant Committee that could fund this? I think it would be

As far as Iknow, the Met doesn't sell slides - you have to make your
