Haha!! Agnes and I try that every time we go on the lace course run
by Christine Springett I think our pillows don't talk to each
other because they've never even produced as much as a pincushion.

Dear Lacefriends,
being unsure if it is allowed to write about a new book I will only say the
book is worth to buy it. Those who could understand German will find more in

Hello! Thank you Vibeke for sending info about AJR. I just wanted to send an
atta girl let her know she made quite an impression on my friend. Even
though Betty has arthritis is no longer able to make lace, she spoke
glowingly of her former teacher. She passed along AJR's business card
I'm not sure if it's allowed either, but no-one complained when I posted
about Mariña Regueiro's new Hinojosa book last week, so tell us a bit more,
please. I am sure that information about new books is as essential as
knowing about new threads or new lace days.

Hi All,
I appreciate hearing about new and old books. I do buy from time to time
and find the book reviews from lacemakers very helpful.
The books are very important to making lace. One of the best tools we have
here in the U.S. of A. where the guilds are spread so far apart.
My thanks to
What's the problem with mentioning a book on Arachne if it's lace-related?
I am very far behind on my list emails right now because I am busy
with Passover preparations. If someone has a question or needs
clarification, please write to me directly and I will usually answer
within 24 hours.

If you look to later emails, you will see that she provided the list in the
body of her next email. Good list, with a good number of suppliers, with their
towns. Came out a bit garbled, but it is actually a chart, with each line
numbered. I cut and pasted the whole thing into my word
From my being on the list since July 1995, there is nothing at all to
stop anyone posting anything that is lace related on lace and anything
else - within reason - on lace chat. So reviews of lace books are
allowed on lace, and often helpful to those who have no chance of
seeing them before
For my money the best new lace book in recent months (years) is Jane Atkinson's
'Contemporary Lace for You'. I even paid postage to get it before Lace Guild
Convention as I wasn't sure if it would be available there. It was - along
with Jane and some of the lace from the book.

Thank you Ilske for alerting us to Martina's newest book. I wanted to

There were some little videos, too, at the google search
Dear All,
I think that this summs up everything that is wonderful about Arachne. I've
been off line for a couple days but have come back to masses of topics and
chat that I have been looking forward to reading.
I joined Arachne very, very early in it's history and although I have changed
I'Ll send a report about the book tomorrow

Hello lacemakers,
The Danish royal twins were christened today and I was curious to see what
they were wearing,
They both have lace trimmed gowns and lace bonnets,

A couple more points:

You're welcome! I'm happy to help. I can't even recall when I joined
Arachne but I think it was when my son was a baby because I used
disposable diapers as the skirt for my first home-made lace pillow.

within a month.)

P.S. My son is almost 18, so I've probably been on the list for about
16 or 17 years.

to trim your posts! Try not to have multiple footers at the bottom.

IIRC someone, and it might have been you, made bobbins from a paste of
challah. Your post about the diaper 'skirt' reminded me!

Yes - scary! (Especially the ladies in those unwieldy dresses.) It
gives me a new appreciation for the Highway Code.
And I notice how many people are staring at the camera, whereas nowadays
people often seem to be pretending it's not there, (perhaps learned from
cinema films), or talk

Very interesting film. On my screen at the end of the film when Youtube shows
other similar films was the same film on half a screen with a film of the same
street taken a few days after the earthquake and fire, side by side. It was a
very different looking city.
