RE: [lace] "Antique Indian Plains Lace bobbins"

Here's a Tiny URL to Brian's link, which gets split into two lines by Arachne and won't work that way: http://tinyurl.com/h8tj3fc There was an article in Piecework fairly recently about lacemaking being taught to Native Americans in the past, but I can't lay my hands on my copy at the moment.

[lace] "Antique Indian Plains Lace bobbins"

I found a description on eBay of what to me are Cleary two English lace bobbins. There is a very large price attached to the article. I have challenged the seller, but perhaps some of our American members can tell me if the Colonial missionaries taught lace to the Plains Indians? I might have

Re: [lace] Christmas Lace Star finished

Yes, I wanted to make the wise men have richer looking clothes - hence the purple, and gold in them. The Virgin Mary is often depicted with blue and rose garments - sometimes white, but I was trying also to get a balanced effect in the piece. I also used some slubby silk threads in the

A while back I saw a lace comet with a Christmas scene in it on Facebook, and knew I wanted to make it. I finally started it in September and didn’t manage to get it finished before western Christmas (12/25) but have finished it before Orthodox Christmas ! I still have to mount it in its

Oh my It is some months since I've had a chance to check out our Flicker pages - what a lot of exquisite lace I'm finding, such talented lacemakers. BTW I had no problem accessing the page by clicking on the 'flicker' information at the end of this message. Cheers, Shirley T. -

I checked one of Joseph's posts and it's not sending any attachment. The link at the end of the post of his that I checked was sent as a bare link. Is it possible that your mailreader is previewing the link for you? Amanda in Philly, PA, US On Mon, Jan 02, 2017 at 11:06:42PM +, Jane

Just to clarify, I'm thinking it's the link that's causing it in the same way that if you include a hyperlink in a post on Facebook it brings up a preview page of the website. I think it is only with Joseph's posts, but I'm intrigued as to how it gets through the normal stripping of attachments

Joseph (and anyone else interested) If you want to check what was written in the handbook (it's a bit dated now, even though I think I updated some of the info re long gone websites when I posted it) you should be able to find it in the Archives (search for posts with my name and handbook).

Welcome, Joseph. I don’t think we have many rules – being polite and courteous is probably the main one (and you are that!) and there are some restrictions on advertising sales of items if one owns a lacemaking business. Also it is important to trim the emails as some people receive the

Hi Arachnids What a fascinating discussion about pincushions. However a comment. I am allergic to lanolin, and I am not the only one. If you use sheep's’ wool as the filling, unless ALL the lanolin has been removed from the wool please put a label on the pincushion that it contains sheep’s
