[lace] Lacemakers in Qatar

[Tregellas Family]

Afternoon,

I have a student moving to Qatar for a few years and she's just started 
bobbin lace.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of any lace groups/teachers 
in Qatar that I could put her in contact with please?

Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  Adelaide, South Australia where its actually a lovely 
spring day today but rain forecast for the rest of the week.  We're not 
complaining, we need all we can get after almost six months of dry weather.

Re: [lace] So sorry

[Tregellas Family]

Evening All,

That is a shock  -  Jacqui has been part of our lacemaking lives for a 
very long time.  Please pass on my condolences to Eric.  He and Jacqui 
used to import our aluminium bobbins for sale in the UK.

Vale Jacqui.

Regards,
Shirley T.  -  cold in Adelaide at the moment but we don't mind the rain.

Re: [lace] Spam emails

[Tregellas Family]

Happy memories indeed Liz.  I've never been to a Convention overseas but 
relish my memories of any lace convention I've been to in Australia.

I believe next year, 2020, will be the 25th anniversary of Arachne on 
the internet!!  Wow, that's a long time for group on the web. Wonder how 
many 'first timers' are still with us.  I joined in 1996.

Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  Adelaide, South Australia, where we desperately need rain.

Re: [lace] Cameras [was World Lace Congress of 2018 in Brugge, Belgium]

[Tregellas Family]

Hi Nancy,

Well, taking photographs might deplete one's memory bank but I have to 
say that family photos taken, before digital cameras were even thought 
of, helped my Mum with her memory as she entered the dementia world.  
She would sit for a few hours talking and remembering her life with a 
shoebox full of family and holiday photos in her lap.  A cherished 
memory of my Mum who passed away in 2006, as I learned lots about my 
family that I didn't know!

Cheers,
Shirley T.

Re: [lace] "Hookie" bobbins

Good morning ladies,

Thank you Sumac for remembering us for hookie aluminium bobbins and yes, 
we are still in business and have some stock of these bobbins.

Nancy, if you e-mail me with your requirements I can get back to you 
with postage charges.
The catalogue on the lacegumnuts site you quoted is dated 2010 but those 
prices are still current.

Re: [lace] What is best way to inventory lace books?

[Tregellas Family]

Hi Jeri,

I only catalogue my craft books so I have a very easy system that I use  
-  more time to make lace.  :-)

It's called 'Book Catalogue' - an app, the Android version on my phone 
and tablet.  It allows one to have various 'bookshelves' and sorting by 
any category  -  Torchon, Beds, Honiton, Sewing, Hardanger, etc., and 
the best part is is that you can scan the book with the camera on your 
device or search the net by typing in the ISBN number.  You then get a 
photo of the book, author, genre, date published, etc.  It is easy to 
carry around and one doesn't need a spreadsheet to read it.  I do have 
it backed up to my portable hard drive at home and use that to refer to 
my shelves when trying to find a book.  I'd be totally lost without it.

Fiction and other books are ordered in categories, then author, on the 
family bookshelves.  My DH has his own system for his electronic/radio 
library.

Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  Autumn has at last arrived with a few mm of the wet stuff 
but it stayed dry this morning for the Dawn Services (in Adelaide) 
around Australia of our ANZAC commemorative events.

Hi,

Maybe I'm a tad tired after teaching bobbin lace all day but 
. Umm, why would we want to move our wonderful list 
somewhere else?  We can always check out the wonderful lace posted to 
flicker as the address is at the bottom of each and every e-mail sent to 
Arachne.  Liz and Avital have given countless hours keeping our list in 
check and making it such a friendly place to be.

Re: [lace] Arachne Anniversary

[Tregellas Family]

I whole heartedly agree with everything Alice has said about Arachne, 
especially Liz and Avital.  I have made many friends around the globe 
through this list as my husband makes aluminium bobbins though not on 
such a large scale as he did before.

I was introduced to Arachne (after our son, who was in University at the 
time and knew all about the internet and hence managed to tell his two 
old folk what it was all about)  by a friend who joined in the first 
year, 1995.  Lorraine contacted me and said that there was a lady in 
Finland who wanted to know how to care for our aluminium bobbins.  Well 
that was a shock to both my DH and myself as we had no idea our bobbins 
had travelled so far. Apparently the lady won them in a raffle.

So, keep up the good work of the longest list on e-mail on the internet 
with regard to lacemaking in particular.  I read most days but don't 
always comment.  I particularly enjoy Jeri's research articles which are 
full of good sense especially in the archival parts.

I wonder if Tamara is still a member?  And it was nice to see David C 
mention Stormy Lee a while ago.

May we last for a long time yet.
Happy Lacemaking,
Shirley T.  -  in Adelaide, South Australia where we've had the first 
heavy rain shower since before Christmas and the ground is just so glad

Yes, I remember the shop David as it was in my local shopping centre

my visit to the UK and introduction to the craft from my Aunt.  Then we 
moved to Adelaide a couple of years later but bought my first bobbins

Re: [lace] Propose an OIDFA Work Group for S vs. Z Threads and Winding Bobbins

[Tregellas Family]

Thank you Jeri for your very informative message below.  Not being an 
embroiderer, both my Mum and sister were excellent in that area, so I 
had no need while growing up, I had no idea that a needle had a right 
and wrong side for threading.  That is one activity which always brings 
out the frustration side of me.  :-)  Now I will check the eye of the 
needles with a strong lens to make sure I'm doing this correctly, 
thereby getting rid of my frustration.  Any hints would be gratefully 
received.

I do hope you stay on Arachne as your missives are so very important to 
us all.

Happy Christmas to you all

We have decided to incorporate these small pieces in the 'cut-out' 
cards, three-fold I think they are called.  The lace can either be 
stitched or secured by other means, to the card, packed in cellophane 
envelopes and sold at our Guild trading table.  Monies raised are used 
to further our Guild in whatever way the committee feels is necessary.

My personal sample pieces are used in this same way but given as cards 
for special occasions.  One group I belong to uses these cards as a 
'get-well' card for members who have health problems.  Therefore, every 
scrap of lace has a use.

Cheers,
Shirley T.

Re: [lace] Linen Thread Storage

Hi Joseph,

As you know I live in Adelaide and we have an extremely dry climate with 
quite low humidity.  This is fatal when using linen threads in our

using linen threads during our summer months.

I've got the square & looking at the photo, I can see where the vertical pairs join, then

Hear, hear, Liz.  If it wasn't for Jeri some of us would be very naive 
about how to care for our lace as such a lot of information is in the 
heads of our talented lacemakers/collectors.  I've just ordered some

just Jeri being kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about the subject, as
she was able to give us some background about it. Fantastic.

So I won't hear a word against her. We are SO lucky to have her on the list

Re: [lace] Wire lace mini discovery

[Tregellas Family]

If one needs to cord four 'threads' (strands of wire) why not hammer a 
nail into a wooden fence post in the garden, loop the wire around the 
nail and insert the four cut ends into the chuck of a hand drill?  The 
drill can be wound very easily and with complete control.  This seems to 
work for me when DH is not around to hold the other end.

Hello All!  At the 2014 IOLI convention in Sacramento, I attended Lauran
Sundin's wire lace class.  One of the techniques she demonstrated in class
involved twisting wires together to make heavier cable.  She used a
cordless drill at low speed.  Today I wanted to combine two strands of 28 
two strands of 30 gauge wire to create a cable/gimp.  The last time I used
a power drill, the torque caused a spiral fracture to my ring finger.  To
avoid another trip to the emergency room, my husband suggested a Dremel
drill because it has variable speed control.  Unfortunately none of the
Dremel attachments allowed me to connect my wire to the drill.  That's when
I remembered my Spinster!  This is a low-tech tool that many embroiderers
use to make twisted cording for a finished edge.  Using a doubled length of
each wire, I attached the wire loop ends to the Spinster hook.  My husband
twisted together the four free ends  held them with a pair of flat blade
jewelry pliers while I reeled!
   under tension.  The resulting cable is quite lovely for my first effort
 I will use this method again.  The Spinster was easy to use/control 
adequate for my 28/30 gauge wire but does require an extra pair of hands.
Hope this is helpful to others who are working with wire.  If someone else
posted this info, sorry for the rerun.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA

Re: [lace] using multiple threads as gimp

[Tregellas Family]

Hi,

About 20 years ago when I first attempted Point Ground my tutor at the 
time, Karen Blum, taught us the multi-stranded technique of gimps.  She 
also taught us how to carry the unwanted threads to the next element via 
the gimp strands.  It is a very tidy solution to excess threads.

Hello Marianne and everyone

This is an interesting technique that Ulrike outlines. I first encountered
multiple threads as gimp when I tried Chantilly from Lia's book.
Traditional Bayeux and old Tønder also have this kind of gimp. It is handy
for pairs leaving the ground or motif with nowhere to go but join the gimp,
until they are needed again in the design.
You are right, it is also a good way to deal with stops and starts of the
gimp, so that the lace looks nicer.

Like who would ever come up with the idea of using several plies of the
fine thread for the gimp and then splitting it onto 2 bobbins (4 per
pair of gimps), so that you can easier move the gimps around to avoid
having to end and restart them for different parts.

Re: [lace] June 21 International Lace Day

[Tregellas Family]

Hi,

Okay, I'll come out of lurkdom to comment on this Jeri.

In Australia Mothers Day is always the second Sunday in May and Fathers 
Day always the first Sunday in September.  The northern hemisphere 
summer is of course our winter and definitely not conducive to making 
lace in the open, parks, etc.


We celebrate Catterns Day in November as do the rest of the lacemaking 
world so we in South Australia, an probably the rest of our country, try 
to have a lace get-together around this date. For us in South Australia 
it is usually the third Tuesday of the month when we have our meeting  
-  we enjoy friendship, games and and early Christmas party.  We don't 
usually have a meeting in December but start back again with meetings 
towards the end of January.  Thankfully we have an air conditioned venue 
so life bearable in the middle of our very hot summers.


Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  Adelaide, South Australia in the middle of winter, wet 
and chilly but never any snow in our city.

[lace-chat] Re: [lace] To our Aussie and NZ spiders

[Tregellas Family]

Dear Liz,

Thank you for your thoughts on our ANZAC day celebrations tomorrow.  
Fortunately one of the bigger services in Adelaide will be held just 
round the corner from where we live.  We will be going to the Youth 
Vigil service at 8pm tonight then attend the dawn service in the 
morning.  Sadly heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast for early 
morning tomorrow so best I find my raincoat and waterproof shoes, items 
that don't see much light of day in this fair city, the driest city, in 
the driest state of the driest continent.


Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  10mm of rain overnight and this morning.

Just a little over 20 hours from now, I and my DH will be watching the sun rise

 I suppose you thought such stores had all closed in America.  However,  one
 is still in operation about 25 miles north of my home.  It is much more
 fun than the mall's chain stores, because you'll get to know people working

Re: [lace] Heather Billington - Point Ground Lace book

[Tregellas Family]

Hi,

I have Heather Billington's book 'Floral Emblems of Australia in Point 
Ground Lace' sitting next to me so I offer a brief 'book review' on her 
excellent publication.


It consists of 65 wonderful pages, spiral bound and in colour of superb 
patterns, prickings, working diagrams and coloured images of our 
Australian State flowers. The instructions are so easy to follow with 
basic techniques illustrated at the start of the book. Each pattern has 
an overall photograph of the finished piece with a close-up for further 
study. Can't remember how much I paid for this book but definitely an 
asset to any lacemakers' library.


Cheers,
Shirley T. - Adelaide, Australia with 25C max today but we are in 
desperate need of rain.

As mentioned, a commemorative bobbin is pne option. We could e.g. ask 
Stuart
Johnson, as he does inscriptions, as does Mike Bester in South Africa 
and

probably many more.


Stuart and Mike are 2 of my favourite bobbin turners, but I think 
Mike's not making them any more.


The other is to make a lace panel, with each member doing a part of 
it


Nice idea, but who'd get the panel?? 'cos I know we'd all want it :)

I don't know if it will work for everyone, but here it is.

Subject: [lace] honiton lace

We have just watched our local news in the West Country in the UK where they
did an article on lost industries.  Todays piece was about Honiton lace and
they did a good interview piece with Pat Perryman working her lace and talking
about the Honiton lace industry in Victorias reign.  I even had enough warning
to fire up the recorder so I can watch it again.

Re: [lace] There's never enough room

[Tregellas Family]

And I was taught (way back when, with Norma Turner, Hi Norma) to 
use working cloths to support about 10 pairs at a time, stacking on top 
of each other to either side.  One can stack an awful lot of bobbins 
that way.


Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  in wintry Adelaide, South Australia but I can curl up in 
a comfy chair with my OIDFA 30th Anniversary book and dream of all the 
lace I'm going to make.  :-)







As to stacking them up - I have seen people use the base of a plastic dish -
like an ice cream tub, cut down to just about a one inch side, - on 3 sides,
and no side at all on the 4th, and the bobbins sit in the tray, and they can
be stacked one on another at the side of the working area.  It seamed to
work OK.

Regards from Liz in grey, cold, Melbourne, Oz.

Re: [lace] pillow question

[Tregellas Family]

Having made bobbin lace for the last 20 years I always return to my 
sawdust pillow for 'good' pieces of lace.  I know, they are very heavy 
to cart about but I've never had to add any more sawdust to it in all 
this time.  After finishing a piece of lace I just turn it upside down 
on a cover cloth on the floor and do a happy dance around the circle  
(keeps me fit too :-)) and voila  it's as good as new.


Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  Adelaide, South Australia, hiding in the air con with 
temps in the high 30Cs, heat wave conditions.


What do you put over to protect the pillow but allowing it be ok to put
pins
in and out?  The first one I did put a towel over the top under the cloth
cover and it hurt like crazy putting pins in, so that was no good (no idea
where that idea came from).   I think that maybe felt underneath might
bring
tufts of colour back up into the lace.

Re: [lace] single bobbin unwinding

[Tregellas Family]

One of my beginner students had this same problem and we initially 
thought that it was the bobbin itself.  On retrolacing a piece I noticed 
I had to take the thread off the bobbin and rewind.  One of those 'Aha' 
moments.  After watching me put the slip knot on we worked out that she 
had executed this holding slip knot the wrong way round.  No more 
frustration after that.


Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  enjoying a coolish day after some 40+C days at the 
beginning of the year.

If it keeps getting longer, try putting an extra hitch around the neck? It
could be due to some subtle 'un-turning' movement that is happening while
you work with it. If it does seem more loosely wound on than the it should
be, take the thread off and re-wind.

Re: [lace] bobbin holders

[Tregellas Family]

When I first learned bobbin lace (20 years ago) I was taught to use 
a working cloth underneath the bobbins for a particular element.  When 
that element was finished I just lifted a working cloth with both hands, 
keeping the bobbins flat and the cloth taught, and lifted it to the side 
of my work.  Eventually there could be half a dozen cloths stacked with 
bobbins quite neatly.  When they were needed I just lifted the next 
layer and started to work them again.


I have to admit to using the 'flats' now to move bobbins around but 
again, extra working cloths make life so much easier.


Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  Adelaide, South Australia where the cool change has 
arrived and we're hoping for some rain.  Other parts of Oz have been

Re: [lace] sitting comfortably to make lace

Hi,

I've been following all the responses on comfortable positions for 
making lace and am surprised that no one has come up with my solution.  
I use my wheeled office chair with adjustable height, angle and back 
support.  With my feet firmly planted on the ground (I suffer from short 
legs)  I can then pull my pillow stand close and don't seem to have any 
problems with my back.  My study has fantastic natural light most of the 
day and my pillow is positioned to take advantage of it.  Hope this idea 
might help others.

Hi,

I too have been with Arachne since the early days, August, 1996, 
just after the OIDFA meeting in Finland.  I lurk with occasional input 
but would like to say a big thank you to those who give freely of their 
time and knowledge to others especially Liz and Avital for their 
continual input.  It will be nice to have Tamara back with her very 
interesting input  -  we've missed you.


I didn't make the Arachne Confrence in Nottingham but will 
certainly be here in Adelaide working towards the OIDFA Conference here 
in July, 2014.  Maybe lots of Arachne members might like to join us for 
a wonderful lacey time?  :-)

Re: [lace] Monica Ferris books

[Tregellas Family]

Hi Jean,

We have a system at our monthly meetings of the Aust. Lace Guild in 
South Australia which works brilliantly.  We donate books to the trading 
table (organised by our Librarian) and we pay 50cents per book (fiction 
novels).  After reading them they are given back to the trading table 
and someone else buys them for 50cents.  If we have more than one person 
interested when the book first arrives, we sometimes write their name 
inside the book in pencil then pass the book on to the next person on 
the list.  By the time we've finished with it if nobody else needs/wants 
it the books are usually donated to the local thrift shops or old 
people's homes.  This way we recycle and also we earn money for our 
Guild which is banked into our Tutor's Fund which pays for visiting tutors.


Hope this helps with your dilemma.  I haven't read these books yet 
so I'd best go looking at our local library as they haven't turned up on 
our trading table.  Please can someone let me know the name of the first 
book?


Ta muchly,

 in Australia, and since the topic is moving right along, let me suggest:

Hi,

   I've had a reply from our past Curator about my query which Jeri 
brought to my notice and am still awaiting a reply from our present 
Curator but the reply I've already had is that the oven bags used in 
previous years - without any damage I might add to any lace stored in 
them over the last 20 years - were the crinkly type which I use 
myself.  When I receive a reply from our present Curator (who is leaving 
for overseas shortly) I will let the list know. 


Bye for now,
Shirley T.  -  just home from a radio club meeting where the hall was 
freezing!!

David:  All you have to remember is that (in English) weft rhymes with  
left, and that left and right are horizontal.
  
   It's all these little hints which make life so much easier.  Thank 
you Jeri for my new piece of knowledge today.  A comment was made today 
our Guild meeting.  The curator was talking about storing lace and that 
she'd had to buy more oven bags.  Some girls had a giggle thinking that 
she had said the wrong thing.  The  fact is that the oven bags we have 
in Australia are made by the 'Glad' company and are acid free. 


Cheers,

to about 2C.  br  but we still need more rain.

You are welcome!  Such good ideas!!!  I thought about Milanese too ;)  Would
like to see the results from anyone who tries out this design.  Please let
me know of any snags in the pattern or a better way to go about it.
Teachers are welcome to share this pattern with their beginners.

Thanks all!
   Thank you Mark for your generosity with your pattern.  It's not easy 
to design patterns for beginners so I'm grateful to add this one to my 
list. 


Regards,
Shirley T.  -  Adelaide, South Australia where winter has finally 
arrived.  Just wish the rain had come with the colder temps.  :-(

 If I remember correctly, it was called a Mimeograph machine.  Not 
pretty, but effective!

In Australia they were called by their German brand name - Gestetner. 
The result was always a mauve colour.

   I remember the Gestetner - a horrible mess if you made a typing 
error.  One had to spread a wax-like substance out of a pot, just like 
nail varnish, and wait till it dried before correcting the mistake.  The 
purple copy I remember as a Fordigraph.  The copies were made by typing 
on special carbon? paper then the sheet was attached to a drum and the 
resulting copy was always a purple colour.  The purple ink was horrible 
stuff to remove from hands or clothes.
