[lace] Bookmark exchange 2019

[Celia Mulhearn]

I’m thrilled to say that I have received two beautiful bookmarks this week, one 
from Lorri Ferguson, adapted from a Malmesbury lace pattern and the other a 
beautiful tatted dragon from Sabine Hickling both are fabulous and I will 
use them as I do others from previous exchanges. Thank you both and thank you 
Lin for organising  x x x x

[lace] Bookmark exchange 2018.

[Celia Mulhearn]

Today the postman bought me a lovely surprise, my Beautiful Bookmark from 
Jacqui Southworth. I have thanked her personally but want to thank her again 
and to thank Lin Hudren for organising again. I am a little behind with mine 
but will get it photographed and posted soon.

I am, at present packing stuff away ready for the decorators to come in which  
house seem very strange and not like home - probably because my hobbies bits 
and pieces are not scattered everywhere, but I get to put them all back when I 
come home from holiday. Then I must get on with the lace for a wedding garter 
for my daughter. The wedding is in October and my daughter is actually 
borrowing the garter I made for my sister-in-law and so it’s not a desperate 
rush, but I wanted her to have one of her own to pass on to any daughters she 
may have.
Take Care and thank you fellow Arachnids for all the posts, I love reading them 
and was  a little worried when it seemed very quiet for a while
Take care and enjoy your lacemaking

Re: [lace] Bookmark exchange,

[jviking]

Hi All, My partner in 2000 or 2001 sent me a scan of a beautiful bookmark
and she mailed the real thing.  Sadly the real one never arrived and I
didn't feel she should have to make another so I only got the scan.

After 9/11 there was an anthrax-in-the-mail scare and I hoped they would
find it when they searched the US post offices but no such luck.

Considering how many pieces of lace have made it through the mail system
losing a few is not surprising.  I remember Sulochona in India telling me
to wrap anything in plain brown paper with no fancy stamps so not one
would be tempted to steal the package.  Everything I sent her got there!

Happy lacing!  Jane in Vermont, USA where it's lovely and green outside!

[lace] Bookmark exchange,

[susan]

Yes, I do mean the bookmark exchange.   I made and sent my exchange piece of
lace on its way at the end of April and me and my swap partner waited but it
seems to have gone to mars or something and never made it to its end
destination, so in recent weeks I completed a very different type of lace
using one of Lins rpl patterns which I had been playing with for some time 
and
it went off about 3 weeks ago and I just heard from the lady that it 
arrived.

I am so pleased it made it as I was very disappointment that she didn’t
receive the original one.   Her piece to me had been here for some time and 
is

very beautiful and this is the first time in any of the swaps I have taken
part in where one had gone missing.So the one on the website never made 
it

and the new one is a colourful tulip.
I hope everyone else received their exchanges after everyones hard work.

I have received  my lovely Lace bookmark from Laura De Bruyn.  It has lots
of beautiful leaves in the pattern which you can all see and admire on Jenny’s
site.

A lovely gift to arrive today to liven up a chaotic day with decorators
here.
I have thanked Laura privately, but mine to her seems to have got lost
during the 8 weeks since it left me.   Time to call it lost and not wait
longer:-(

[lace] Bookmark Exchange 2017

[Lin Hudren]

There are still bookmarks winging their way to their destinations.  I would
appreciate hearing from you if you have not received yours yet.  The postal
system is letting us down this time around.  It would be good to know if
delays are in a specific region or just one country.  I know South Africa
has had problems for a couple of years and now it seems Australia might be
having difficulties.  If you have not received your bookmark, please let me
know and let's wait one more week to see what happens.  I make extras and
will provide you one if you are having difficulties as a "holding" bookmark
until the postal system gets their act working again and you receive your
true partner's bookmark.  Thanks for helping me with this investigation.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

I have received a most beautiful bookmark from Susan  Brooks - it is the one 
with the swans, which someone has already mentioned from its picture on the web 
site. Thank you very much, Susan, I shall treasure it! 

It obviously got delayed in the post, but I am so glad it wasn't lost!

[lace] Bookmark Exchange Web Pages

[Lin Hudren]

Wow, Jenny outdid herself once more.  this was a major task for her and she
came thru like the champ she is.  i hope everyone will take the time (a bit
more than usual) to peruse the web pages and note all the wonderful
bookmarks shared and winged over the miles this last couple of months.  we
have 106 bookmarks to enjoy and be inspired by.  Jenny does such a
wonderful job of presenting everyone's talent in the best of lights.  I do
hope you will all take the time to peruse the web pages
http://brandis.com.au/arachne/2016bookmarks/index.html


she has provided us.  please take a moment to enjoy and then let Jenny know
 (je...@brandis.com.au)


 how much you enjoyed being able to take this time and just enjoy some
relaxing time seeing what others have accomplished this year and hopefully
be inspired to participate next year.  she not only provided the book
covers of the pattern sources, but she also gave comments by the creator of
how it was worked and with what threads.  it is amazing how many provided
their own designs - so inspirational.  it is very inspiring to see what
others create.  thanks for being involved and to those who participated, i
hope all will get involved next year.  this is sharing lace and enjoying
making something special for another to enjoy 24/7.

i thank all that signed up for the exchange and hope others will plan and
think about being a participant next year.  the schedule will be spread out
much like this year so should give everyone an opportunity to enjoy the
involvement, plan and take the time to create.  i am always willing to
accommodate your preferences to the best of my ability.  just tell me and i
will work it out.  thanks again to all.  enjoy the opportunity to have eye
candy from this year's exchange.


Hugs, Lin and the Mali

Hi folks, especially you Beth,
I have just this minute opened up an envelope and a cute card with cats on,
similar to some we have owned over the years.  Inside is the prettiest
bookmark I think I have ever seen, worked in colour with lots of leaf tallies
and with the longest silkiest tail I think I have seen on a bookmark.The
only silk thread I have ever used is Gutterman silk  It is absolutely
delightful and I am going to have to put it into a plastic holder to keep it
clean and to stop me running it through my hands when they might not always be
clean.
Thank you so much.
Now looking forward to the unveiling of the website so we can all see the
delights that have gone around the world.

Hi fellow Arachnids,

My grateful thanks to Marion Goard for the lovely, variegated light blue,
Torchon bookmark. It has been beautifully made and was accompanied by two
postcards to give a flavour of where she lives. A lovely idea.

I have sent a personal thank you to Marion as well as an apology for the fact
that my contributions will only just make the deadline. Sorry, to Laura de
Bruyn as well for being tardy, but sometimes life gets in the way of things
you enjoy doing.

Happy lacemaking to all,

Re: [lace] bookmark exchange

[sueat]

You are very welcome Beth, I really did enjoy the process this time.  I 
spent some time leafing through many patterns and allowed my own likes to 
decide what to make for you.  Making Lace is about indulging ourselves in 
creating something we think will look pretty and the other person will enjoy 
and with more time to achieve it all I didn't feel under too much pressure 
which I do sometimes.
I hope you will enjoy seeing it marking your place in a reading book, is you 
get enough time to sit and read, or to keep the page of a pattern you want 
to come back to or a technique you find yourself having to revisit on 
occasion.  My exchange gift to me from last year greets me frequently 
because of where it keeps a page in my diary, I can open a number of books 
and find a bookmark tucked inside keeping a good page marked for the future.

I received my bookmark from Sue T today - a very pretty, delicate

I've not finished the bookmark I'm making for the exchange yet, so I'd

[lace] Bookmark exchange - it's arrived

[Alison Gray]

Dear Stormy

 

Thank you so much for my book mark, it is so pretty, and how did you know
that was my favourite colour? 

 

It arrived earlier this afternoon. I would have emailed earlier but I felt
guilty that my one for you was less than half done. It's now just over half
done and hopefully over the weekend I will get a bit more time and finish
it. I got off to a bad start as, having wound nearly half the bobbins, I
found that the vintage thread I'd chosen wasn't going to be enough. So that
meant a trip to our local needlecraft store to choose another thread.

 

I hope your bookmark will be winging it's way to you by the end of next
week.

 

Regards

Re: [lace] Bookmark Exchange 2016

[sueat]

I have to say that I have enjoyed this bookmark exchange more than some in 
other years, for the simple reason that the time span this year has allowed 
me to handle a couple of major issues which have occurred since it was 
announced, and even reject some lace ideas and choose others without feeling 
stressed.  I love to send lace I am happy with as a gift to someone, not to 
just send something out which I am less than content with and I am happy to 
say that time has allowed that in a more relaxed way and not in sheer panic 
that I might miss the deadline.
So thank you Lin for organising it in this way and hope it happens in a 
similar way in the future and that the others partaking are also feeling as 
contented with this arrangement.   I am looking forward to seeing all the 
different types of ideas that come out with each new exchange and wonder why 
I didn't think of that, or marvel at the different types and look in lace.
Thank you to Jenny in advance as I know you always make a great job of 
displaying our lace and that has all reminded me to make sure I scan or 
photograph my completed pieces, lol.

Keep on enjoying your lace making.

We are down to the last 4 weeks of the bookmark exchange.  If you are
saying "I should have" or "Bummer, I wish I had", send me your snail mail
address (linhud...@gmail.com) and join in the fun.  There is still plenty
of time to make a bookmark and mail it off to one who will most assuredly
love to receive it.  The exchange is meant to inspire and to enjoy and
share pleasure and inspiration.  It is a way to plan, work and gift to
another like-minded planner, creator and giver.  I eagerly await hearing
from you members of a wonderful group.
Hugs, Lin and the Mali

[lace] Bookmark Exchange Thank You

[Lin Hudren]

I would like to take a moment to say I am thankful, amazed and so pleased
at the participation in this year's bookmark exchange.  Your participation
has made this the most active exchange according to Jenny's web pages since
2006.  It just is one more example of how wonderful and sharing Arachneans
are.  It is going to be a lot of work for Jenny but she will show us once
again just how great she is.  I cannot wait to see what she does this year
(she doesn't allow me a sneak peek - boo hoo!).  Each year she goes one
step further to not only show us what has occurred but to help us learn as
well.  Please share kudos with her as you share your projects.  Thank you.



Thank you, again, for participating and I hope you will continue to do
so.  I know I have expanded my learning and been inspired with the
exchanges of the past.  Fortunately bookmarks are 24/7/365 so there are
memories all year long.  I use more than one at a time as they go into lace
books, cook books, novels and even magazines.  When I open that book or
magazine, I get a treat and remember fondly where that one originated and
can admire the awesomeness of the lacing.  Enjoy and please watch for
Jenny's web page availability announcement.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

I am thrilled with the response to participate in this bookmark exchange.
 if you did not get a response from me, please email me again.  i am
prepared to pair up partners and wish to be sure i have everyone who wants
to participate included.  if you have started your bookmark and decided you
wish to do a an additional one, just let me know in the next day or so.  i
will be sending out partnerships within the next 24 hours but i can
accommodate anyone who has been on the fence and wants to jump into the
pot.  this is not a hard formed schedule.  the lace bug is biting and it
might only have nibbled.  thank you all who have signed on to the exchange
so far.

[lace] 2016 Arachne Lace Bookmark Exchange

[Lin Hudren]

We are down to the last days for sign ups for the bookmark exchange but
don't worry if you are a day or so behind.  I will make it happen.  Just
contact me (*linhud...@gmail.com *) and it will be
worked out.  Also, if you are delayed in mailing your bookmark to your
partner, let your partner and me know so we can take the worry out of the
wonderful anticipation.  This is to be FUN not a job or chore.  I will be
sending out the exchange partner pairings in a day or so - no later than
3/20 but sooner if able.  I am always anxious to know who will be getting
my bookmark and what far away place I will be receiving mail from.  But if
you were on holiday or didn't see the announcement until the last minute -
join in anyway.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  I believe there is time
to get a bookmark made and in the mail by June 1st.



This year the schedule will go like this:

March 1-18   Sign Ups

March 20  Exchange partner assignments made and emailed out

June 1  All bookmarks should be in the mail (receipt by 7-10 days
after this)


Please send me your name, snail mailing address, email address, how many
bookmark(s) you wish to make and any geographical location(s) you prefer,
if any.  Thank you.



If this is your first time, you are going to have lots of pleasure.  If you
have been doing this for years, you know how much fun it can be.  Any type
of lace and pattern is appropriate.  Any skill level is welcome.  This is
"creative license" at its best.  Don't be shy - shine.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

[lace] 2016 Arachne Lace Bookmark Exchange

[Lin Hudren]

Hello Everyone.



Firstly, I would like to thank all those participants in the bookmark
exchange last year as it was rushed and everyone managed to make it
happen.  So, this year I am compensating by stretching it out a bit
longer.  We had an awesome turnout which just adds to the wonderfulness of
Aracheans.



This year the schedule will go like this:

March 1-18   Sign Ups

March 20  Exchange partner assignments made and emailed out

June 1  All bookmarks should be in the mail (receipt 7-10 days
after this)



Same rules apply as the previous bookmark and card exchanges:  send in
name, snail mail address, email address, how many bookmarks you wish to
make and any geographical preferences to me at *linhud...@gmail.com
*.  After making your bookmark(s) please take a
picture and email directly to Jenny Brandis (je...@brandis.com.au) who once
again is a dear heart and will be posting all on her web site and/or to me (
linhud...@gmail.com) and I will forward to her.  If you wonder if your
partner was able to send in a photo of her bookmark to you, just send a
photo upon receipt and Jenny will make sure everyone is represented
accordingly.  We will be following up to make sure we get photos of all of
them so if you think you will have a problem, just let me know.  Thanks.



Last year Jenny updated all the patterns submitted to her on the bookmark
and card exchange web pages.  If you submit your pattern to her, I am sure
she will be most happy to add that to the accumulation from over the
years.  These are much appreciated for inspiration and eye candy.  Thank
you.



Any problems, just let me know.  If you are going to be late, please let
your partner and myself know.  If you have to drop out for some reason,
please personally contact me (linhud...@gmail.com) as soon as possible so I
can ensure everyone has a partner.  Thank you.


If this is your first time or you are participating for an additional time,
you are going to have lots of fun.  Any type of lace and pattern is
appropriate.  Any skill level is welcome.  This is creative license at its
best.  Don't be shy.  This is your time to shine.

Thanks and enjoy as much as I plan to.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

I am normally a lurker, enjoying all the posts, but not knowledgeable

However I joined in the bookmark exchange with Amber Lackey as my partner.
Unfortunately the bookmark Amber posted went astray and this morning I
received a replacement bookmark from her. I wanted you all to know of her
generosity and my gratitude.

I am so pleased to announce that Jenny has wonderfully set up an awesome
web site that is a tool as well as the panorama of all the lovely lace
presentations.  I think she went an extra mile this time and does all of us
proud to have her as a member of Arachne and be so supportive.  So as she
aptly states sit back, relax and enjoy.  I am sure all of us will whether
or not we participated.  I hope it encourages all to participate next
year.



http://brandis.com.au/arachne/2015bookmarks/index.html



With the postal wars out there, your bookmark may still be in transit.
Thanks for your patience.  Please check back on the web site in a week or
so to see the missing scans/photos and often times during the year to get
inspiration.  They are so lovingly created and shared.  Jenny will add the
missing scans/photos as they arrive.  We are dealing with
vacations/holidays and scans not done in the rush to mail so recipients are
carrying the load - thank you.  But I am anxious to see what is missing
when it is added.  Thank all of you who shared in this adventure with a
purpose and new home for our lace endeavors.  Sharing lace is what keeps us
happy to be lacing.  I had a grand time and hope you did as well.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

Mistakes are beautiful.  Mistakes are part of the fun.

Re: [lace] Bookmark Exchange Web Pages

[Jeriames]

Dear Jenny and Lin,
 
A wonderful collaboration - the organization, publicity and site where  we 
can view the laces all exceed  expectations.
 
Of particular interest was the covers of books in which participants found  
their patterns.It is a nice way to show contents of the  books, for 
those who might be thinking of buying one.  And,  how appropriate to show 
bookmarks with books, since they do travel together  in our minds.
 
So much variety - bobbin, crochet, needlelace, netting, tatting.   Thanks 
to all who participated.

Re: [lace] Bookmark exchange

[J Reardon]

In today's mail I received a lovely bookmark from Lorri Ferguson in Washington 
state. The lace, a scalloped edging is beautifully done and mounted on a fabric 
ribbon. I'd not seen that before and just love it. It sturdies it up and makes 
It practically usable as a bookmark. Also included was some history about where 
the pattern came from, which I really appreciate. It being Scottish is so 
fitting, as I have a bit 'o the Scots in me.

Thanks, Lorri

Hi fellow Spiders

Today I received a lovely and very personal bookmark from my partner of this
year Joepie as well as a lovely letter explaining a little about herself.
Isn’t this a fun way to learn a little more about people we usually never
meet but who become anything from good acquaintances, fellow crafters right
through to good friends over the years.
I wont spoil the fun and tell you anything more about my bookmark, so you can
all see it and all the others being sent around the world when Jennie launches
the web link in a while, except to say I am delighted with it and will use it
often.
So many thanks Joepie.

All Exchange Partners have been assigned and emails sent out.  If you
signed up and did not receive notice of your partner, please contact me
personally (linhud...@gmail.com).  I may have typed your email address
incorrectly but I can reply to you accurately.



I found during the holidays that there is such a thing in the USA of a
global stamp which then cost $1.15.  My ornaments and bookmarks mail out
overseas using this.  Just ask for it rather than have them make you fill
out the forms and/or even weigh the envelope.  I use a card as padding
for them.  These go for one regular stamp intercontinental as well.



If you still want to participate, contact me and I will work it out.



I do hope you have fun.  Please let me know if your partner is not
responsive and remember to send photos to Jenny Brandis at
je...@brandis.com.au.  To see why we share our photos with Jenny, check
this out:  http://brandis.com.au/arachne/2012bookmarks/index.html or

[lace] bookmark exchange photos Irish crochet

[hottleco]

Hello All!  Thanks Jenny for posting the photos so we may all enjoy!  Some very 
lovely work  zippy threads to boot.  Thanks also to Joepie for sharing her 
designs--woohoo!!  Can you tell I'm a sucker for flowers?  g  As to Irish 
crochet, I recently purchased a ziploc baggie full of flower motifs  two balls 
of thread for $1 plus three size 14 hooks for another $1.  Frankly I'm 
embarrassed that I paid so little, but at least they are all coming to a good 
home  will see the light of day!  They flowers will make perfect vintage 
embellishments for a CQ block  who doesn't need a size 14 hook with cap for 
each pillow!  Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA

[lace] Bookmark Exchange

[lackam]

Evening everyone,

Well it is time to start the Bookmark Exchange. The schedule will go 
like this:


March 1-20 Sign ups.
April 1Assignments made and emailed out.
May 20  All bookmarks should be in the mail.

Same rules apply as the Christmas exchange: Send in name, snail mail 
address, and how many bookmarks you want to make.
After making your bookmark(s) please take a picture and email to either 
me or Jenny Brandis who will post the pictures on her
web site. If you do not have a digital camera or scanner you can take 
regular pictures and send them to me. I will scan them in
then forward them on to Jenny. If you are going to be late let me know 
please. If you have to drop out for some reason please
personally contact me as soon as possible so I can ensure everyone has 
a partner.


If there are any questions, just ask.

Amber
Forest, VA

[lace] Lace Bookmark Exchange

[lackam]

Hello all,

While organizing the Christmas exchange this last year I was asked 
about a book exchange by quite a few newer members who did not feel 
they were ready for the Christmas exchange. It has been several years 
since the last bookmark exchange and after consulting with Jenny 
Brandis I have decided to organize a bookmark exchange.


Sign ups will run from March 1st through the 20th.
Partner assignments will be emailed out the 1st of April. (Yes I will 
include email addresses this time.)

Mailings to partners should be no later than May 20th.

The rules will be the same as with the Christmas Exchange with pictures 
being sent to Jenny Brandis to archive on the site. Please remember to 
tell her where your pattern comes from.


I will send out a sign up notice the first of March. I hope we have 
lots of participates.


Cheers,
Amber Lackey
Forest, Va.
