[lace] UK Lace 140
I received my Lace #140 a couple of days ago, Shirley T. Usually it is delivered by the normal Postie into the letter box, but this time it came by the parcel van . It is in the usual plastic envelope, not different to any other posting of it,. - so why it got the special treatment I do not know!!! Anyway it arrived - that is the important thing!!! I must clear up something though - The Janice Blair wonderful winning Tap design is on the cover of the IOLI Bulletin, and another wonderfully inventive piece from Norma Reay is on the cover of UK Lace 140. I got the impression that these 2 pieces of lace were getting muddled up. Having had the privilege of seeing Janice's piece for real, and in the flesh so to speak, I can tell you it is awesome!!

I haven't had my copy of Lace either. I even looked back at my cheque book last night to make sure I paid my subscription! It's a bit frustrating to read others comments about it when I can't see it. But it'll be a treat when it comes, I always look forward to it coming and always enjoy reading it.

Re: [lace] UK Lace #140
My cousin informed me that Pat Milne was the designer of the lace edgings made for the jabot cuffs for the Australian Parliament. I just don't understand why the author of the article couldn't have given Pat the credit mentioned her name. I was also informed that: The Canberra Lacemakers are small group that just meet for their own interest in lacemaking and they aren't into websites etc. I doubt there will be anything in Australian Lace as they aren't affiliated with the ALG. Even if the group is independent of the Australian Lace Guild, personally I think that they could share the end results of any major projects with other lacemakers in Australia, thus providing inspiration for other groups. I was wondering if it is possible for lacemakers to see the lace jabots cuffs when visiting Parliament House? It would be great if they were on display when not being worn. I've been searching for references to the lace jabot for the Parliament House if I find anything I'll send the url to the list.

I can now see what everyone is talking about. My copy of Lace arrived this morning. It was mailed by Air Mail on 30th September. I wonder where it has been. I hope that it visited some nice places on its way to me.

Re: [lace] UK Lace 140
Have other Lace guild members in the UK received their copies yet? I'm pretty sure I haven't had mine - normally arrives right at the end of the month it's dated (this will be the October issue), so I suppose it could still be in the post...

Congratulations to all the winners who came up with some innovative ideas. I was surprised to also read the article about the Canberra Lacemaker's Association celebrating 30 years of existence on page 12. I was a participant of that group for a few years when DH I lived there in the early 1980's. Sadly I found the article a little disappointing in that not a single member's name is mentioned. My cousin Jenny Rees, whose wattle flower design was used to design 2 sets of jabot cuffs for use at the Australian Parliament , is only refered to as a local lacemaker no photos of the jabot cuffs are included. I googled the group's name couldn't find a website at all. I'm hoping that there will be a more informative article with photos in a future issue of 'Australian Lace'. I might even have to search through old issues. I was a newsletter editor for the New England Lace Group for 6 years, I always made sure that names were included spelt correctly in any article that I published. But whenever I receive the Australian Lace there are articles written where the lacemakers are only referred to by their first names. I feel that I have to ask Why do they do this? I can understand the need for privacy, but these lace magazines should be regarded as historical documents therefore include as much information as possible. What do other lacemakers think? I'll step down from my soapbox now. Pene in Tartu, Estonia - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

I can understand the need for privacy, but these lace magazines should be regarded as historical documents therefore include as much information as possible. What do other lacemakers think? I haven't had mine yet - but (being one of the proof readers) did read it cover to cover at the beginning of September! Articles are printed as they are received - the editor, although having the right to edit articles, will not have taken names out, and the latest instruction from the Exec is that wording shouldn't be changed (in cases where the grammar isn't quite right, or something that could be worded better), so if the names are not in the magazine then it is because whoever wrote the article didn't include them. It may be that the author wasn't sure of the names and didn't want to upset anyone by getting them wrong - or by missing anyone out. Where spellings of names are concerned, when they are included, we do our best at proof stage to make sure that those errors we are aware of are put right - but if is someone not known from another part of the world reliance is put on the author of the article getting the spelling right in the first place. If mistakes are spotted and notified, then the editor does put an apology and correction in the next issue. Unlike the magazines that you buy from newsagents, who have a team of journalists writing articles, Lace (and probably many of the other guild magazines/newsletters) is reliant on members writing and contributing (exclusive*) articles and patterns - without these contributions the magazines wouldn't exist. It is also the responsibility of the author/contributor to obtain copyright clearance. The lack of photographs and illustrations is probably due to the contributor not having any - or not submitting any - and it is often very difficult to obtain permission to submit a newspaper photograph for publication in another magazine, even if that magazine is in another country! Copyright is something that is taken very seriously as no guild wishes to face an expensive prosecution. *The rule where Lace is concerned is that no article should be submitted that has been submitted to another publication in the preceding ten years (which also means not sending the same article to two or three different guilds/societies at the same time, as some people do!). -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Mine has not arrived yet, - so that is something to loo out for this week. I agree with you Pene regarding naming lacemakers. I have learned something from your letter, though - Daughter, Helen, and I got in to see the lace made for Sergeant at Arms in the Federal Parliament - in 1989, I think. What a kerfuffle that was , as it was guarded well, and they were not happy, really, to take us into the back offices to show it to us. (the place is like a Rabbit Warren, and a security guard had to be found to take us and bring us out again!!) I did not know that it was Jenny Rees, your cousin, that designed the lace. Well done to Jenny. Her work and designs are beautiful.
