Re: [lace] looking for pattern
Hi Marianne, I went through my books, including Anne Collier's book, and did not see a pattern for an Angel. However, in Collier's book, the costumes are period costumes, and have capes and collars, etc, which might seem somewhat angelic if you weren't sure what you were looking at. Likewise, the other Needle Lace books and miniature lace books that I looked through did not have an angel either. Perhaps you were working from a special pattern that was sold individually by the designer? I have a pattern like this (in bobbin lace) that is meant to be completed with a painted wooden head and pipe-cleaner body. Clay Good luck on your search!

RE: [lace] looking for pattern
Hmmm, makes me wonder where I got the pattern. It definitely looks like wings with the design, though I had not yet outlined them, but I had started on the skirt, and there are beads added near the hem. But since it doesn't seem to be in any of the books, I am going to have to do some more searching. I do have a few guild magazines and newsletters from when I belonged to the lace guild in another town back in the early 90's, and if I don't find it in there, I'll have to go through my many years of Anna magazine.

Re: [lace] looking for pattern
Lace in Miniature by Ann Collier is a book of patterns for dressing dolls. At a quick glance I didn't see either angels or butterflies in it, but I am tired after two days of stitching with Jan Beanery and Jean Littlejohn (not making lace though) Sue suebabbs...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: Marianne Gallant - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Looking for pattern information
I have a pricking of a pattern by Riet de Vries dated 1991. It is an imaginary face done in what looks to me like Russian techniques, though I could be wrong about that. I seem to have scribbled a few notes in French on the back of the pricking, but otherwise I have no idea where I got it. It measures about 9/24cm square and is delightfully ornate. It is probably something from one of the lace magazines I subscribed to at that time or later, but that's just a guess. If anyone has an idea of where I might have gotten it I would really appreciate the information, as I would like to have a few clues as to work it. I can easily send a picture of it if contacted privately. Thanks so much. Tess ( tess1...@aol.com) in Maine.

Re: [lace] looking for pattern
Does anyone have a copy of Flight of Eagles by Anny Nobens Slegers that they might be interested in selling? Please contact me privately. Thank you, Charlotte Moore Anna Binnie l...@binnie.id.au wrote: Never ever through anything out. Firstly give or sell them to other lacemakers in your area. Many lace guilds or groups have a mechanism to recycling old magazines / books etc to newer members be it a sign at a lace day saying 'free to a good home' or selling them for a small cost and using the money for library books. Secondly many OP shops will accept them and sell them on to interested parties. my knitting group always goes there for extra knitting needles and old knitting patterns. Thirdly donate them to a local school or church group for their annual fair, most have a secondhand or preloved table with books and other bits and pieces. I once bought a huge selection of tatting patterns at a charity fair (these were taken from magazines and on the surface did not look good but the patterns were lovely). Forthly offer to send out a list of what you have (ie we contact you privately) and if we want them then we can pay you the postage for your magazines. Finally there is ebay Anna who has just returned from a long weekend away in Canberra.

There are so many new ideas around that these magazines are just passe.

[lace] Looking for pattern - Belgian?
The pattern I asked about yesterday seems to be Belgian and designed by Annemarie Verbeke-Billiet. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2365535230048870129tQrFqf Maybe it was published in a Kant magazine? I would be very grateful for any information how to get it.

Re: [lace] Looking for pattern - Belgian?
Hello Ann-Marie I have an issue of Kant with a pattern similar to the one you are looking for, shown on the cover of Kant, June 2010, No. 2. It is an edging for a round mat, with the tulip motifs, designed by Anne-Marie Verbeke-Billiet, 2008. They also have it illustrated as a fan. Does this help?

Re: [lace] looking for pattern...
Clay, I looked up/at 'A Snowy Spring Day in My Garden'. I don't know if there is a published pattern of it (if someone has one I would like a copy). I have a friend who is doing a similar piece called 'A Riverside' by Grace Jones. She has had the pattern for years (since The Lacemaker was is Edmonds, WA.) She did tell me that she recently saw the pattern again at a class we took with Sally Schoenfield at the Pacific NW Lace Conference. The pattern is quite difficult and the diagram seems to have some mistakes. 'Riverside' has Cattails, Kingfishers, and Irises in it but the over all look/feel is quite similar. 'Riverside' is a handkerchief pattern. I don't know if this will help you but may give you another alternative.
