I love Brigitte Bellon's christmas lace books, like Allerlei Geklöppelter
Christbaum-schmuck, Geklöppelter Weihnachtsschmuck, or Neue Weihnachts-
Klöppelmuster. As you might guess, the instructions are in German, but
I find the detailed pictures, patterns and a bit of Googling sufficient
to work
Another solution is to go to look at past submissions which have been kept
for members of Arachne. The leaders of the exchanges have urged
participants to identify the original sources (designers), and they have (in
recent
years) also asked for prickings or instructions to put on the site
Christine Springett has a book called Christmas Collection that has several
Torchon patterns that I like a lot. They are worked on bangles and work up
pretty quickly. They look great with glittery thread.

Jeanette,
We are so pleased your card actually arrived from Lin. She was concerned about
it's arrival and know she is very happy today knowing it arrived safely.
Thank you for not opting out. Know this is a very nice ending to your postal
strike. We hope you will join in again.

Hello Janet and Sallie
I intended to join the Christmas Card exchange this year but life has
thrown rather a lot of curved balls at me this year.
My DH suddenly passed away at the beginning of July and I did not
realise what a lot of legal problems I would have to deal with and they
are still
The link to email Janet for the Christmas Card exchange 2013 did not appear
correctly in the email I received - it ran Sallie's name into the end of it
without a space, and when I clicked on it to put my name down, the email
bounced back.
The correct address should be jannettheak...@hotmail.com.
What is involved in these card exchanges? Do you make a piece of lace or find a
card with a picture of lace on it? And what about the postcard swaps?

Hi Amber,
today I received your beautiful Teneriffe Lace Card. Thank you very much. I
really like it.
Yesterday 5 of my 6 daughters arrived with 3 partners and 2 granddaughters. So
it is quite
crowded and busy here.
Will mail in a few days, after the first visitors will have left.

This morning I received the most beautiful lace snowflake card from
Kathy Hensel. My husband's reaction was Can we frame that? It will
definitely take pride of place, with last year's lovely card, on my
mantlepiece this Christmas.
I forgot to say, both when I sent a card to Kathy and when
That's bad. I hope you weren't hurt too badly.

From very snowy,
THANK you EVERYONE!! Bev and Barbara - I know you've been focused on this
project for months and it shows!! GREAT job, ladies!
And all the lacemakers should be SO proud!! I really can't tell which were
made by beginners - isn't that a nice thing!!
I was maxed out with other projects this
Bowing to Bev's request, I will wait to get the go-ahead from her before
posting the URL for the Christmas Card Exchange web site. This means that,
although it won't be posted before 12/15, it might be significantly later.
Bev will let me know when she thinks the time is right.

Hi Lacemakers
Are we as lacemakers losing the meaning of Christmas as a time for sharing,
we are all of differing standards with our lacemaking and I for one am just
happy to have been thought of by a lacemaker somewhere else in this large
world of ours. I would be happy with what ever is
Hi Barbara,
I, too, think it will be lovely to see the Exchange gifts.
Rather than set up a new page, may I suggest the Arachne Webshots site and
set up a collection in there specifically for these photos (as opposed to
within each individual's collection). We all have the URL for that site.
Hello Barbara
What a lovely idea, thank you for offering to do this.
I look forward to seeing all the pictures

Greetings Barbara and lace list
So--here's my offer: email me...with your name and
location and the name and location of the person who sent the lace to
you.
This is a lovely idea, Barbara. We did have a card exchange last year, and
the person who organized it had also put up images at her
