[lace] Reposting Jeri's email on Levey

Spiders, forgive me for reposting. But, I did not get the original Jeri post about Santina Levey and asked her for it. I wouldn’t have known about it if Noelene hadn’t referenced it. Thanks, Noelene. I think that for the most part my gmail gets through. I am totally uncertain about how many

Dear Arachnids I met Santina several times, she was a lovely and generous lady. She helped me when I was writing my Bucks books by offering to date the samples I was studying. Some of the replies she gave to comments I made about some that puzzled me, and her suspicion that there were other dates

It is strange that I get Devon's email to the list but not Jeri's. I don't understand why some aol posts work and others don't. They don't even arrive in the spam box, but are just completely missing. With the ease of getting a gmail address these days, I wonder if that would help you both

Hello Devon and everyone Jeri's e-mails do show at Lace - The Mail Archive https://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/ and probably always via the lace-digest. So many of us receive the reflected list (individual messages) that I must say, agreeing with Sue, a gmail address is better for tech.

I have to agree with Nancy on this. I was shocked to see the unhappiness rise up so suddenly and wonder if it might have been better if it had been resolved privately between those upset by it? Rumblings across the list are disruptive to the usual kindness and helpfulness I usually see. While

Yes they do appear in the archive, but if I don't receive the original message from Jeri I don't know one has been sent, so I don't know to go to the archive to look for it! When someone replies to Jeri online, then I know to go to the archives. A frustrating necessity! Sue

Good question. Might it be a green intersection (half stitch), little hatch mark for another twist, then another green intersection (halfstitch)? If there's no pin in the center of all that, it would pull up into a turning stitch, so the diagram would be right for the thread movements. Nancy
