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!

so however we can make this a bit easier for her, it is greatly
appreciated.  also good to hear that the bookmarks are winging their way
around the globe.

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.

Hi everyone

I received my bookmark from Sue T today - a very pretty, delicate
torchon pattern in white thread mounted on a red background.

I've not finished the bookmark I'm making for the exchange yet, so I'd
better make the most of the wet weekend the forecasters are promising us...

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

 Yes well done nicely shown and also what a lovely assortment of lace from
all the participants and received by their partners.  It is always a
surprise and a pleasure to see whatever one finds and achieves.

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.

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
