Re: [lace] Christmas Card Exchange
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 them out! They have some interesting techniques in them.

Re: [lace] Christmas card exchange
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 to accompany each item. I keep preaching to go to our archives. In this case, you can narrow the search by adding the name of Jenny Brandis to Christmas Card Exchange and narrow the search from 400+ entries to 40+ entries. (Jenny - Australian - has worked very hard to bring all the submissions to us in wonderful color, Janet - U.K. and Sallie U.S. have been organizing the exchanges in recent years. This is a happy example of the international nature of Arachne.) Go to: _Http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html) Search: Christmas Card Exchange, Jenny Brandis Unfortunately, our server has never been re-programmed to put the correspondence in date order, but you will find Jenny's memos announcing the new entries (by year) to the site she maintains. Sorry, but there are many things to do after attending a 2-day Needlework Conference in Delaware sponsored by a major U.S. museum. **A member of Arachne found me in the crowded book shop (where else?)!** Drove, total, over 500 miles yesterday, and the same 3 days earlier on the crowded highways that run from Maine to Florida along the Eastern seaboard. It's up to you to do the searching... or maybe our busy Jenny will chime in.

Re: [lace] Christmas Card Exchange
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 going on. As if this were not enough, our postal workers have been on strike for 10 weeks now and it does not look as though any settlement will be reached soon. I dont think there will be any Christmas post in South Africa this year. I don;t actually remember if I put my name on the list but if I did I think you had better remove it. I hope that by next Christmas my life will have settled down again. I am so grateful for my lacemaking friends who are helping me to get through this difficult time. Seasons Greetings to all Arachneans. From Janis Savage in Honeydew South Africa where we are desperately waiting for the first rain of the season.

Re: [lace] Christmas card exchange
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 when I emailed the scan to Jenny, that the piece I made was from Eve Morton's 2007 Christmas decoration collection.

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.

I also want to say that if I offended or embarrassed anyone by posting the list of names of the lacemakers who had sent me scans, I certainly want to apologize.
