President’s Message

The annual meeting in April was the biggest success I have seen. So many long standing members showed up along with a few new members. We did have trouble getting the meeting started, but once we got the ball rolling, we accomplished a great deal. We discussed demonstrations and workshops. Please keep reading the Calendar of Future Events for dates and times.

Elections were held for office of vice-president and secretary. We were very surprised to learn Amy is our vice-president and Suzanne is the secretary for the next two years. Congratulations and thank you for serving the next two years and the previous two years. The lace group appreciates all you do. We also elected Barb and Joanne to coordinate workshops and getting us wonderful teachers. So if you want to learn a certain lace or have certain teachers in mind please contact Barb or Joanne.

After the meeting, we enjoyed all the lace from the I.O.L.I. lace study box. The lace is absolutely fabulous. I would like to thank Amy for organizing all the gorgeous lace. I never saw lace made with straw or so many pieces of black lace. Unique pieces of lace filled many tables. You must see all this lace, the next time the lace study box comes in you must make plans for a visit.

Susan Wenzel’s husband Ken was with us for the weekend. Ken is a wonderful person and brought a variety of items to sell. I cannot speak for everyone but I sure bought more than my fair share. I did finish my lace star to go around the small wooden nativity star. Ken and Susan always have unique items in the store.

Also, we had a reporter from the Woodland Progress visit us on Sunday. Zandy spoke with all of us, and wrote a wonderful article on our lace group. I will e-mail the article to you if I have your address. The pictures and article is about two pages. I think the article is very good. I hope this will bring more members to the group. Or maybe make people realize this art form still exists.

 Hope we all get to spend some time this summer making lace. Have a happy and safe summer.

Lace Study Box   by  Louise Chuha

Lace, Lace everywhere-but not a piece to touch! At least, not with one's bare hands.

In conjunction with our annual meeting, the PLG decided to have a Lace Weekend. And obtained the Lace Study Box from IOLI.

The door to one of the rooms of the Churchill Boro building was tightly closed during our morning meeting so that we could keep our minds on the business at hand, instead of drooling over all that lace.

After the meeting when the door was opened, we found the room full of tables covered with every imaginable kind of lace from the IOLI lace box.  Each table held a magnifying glass and at least one pair of white cotton gloves so that no oil from our hands could harm the treasured collection.  I couldn't even begin to list all the kinds of lace that were there, but we all spent lots of time examining them and determining whether or not we agreed

with the identification labels that were attached to most of them.

“Analyzing Lace” a slide show from IOLI, helped us understand what we were seeing.

Lacy Susan joined us for most of the weekend, giving us the opportunity for one of our favorite pass times--shopping! There seemed to be more items from Germany this time than I remembered; I found some German made bobbins, which I just had to have.  Of course I bought 18 pair so I'd have enough to use on a pillow, being rather compulsive about having as many as possible of the same kind of bobbins on my pillow.

Future Events

Summer Camp  ~ July 9 through the 12th

It is that time again.  Yipee!!  Pittsburgh Lace Group’s Fourth Annual Summer Camp.  It is hard to believe that this will be the fourth year that we meet four consecutive summer evenings to make lace or learn about things.  At the Annual Meeting we decided that this year we would make more ornaments for our Easter Egg tree.  As you can see, it looks rather sparse.  Everyone should be able to get a good start on an ornament, if not complete one.  There are patterns available in our library, and lots of thread in the drawers, or you may bring your own.  Here is a list of the supplies that you might need.  A pillow; Cover cloths or the plastic circles that Judy Zeiss taught us to use; Bobbins a dozen pairs or more depending on the pattern you pick; Pins; Thread if you want to use something particular; Contact Paper to cover a pattern; Pricking card or manila file folder and scissors to cut it; Scissors to cut your thread; Thread to use for magic threads; A Crochet hook; Cold drinks;  Funny stories, and anything else you can think of. that you might need to make lace.  Amy, Suzanne and Gretchen will be available to offer assistance.  Hopefully everyone will have a good time and learn a few new techniques. 

 

Trip to Kent State

The trip to Kent State has been planned for June 22^nd.  If you are interesting in attending, Amy will be coordinating the trip.  Please contact her by the 18^th, if you are interested in going.  Drivers are welcome.  We hope to be back to Pittsburgh in time for dinner.

Gretchin’s Hankie

Gretchen’s grandson Sam is getting married and the Thursday night class has watched as she has made this beautiful lace from Claire Burkhard’s   50 New Bobbin Lace Patterns.  She prepared the linen and attached it.  It is made with 120/2 Bockens linen.  The pattern name in the book is “Seashores.” What a lucky bride.

 

Dewi Wong at I.O.L.I. Convention

Did you know that Dewi will be teaching Chinese Knotting in Oklahoma at Convention this year?  It has been some time since she taught us this technique in a mini workshop. We hope she has a good time at Convention and brings home lots of news and stories and has some time for fun and to visit with Robin who will also be attending.

Recent Events

We ‘re off to see the Lace  ~ a trip to KSU       by Amy Gibbons, Suzanne Potter & Sonya Hanczar

The problem with putting off writing articles for the newsletter is that dates get foggy and memories get vague, but by putting our heads together everything got straightened out.  After seeing the Lace Study Box, and hearing about the lace at Kent State, some of us decided that we would enjoy traveling to Kent to see the lace on exhibit there.  So on Saturday the 21^st of April, Suzanne and Amy picked up Sonya at the Krispy Kreme in Cranberry, and drove to Kent.  We wanted to go before “Sleuthing at the Seams” left May 13^th.  The exhibit described in detail how a 1750’s dress was discovered in a garment that had been re-cut for later use.  It went on to show the steps that were taken to recreate the original garment. Fascinating and Amazing.

We also saw Early coverlets and Crazy Quilts; as well as Japanese men’s garments, beautifully embroidered on the inside; Carnival glass; and several garments from the Oscar de la Renta Collection. 

The main reason we went was to see an exhibit entitled “The Art of Needle and Bobbin.”  This was in a large room, filled with lace.  Instead of seeing a snippet or length of lace, there was a garment showing how the lace would have been used when it was new.  There were also some amazingly large panels of lace that were hung suspended from the ceiling.  Everyone had their favorite pieces.  It was an eye feast, but there was a lot to take in.

After touring the museum and shopping at the gift shop, we were the guests of Amy’s friend Carole, who served a wonderful late lunch, before our drive home.  While at her home we got to see the Madonna from Read and Kincaid that Amy made in shades of blue silk several years ago.      

 

Library Changes            by Amy Gibbons

We would like to thank Gretchen Baudoux’s son for finding a new cabinet to hold our books.  We had become quite crowded in our old cabinet.  Now with two there is even room for new books when we want to add some.  Suzanne, Gretchen and Amy met at the church on Thursday, May 3^rd  and began the process of cleaning our cupboards.  All the books were pulled out and stacked on the tables in piles.  Then they were sorted as to type and entered in Amy’s lap top.  The books are now organized by category rather than author . 

Every book has an index card inside which can be used when you take the book out.  Just write your name and the date on the card and stick it along with your check in the library envelope.  We found twelve books that were not listed and several duplicates, which we will offer as door prizes at workshops.  Vera Cockyut’s book on Cantu was missing.  If anyone has it, please return it.  There is a complete list of the books by author and the  subject catagory they belong with, in the Library notebook to help you find things as well as at the end of this newsletter. The found titles begin with capital letters. The category list is at the end.  We were pretty tired by the time we finished, so everything is not perfect, but hopefully the new arrangement will make it easier for you to find what you are looking for.   

 

 

 Bobbin Lace Basics      

Dressing your pillow       by Amy Gibbons

No not dressing your dolls ~ dressing your pillow.  When we begin to make lace we are so eager to be actually making lace, that we sometimes don’t hear the things our teachers tell us.  Sometimes these can be pretty basic things.  I am going to try to present a series of columns on some of those things. Dressing your pillow refers to a series of cover cloths that can be put on your pillow.

When I began to make lace, I was told that the pillow should be covered with a tightly woven cloth in a color that is restful to the eyes.  That cover is attached to the pillow permanently.  But what happens if your cookie drops on it and it gets stained with chocolate or something else.  To save yourself from working on a stained pillow, it is a good thing to dress it.  That means that before you pin your pattern to the pillow, you lay a cloth large enough to cover most of the pillow across it.  This cloth too should be restful to the eye and definitely washable. 

Then position the pattern in the center of the pillow.  If the pricking card on which the pattern is mounted has curved corners, rather than square corners, the threads are less likely to snag on it. After it is positioned for comfortable working, cover the pattern with another cloth, leaving the first inch or so of the pattern visible, to hang on.  The new cloth should be restful to the eyes.  The threads not only don’t snag the pattern, they don’t wear on it either.  Also, there will be no cookie crumbs or chocolate and therefore no sticky place to work. 

After working the lace for a while, another cloth is nice to protect the completed lace.  If you will be working across that area again, a cloth will keep the threads from snagging on the pins already placed, as well as keeping the completed lace clean,  It also helps to prevent the general public from running their hands across your nice white lace and turning it gray too.

A different option is a circle of clear plastic with the center cut out which is nicer for people to see through.  That helps when demonstrating.  It is also easy to work across when you are working something with a number of joins.  The plastic is readily available at fabric stores.  If it isn’t as heavy as you would like, layer two or three pieces together.  Cut it the size of a dinner plate for the outside.  The inside dimension should be only big enough to work over your pattern, but still get all the threads through.  A cup, or small sauce dish, is ideal.

I am sure that you think this is about all that could possibly be required to cover a pillow adequately, but you need one more cloth.  This one can be bright and fun.  Its purpose is to cover up the pillow when you are away from it, to protect the lace right where you are working from dust, busy fingers and whatever other things might like to tangle up your lace.

All of those nice cloths mentioned, should be made from a washable, tightly woven material. Cut and hem the edges to the size that works for your pillow. Then launder it before you use it, every time

I know we enjoy decorating our pillows with all kinds of goodies, dividers, pincushions, pin lifters, crochet hooks, etc. but remember that you need to leave the majority of your pillow free for your work.  Most of those other things fit nicely on a nearby table.  We all get lax now and then, so it is good to review the basics.  Happy lacing.
