FUNDRAISING September is the month we start our fundraising effort for our continued existence next year. This month I’ve not been able to get the publications out at the beginning of the month, but I’m very happy that some of our regulars did not feel obliged to wait, and we have collected 205 USD already. […]
WELCOME This week we welcome 38 new members – 39 at the last count! Many found their way here from a newsletter from the Nordic Needle, and some also by an independent search for patterns (I asked). Such a large increase is very unusual. I’d say unprecedented, but when Mary Corbet was so kind to refer […]

NEW PUBLICATIONS http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/html/warm/A-MH143.htm Finally I got back to Marleen Van Horssens legacy: around 250 embroidery patterns and supplements from French needlework magazines from the 19th and early 20th Century. And I discovered a whole box of stuff I have not even cataloged yet – not even photographed yet. (Our backlog has a backlog of […]
NEW PUBLICATIONS http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/html/warm/F-II007.htm This book is al about Casal Guidi embroidery, a 3D embroidery that makes me think of a crossover between embroidery and needle lace. Fabulous work, really shows off your skills. There aren’t many resources for this technique; there have been one or two newer books published, but so recently that […]
Video Director Agreement template from New Media Arts New Media Arts has prepared, for its own use, a number of agreements for employment, licensing the use of material under copyright, etc. We are reworking these into templates and releasing them for general use. New Media Arts believes these agreements are adequate in the context of […]
NEW PUBLICATIONS http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/html/warm/G-TP010.htm Another item from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, a garland of roses in many colors. When charting this one, I discovered that PC Stitch can set the original image as background, and project the charted pattern over it. That speeds up charting a good deal. Of course, the resolution is […]
In a previous blog I wrote about setting up a company CC gmail account, using filters to forward to multiple participants. Every board member adds it to the CC line on company emails, so every board member gets a copy of everything and we have a record of most company communications. We experienced overwhelming “TMI” […]
CURRENT STATE OF TECHNOLOGY The wifi connection strength is so-so, and I’m happy that I uploaded most of the image files before going on holiday. Actually, last week was mostly getting my laptop to work with the programs that run on my home computer – and then having to install Java 8 – and then […]
THREE NEW PUBLICATIONS http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/html/warm/D-YS044.htm This is one of a set of pattern supplements of a French publication, La Mode Pratique. Actually, it hasn’t even been scanned yet, I edited the preliminary photographs, because I could not find the scans, nor the original paper. I’d add a photograph of my storage room, but then […]
