Hello again, this month's textile arts newsletter highlights the expansion of top-importance knitting and good article candidacy for Palestinian costumes. We've had several more new articles appear at Template:Did you know and other exciting developments. Regards, Durova^Charge! 23:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the textile arts project had an exciting month in February: 7 featured pictures, 2 good articles, and 4 Did you know? entries. There's still time to join our featured portal drive. Our March newsletter has all the developments. Regards, Durova^Charge! 00:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lyndau, I have taken the liberty of semiprotecting your talk page since it seems to be the target of IP vandals (it may well have expired by the time you get this). It is currently fairly short, but we can extend it if need be. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. --TeaDrinker (talk) 03:09, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In light of ongoing vandalism, I have made the semiprotection permanent. If you'd like this changed at any time, let me (or any other admin) know. Best wishes, --TeaDrinker (talk) 03:43, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am been doing quite a lot of additions to Wikipedia in the field of bobbin and other lace, and would appreciate friendly (or otherwise) eyes to check over what I've done and change or add to them as necessary.

I am a bobbin lacemaker and have a site teaching people how to make lace, with my own patterns on it as well:

   http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/lace/index.htm

As you can see from those patterns, I am not necessarily a rigorous follower of accepted styles! I also have a lace collection, from elderly relatives and bought from chairy shops. I have recently put it online:

   http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/lace/collection/index.htm

In trying to identify the collection, I naturally started with Wikipedia, to find a lack of information, and worse still, pictures. So I had to look else where, but then thought I ought to supply what I now know to Wikipedia. So you can see that the additions are not from an expert in lace styles! But a start is better than nothing, and I have been careful about supplying references, etc. I have also added pictures, usually from my own collection, since that is OK about copyright, or from out-of-copyright books. Unfortunately, this means that I am only about 90% sure of the accuracy of the pictures, and less than that on their quality. Still, something is better than nothing. Here is what I've done...

New articles:

 Genoese lace, Cluny lace, Maltese lace, Barmen lace machine, Princess lace, Renaissance lace, tape lace

Expanded from stub:

 Bedfordshire lace, Lace machine

Added existing picture:

 Metal laces, Maltese lace (the pillow)

Added picture from my own lace collection:

 Barmen lace machine (lace), Cluny lace, Maltese lace, Princess lace, Renaissance lace, tape lace, Bedfordshire lace, Limerick lace, Bucks Point lace (simple example), Chemical lace

Added picture from elsewhere (out-of-copyright books):

 Barmen lace machine (machine), Genoese lace, Antwerp lace, Bucks Point lace (multiple examples)
