Thank you all for your kind comments on my piece of Gros Point needlelace.
I must now dream up something special for 7 in 2007!!
I really enjoy working Gros Point and the embellishments, where one's
imagination can really blossom!!
I just have to restrain myself a bit, as I tend to over embellish

Hello Sally,
As someone mentioned a little while ago, the Embroidery and Lace
galleries at the V A seem to be closed at the moment. It would be
worth phoning to ask, although there are costume galleries which
include lace. The best 'shop' I know for antique lace is Ann Swift's
stall in

Recently I bought an english book, History of Lace, published in 1979 by
Margaret Simeon with illustrations from her own lace collection. Judging
by the photographs she
I would suggest day trips by train from London. Three good sized
collections can be seen. 1. Cecil Higgins Museum in Bedford has a
fantastic collection of Thomas Lester Bedfordshire lace. 2. Wardown
Park Museum in Luton: I haven't seen the lace display since it was
moved to the ground
I've been looking at Christine Springett's Christmas
Book and was wondering if anyone out there in lace land knows where I
can
purchase some of the jewels which are used in some of the Xmas
Decorations. I've
emailed Roseground with the same question but to date haven't received a

I worked that same book a few years ago. I purchased several glass covered tea
trays with removable felt backs. I placed my pieces in those with little
numbers telling which lesson number it was. I have those hanging in my
kitchen. I don't use them for tea trays just display. It's fun to

I had the same problem when I started to learn Bucks. I worked my way
through most of the beginning patterns of Geraldine Stotts book on Bucks
Point and ended up with lots of strips of Bucks. I had a small china headed
baby doll so I made a very fine Christenening gown
Hi
There are copies of the book about Rachel available but the only way of paying
for them is with a cheque made out in pounds sterling.
For anyone interested the book costs £2.50 + 50p postage and packing making a
total of £3. With only 50p for postage I don't think they will be winging
As nothing has been mentioned on Arachne for some time regarding the
lace patterns available from the museum at Retournac, and we have had
quite a few new Arachnes lately, I thought I would forward the message I
received tonight (and yes, my subscription is on its way!).
For those who don't know,
Dona, thank you for posting the web site regarding
Balinese lace. While I found it to be interesting and
attractive, I would like to know a bit more about it.
I hope that your next trip there, to make lace, will
be very pleasant.
The web sites containing photos of the wire laces are

Hi,
I'm in Bath. I was planning on going to the suppliers fair on Saturday,
there's a few things I need, and I'm sure I'll find stuff that I want but
isn't actually necessary :-)
I thought that glue and lace was a very bad
Dear Secret Pal,
I've just received a phone call from my friend, who is collecting my parcels.
Thank you very much, it sounds like a lovely collection of goodies. I'm
going to have a great time seeing them all, when I get back home. Then I'll
be able to comment on each individually.
We've
A couple of days ago, one of my sources sent me some photos of funny
billboards. I thought to forward them to everyone on both my joke lists
but, 37 of them and nearly 900 KB seemed a tad too much. I culled out 7
which tickled my funny bone a bit less, and sent the result to myself,

I think I've seen this before on chat. And, given some of the airlines
mentioned (long out of existence), the compilation must have begun a
very long time ago, though some are definitely newer. All are funny...
