Are there such things as self healing blocks ???
I only make bookmarks. 25 for 2004 and again for 05 plus those I do during
the year.
I obtain polystyrene strips from an electrical shop, but I rather fancy self
healing
blocks. The cost might be prohibitive of course.

Whats the best way to start a lace collection and where is the best place to
buy?
Hm, the glib reply is start with one piece of lace, and add to it
Browse through ebay for starters, that will keep you busy!
Maybe to start with buy what you like, and take it from there - will

I don't have a huge collection of lace, and I haven't confined myself to
only bobbin lace, but I have certainly picked up some treasures at flea
markets. Amongst those have been one of the most remarkable pieces of
knitted lace I've ever seen. It's a tabletopper knitted in, I would say,

Along with the extremely minor November update to the Lace Guild
website (just a few events added), we've made a couple of changes in
overall site format. One aims to increase text legibility with the
trend to larger displays over the last few years, and the other to
give a somewhat cleaner
Hello Sof
They say that these rayons are 40wt which means that they should be
similar to other rayon 40s such as Anchor Alcazar, Sulky or Madeira -
about 34 or 35 wraps/cm
Gorgeous colours but like all rayons slippery to use on bobbins.

Hello
thanks for the reply. i didn't think anyone had mentioned it too often
here, so it must not be very popular for a reason. the acetate did
sound like a better option. it would be easier to push the pins in and
work over the lace than to try to pull the thread a little higher over
a wedge. i

i didn't reply to this one. it wasn't written to me, not that i wasn't

Hi Tamara and everyone
Take a scrap of fabric, ca 10x3. Hem both short ends. Sew the two
long ends (right side to right side) to make a tube, turn to the right
side. Close one end of the tube, ca 1 away from the hemmed edge. Stuff
We were given these as favours at a lace event some years ago.
thanks for the idea. i can whip up one or two of those in a half an
hour and they won't break or roll onto the floor too quickly. i hate
crawling on my hands and knees under the furniture trying to find
something under a table or chairs. a piece of cloth doesn't roll as
fast as a shiny piece of
i think i want one. i need a pin pusher and some size 14 pins anyways.
i might wait until i start a new pattern that might require it, but
it sounds like a nice buy. i'm not sure to get the horseshoe or the
aquarium tubing, but they are both so cheap i can have both!!

In between handing out candy to children tonight, I
managed to flip through my Piecework magazine that
came in the mail today. It is very interesting, as

website - a Snutki doily and tatted star.

Yes, our icing sugar has cornstarch in it too - that's what gives it
that silky feel when you rub it between your fingers, and what makes
it thicken up instead of just turning to syrup when you add milk or
water to it for a glaze.

and bit of icing sugar worked in are the only ingredients. Not sure about
US icing sugar, ours has cornstarch added to it.

icing sugar which is powdered sugar.
Cheers, Yvonne.
