Needlelace flowers.

Oh Nelleke, this is truly lovely..sort of Van Dyke style edging. How
appropriate. Lovely work...no wonder the costumemaker had a greedy look in

I wonder if anyone can help me on the above point.
I have a lave booklet which is one produced by the lace guild and I know it
is still in publication. This was an unwanted gift form a friend a few

Very pretty piece of lace - well done! You worked it very quickly. It seems

Hi Jenny -
As long as you are raffling the original book and not a reproduction of it,
there is no problem. You could even sell the book (on eBay or through a used
book-seller), as long as you were selling the original and not a reproduction.

The Bucks pattern arrived in my mail yesterday; thank you so much! My
husband gave me a look because he thought I'd been shopping on ebay again :)
I'm inspired to start something new, especially since my current project is
winding down.
Thanks again; what a treat!
Thanks Clay,
I have had a couple of replies telling me it will be OK, as I thought it
would but didn't want to tread on any toes.

Thanks for that bit of advice, Sue. Hadn't thought about it creasing so the
fold wouldn't come out after being pressed. Do you think that will be a
problem? I've kept it on a roller as I made it. I've sewn the garter
together so short of putting it around something quite large- 30- then it

Jean I enjoyed seeing your collection and also looking at your various items
