Oh golly, I remember summer in the UK as a wee bit warmer than that but maybe it was because I was much, much younger. :-) Cheers, Shirley T. - almost winter solstice and it got down to 4C this morning. On 19-Jun-15 7:36 PM, Sue Duckles wrote: So, Shirley Janis Welcome to an English

I have only just seen the request for info from South Africa re Father's day. Maybe it was on a missing message! Father's day in on June 21st - 3rd Sunday in June - and it is freezing, so no making lace outdoors at the moment. Mother'a Day was May 10th, 2nd Sunday in May. We demonstrate when

Making lace in public can take place in libraries, malls, parks, or anywhere a table and chair can be set up comfortably for the lace maker. I'm not sure scheduling a specific day is as important as the fact we want to share the experience and make others aware of the art of making lace. I

If this is a new event/idea someone's come up with, why not have it the same day as the already long established UK National Lacemaking Day, 2nd Saturday in September (this year the 12th) and make it International Lacemaking Day instead? June 21st is already taken for Father's Day.

Yes, Devon and Jacquie. Jean Leader has pointed out: The first UK National Lacemaking Day was actually on 14th September 1991 - there’s a report with photos in “Lace 65 (January 1992). When I read about this, I wondered why all national lace guilds could not agree on a date. There may be
