There is a German language Yahoo list for lacemakers, which has members from many countries including Austria. The group can be found here: http://de.groups.yahoo.com/group/spitzenliste/ I suggest that your friend joins the group and asks her question there. The group is active, but has much lower traffic levels than arachne. One of the latest topics of discussion is that there is going to be an attempt to set a new world record for the most lacemakers making bobbin lace in one place at the same time. The record attempt will be on Sunday 19 September at Abenberg in southern Germany. Abenberg has a lace school still, and was a centre for gold and silver lace making. There's a lace museum in the castle which is well worth a visit when in the area: Klöppelmuseum Abenberg Burg Abenberg/Mittelfranken Burgstraße 16, 91183 Abenberg Tel: 09178/90618 Fax: 09178/905185 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Abenberg is between Nurnberg and Rothenburg. -- My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.
