A year or so ago, Anna from Hungary (who is/was in the Lace List) sent me a catalogue from an Exhibition for 100 years of Halas Lace, and Arpád Dékáni, and also Mária Markovits who worked the lace.
The lace is beautiful, and inside the front cover is a photo of the bronze statue of Dekani standing by Maria as she works. It is great.
Anna included some postcards of lace, and a folder from Kiskunhalas showing an exhibition, etc. What a wonderful place, and how lucky some of you are to have visited there.


I have not yet tried Halas lace - I hate darning, and the solid work is woven, - not Corded Brussels stitch as is usually done. However, it is on my "to do" list!! (and having an Hungarian husband, I suppose I must make the effort!!)

from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, where it is another warm to hot spring day ( and more like summer weather)
