Hi All, How delightful to get to read about these two lace events this afternoon. I also have my windows open and am listening to the birds chirping so I could relate to Micki's note. The lace weekend sounds wonderful! And I love Carrickmacross too. I learned from Mary Shields, who taught at Ithaca, New York a couple years ago. It's such a beautiful lace. I also love learning different kinds of lace because of how a different technique is perfect for a different design. I hope that makes sense <G>. I have a landscape idea in mind that will be perfect for CMX and no other type of lace that I know how to make.
Sue Harvey's idea of getting CMX patterns from coloring books is great too! Dover publishes a lot of coloring books in the US with non-cartoon characters that would be great for that. From some of the requests we've gotten on arachne there is great interest is some *odd* subjects for lace pieces <G>. And thank you, Martina, for your wonderful e-mail about the Bavarian/Slovenian BL exhibit. You gave a great description - sounds like a wonderful exhibit. I feel so lucky that I can sit at my computer and read about all these wonderful events all over the world! Jane in Vermont, USA looking forward to the New England Lace Group Retreat in Wareham, Massachusetts next weekend!
