Canadian suppliers that spring to mind are: http://www.victoria.tc.ca/~wt912/ http://www.trilliumlace.ca/ US suppliers http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/ http://www.lacemakerusa.com/ http://www.lacemaking.com/ http://www.lacysusan.com/index.html http://www.snowgoose.cc/ This is not a comprehensive list, just what I can think of without too much effort! I don't know about their policies on payment, you'll have to check the sites for that. Oh! I've just stumbled across the Arachne page for suppliers ( I don't know how up-to-date it is): http://www.arachne.com/suppliers/lace_sources.us.html and list of Canadian lace guilds (dated 1996!!!) : http://www.arachne.com/guild/canada.html There is a Canadian lace guild and magazine, but I can't readily find info on that American Lace Guild: International Old Lacers Inc http://www.internationaloldlacers.org/ Lori the lace fairy has collected lots of sage advice for beginners on her pages: http://lace.lacefairy.com/BeginGuide.html Hopefully soon - others will chip in with more info. I'd better go out and stop playing on the computer for now.!! >> Sue Babbs >> (an Englishwoman living in Chicago) >Cool.... My family came from Manchester.... I'm first generation >Canadian.... I come originally from the Wirral (across the Mersey from Liverpool). My first job after university was in Manchester, and that is still my preferred airport for flying into the UK - lovely early morning flight along the coast of North Wales. then I know I am home!
