Dear Janis in South Africa, There was a Margaretenspitzen article, with instructions, written by Maji Suhm - in the American magazine "PieceWork", May/June 2012 issue. Marji is a recent past Vice President of OIDFA and a past President of The International Old Lacers, Inc. in the U.S. She is in the process of bringing Margaretenspitzen history and instructions to English-speaking lacemakers. In connection with this, I brought copies of "PieceWork" to OIDFA Caen, to give as gifts to people from different parts of the world. They went to lacemakers in England, Scotland, Germany, and South Africa! My friend in South Africa may see your letter on Arachne, and may contact you off this Arachne list. Everyone: When you travel, think of ways you can share lace information with other continents. This is important to the survival of unique laces. The lacemakers in Eastern Europe would tell you how difficult it has been to reconstruct their traditional laces after 2 destructive World Wars and occupation by a nation that was unsympathetic to their history.
