Hi Carol I don't suppose that this is going to be much help to your friend but I'm sure that there is a pattern for a windmill in one of Veronica Sorensen's books. Definitely not the Bruges flower lace, but one of the others, I can't remember which and am at work at the moment so can't check. This windmill is 3D so it may not be of any help but I think it's based on the smock windmill in Upminster in what now passes for Greater London, but when I lived a few hundred yards from the mill in the 1960s/70s was part of Essex.
Alison in Colchester, Essex, UK and, at last, the sun has come out on a grey day I am hoping that you can help me! A lace-making friend was hit by the North Sea Surge in December last, and her house is till full of sand and sea-water, as well as other impossible things, but she - and others in the same situation - has had a great deal of help from the local publican, whose inn is called 'The Lighthouse'. As a small thank-you gesture, she would like to make him a small picture of a lighthouse, but so far none of us can find a pricking. So - if anyone can eMail me a pricking, or tell me where to source one, I would be cery grateful indeed. The other possibility is a pricking/pattern for a windmill - the sais could be the beams of the lamps, so if anyone has anything remotely suuitable, do please let me know. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
