Dear Mary Carey, This must be your fondest lace dream-come-true. There is an artist in Australia from Melton, originally from Ballarat, who makes the most wonderful Stumpwork (needle lace). This is the 1600-1700 embroidery technique that Susan Hottle suggested we look at yesterday on http://thistle-threads.blogspot.com/ Back to the Australian artist, Alison Cole. Her Stumpwork birds were featured on the cover of The Embroiderers' Guild of America's March 2014 issue of "NeedleArts". Other contemporary Stumpwork is in her Gallery at _www.alisoncoleembroidery.com.au_ (http://www.alisoncoleembroidery.com.au) When looking through her Gallery, I came upon a child named Bek, and her very lovely pillow. We are too quick to underestimate what children are able to do, when motivated.

Dear Ladies, Had a success with your Demonstration Fish yesterday!!! Think I have two "converts" in 7 1/2 yr old GD and daughter. Almost 3 year old GD insisted on "helping" her mother.
