I purchased a little book directly from Ulrike Lohr (Voelcker) in 2009 at a class. It was published in 1999 and the price is something like 12 Euro. It is called ABCâs in Flanders Lace. It is a small book, similar in size the the blue Lace Guild publications. Using it you can make any sign you want in virtually any size thread. It contains the ground grid, at least two edgings, and all the prickings for the letters of the alphabet, including the strange ones, common symbols, and numbers as Flanders motifs, as well as the diagrams for making them. You play with the photocopier, and copy the letters, ground and edging out of the book, put them together with tape, and photocopy, adjusting the size as you wish. There are full instructions for starting and ending. So you can make all sorts of labels, signs, using your preferred size thread, and thus controlling the size of the end result. I would say it is for the advanced beginner or intermediate Flanders lacemaker. I have made several labels with my initials, and one sign for a T shirt that says, âThis is bobbin lace.â That one took 26 dozen bobbins.
I do not know who presently sells this book, if any, but Ulrike Voelcker should know, if no one else.

With the heat and humidity, it is going to feel like 100F, 34C Thank heavens for air conditioning. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
