If anyone is visiting Normandy this month, there is a temporary exhibition of
lace (both hand and machine-made) in the Musee de Normandie in Caen until the
31st August. I visited it last week and although it's quite small (their
temporary exhibition space is no bigger then my dini
Gee. Adele..maybe I just a linty person. I love using the
courdury, but
green lint was on the threads.
I was thinking of a discussion we have had on this list a couple of
times, where people have complained that their reel of cotton (or
linen) thread broke all the time and other people came
Another excellent material for a cover cloth is "ultra
suede". This is a man-made fabric which is wonderful for
cushioning the bobbins, slowing down the rolling, and
generally making the pillow feel very nice to work on. And
it doesn't get caught in the threads either.

I believe that both of these lace items are machine made. It is very

It is quite simply breath taking - I wish I could have done this for my
parent's 50th anniversary - but looking on the brightside, if I start now it
will be finished in time for their 75 in 3 years time

Hi Jacqui,
I am not sure there is anything for a 70th anniversary. How about using
elements which would add up to 70 instead:
eg
Lace13
Silk12
Sapphire45

Lace13
Cotton 2
Emerald 55
Hope this helps

Hi All,

that velvet is *not* a good fabric to use as cover cloth or pil

I did a search on google to find out what chamois is and I found that is the
kind of soft leather that you polish cars with, is that right? If so, it

facing up. I have a slightly domed 16" pillow at the moment, but am think
