I usually try to finish one piece at a time, but must admit to having two
unfinished at the moment. One is a large Bruges flower lace mat, and I have
just run out of team on that, and the other is a "free" lace piece that I
know is going to be difficult to finish off - it is waiting for me to have
Hello All! Would someone please explain how to use a candle flounce?? Is this
instead of a bobeche? Or under it? Is the flounce just for show & not for go?
Even when using high quality beeswax candles, there are occasional drips that
would be a bear to get out of any textile! You're giving

I never simply work on one thing, I have a challenging pattern usually
teaching myself a new technique, any easy pattern to do just for fun, a
project eg gifts for family members, and at least 2 others all of
different types of lace. I love going from one to the other as the mood

Hello Liz (and everyone)
I might have done, although not knowing the name.
I do remember making a pointy plaited edge for an Idrija lace where it
seemed optional to use a pinhole at the point within the plait, or plait
around the pin at the point but that won't answer your question... a google

Elizabeth,
I am not familiar with the term Trident, but wonder if it is the
same as a trefoil or "little crown." Did you run into either of these
terms? If so, they are made differently depending upon what type of
thread you are using.

I have had things on my pillows that were not very large and more than half
finished and then I didn't touch them for years. Sometimes I finish out of
a sense of duty (blah) and sometimes I fall in love with it all over
again. But lately I have been mostly tatting and inventing things in

Don't you just hate it when the last step in a near finished project is a
sewing session.

Thank you Helen,

of all ages

didn't look the right size, but I took my failed attempts of trying to
design my own several years ago and it fitte
Yes - I do. I think it was 2000? Seems like it was to do with the new
millennium? I could be wrong though.
What sort of candle holders? I think I may have missed this part.
I know Susan Groh had a really pretty Torchon pattern that went into a clear
glass/Perspex tealight holder, that got nic
Yes I am the same as you Ilske. Â Always eager to start the next project.

I am like that. But only on pieces where I have enjoyed the pattern do I
really not want it to be done. Hence I have several pillows with half
finished projects. But if I am just a few inches away from finishing, I
do like the satisfaction of working it through to the end. Then I toy

David, I always start grieving when the end of a project is near! And yes, I
probably drag it out as well! But I'm also eager to get it off the pillow and
see it in its glory!

It's *after* finishing a piece that I've used as a demo project

Dear Friends,
I'm wondering whether any of you ever do what I've just done.
I've been working on a very difficult piece of Point de Lille for the

enjoyed it so much I am loathe to finish it. So 2 days ago I simply

A special thank you to those of you who were in a position to reply to my
query about peg lamps. I have found them most helpful and as result of their
help and some initial (subjective) observations I would like to share my
thinking on this development, which until now, I was totally ignorant of.
