Rhiannon, I believe David was working on his resizing back in 2003 according to the archive- is this so? That was probably when I actually resized the pricking. I have to confess that I did it first in order that it would fit on to one A4 page :) And I'm fairly sure that I had to take it to

Hi Sue, The Ruth Bean pattern pack contains the pricking and a picture of the finished piece. No working diagram. I have mine pricked and ready to go but then it's been that way for probably 5 years ;-) Good luck if you decide to do it! bobbi On Sat, 21 Feb 2009 21:59:00 - "Sue" <2har

Hi David - This version of Miss Channer's mat outshines your first effort with the mat! Can you tell me please... aside from reducing the size and using black silk instead of white cotton, what else are you doing to work this as "Chantilly" rather than Bucks? I applaud anyone who can take

How terrible! It sounds as though someone is very jealous of your beautiful work, and so feels she must hurt you by hurting your lace. I guess we can be grateful that we have gifts that make us happy, while they have bad feelings that make them miserable people. Among the lacemakers I know,

Hello Carolyn and All, such things I have had lace bobbins neatly cut off my pillow (just two, side by side, very neat) at a workshop. It hurts too much to think that a fellow lacemaker would do such a thing, are very ugly. Me once happened that on sunday eveing after a lace- meeting-weekend

Now THERE's a sad story!! I've done a number of pieces which I would like to display or to even enter in competitions, and because of my own reluctance to put my long and hard work up for grabs (in a worst-case-scenerio) I have not done so. However, I must add that if I ever (in my dreams!!)
