RE: [lace] Wemyss School of Needlework, Scotland - Goldwork possibilities
Dear Jeri Thanks for another interesting email. I had never come across the Wemyss School and it looks so delightful. On my wish list to visit. You tempted me to also look up the RSN website and did indeed find some lovely gifts for friends (and me). A thoroughly enjoyable diversion. Thanks again for sharing the information.

[lace] Completed Wisteria Lace by Agnes
Dear Agnes, Your lace is beautiful. Thank you for mentioning Christine Springett, whom I've admired for nearly 40 years. I fall back on her books and videos when someone is interested in learning to make lace. The combination of her assistance in getting started on the videos, and the books telling in words what to do and showing photos of completed lace, working diagrams and prickings have been invaluable for this purpose. In lace friendship, Jeri --- In a message dated 9/20/2016 2:52:35 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, ag...@weatherwax.karoo.co.uk writes: Hi all. Thanks for all the nice comments on fiknishing the Wisteris edging. In reply to several people: the pattern is by Christine Springett. She has a website with the pattern/pricking on it if anyone is interested. Although it took me 2+ years, mainly because I do not have a lot of time to make lace, though I hope to get more time now I am not working as much anymore.

Thank you Jeri once again for your lengthy post, full of interesting information as always. I had no idea that this school existed!
