Not being able to remember this bookmark, I reached down my copy and settled down to read. What an issue of interest to arachnes.
One of the first things I spotted was a letter from Leonard Bazar about the original inch measurement. A couple of pages on was an article about a jabot and cuffs made for the High Sherriff of Merseyside in 1994, then a couple of articles about lace in Spain. Next I found (with great delight) the instructions for making a small electric bobbin winder from a battery operated fan and the inside of a cotton spool. I have tried to describe this a couple of times to arachnes who have had problems with bobbin winding due to wrist or hand problems, but now I know the way to make it <VBG> On the very next page is an article on polystyrene and styrofoam, followed by Leonard again - well, Leonard's Honiton lion. And finally, just as I was beginning to wonder if the Greek OIDFA was going to be as good as the Czech one was - I don't associate Greece with lace in the same way - there is a letter from a Greek lace group who met near Athens; I wonder if they are still there and already planning for 2006. And I am wondering if Jean Horne is one of our many Jean's, and how many other arachnes I missed. I have a whole new view of the wider lace world since belonging to this group.
