RE: [lace] Piecework magazine/ Carrickmacross Lace
Hi Sherry I agree that the lace issue is worth having! BTW, The Wedding dress was not Carrickmacross lace, but the Carrickmacross technique of appliqué was used to transfer the machine made motifs in the lace to the tulle of the dress. Brenda posted this url last week which is a video clip of the making of the dress http://www.france24.com/en/20110514-fashion-Lace-Alexander-McQueen-Sarah-Bur ton-Wedding-Middleton Annette Meldrum, Wollongong Australia On Behalf Of Celtic Dream Weaver Subject: [lace] Piecework magazine/ Carrickmacross Lace I thought I would let you all know with the talk of the Royal Wedding dress (which I didn't think the lace looked like Carrickmacross to me) bring me to the May/June issue of Piecework magazine Years ago I took a lace class of Carrickmacross Lace with Mary Shields in Ithaca, N.Y.

[lace] Piecework magazine/ Carrickmacross Lace
I thought I would let you all know with the talk of the Royal Wedding dress (which I didn't think the lace looked like Carrickmacross to me) bring me to the May/June issue of Piecework magazine. I don't have a car and there was no place near me where I could go to the store and buy this issue of Piecework but once I found out there was an article about Carrickmacross lace I had to have it. So I ordered it from Interweave Press. I hate ordering magazines online for you have to pay for the postage which made that magazine cost me over $11.00. But I am glad I have it now. Years ago I took a lace class of Carrickmacross Lace with Mary Shields in Ithaca, N.Y. I am pretty sure it was the same year that the twin towers were hit because I remembered the worry about Mary flying in from Ireland in October and so soon after that awful day happened. Anyhoo...I remember that Mary had some beautiful examples of Carrickmarcross lace with her for all of use to see. The lace was so beautiful and Mary was so nice. I do believe that Marion Jones was also in my class. The Carrickmacross Lace was written by Mary and Marion both. There is also a beautiful corner hankerchief pattern in the magazine. After that class Mary had said she would love to have a lace bobbin painted by me. In exchange she said she would design a Carrickmacross pattern for me that I could use to make a pin. Imagine my surprise when I got a pattern in the mail along with the material I needed to finish it along with fan sticks to frame my lace into and make a pin. Since seeing the article in the magazine it is making me think of making that pin. There is the letter S in the middle for my first name. As somebody has said lately and it has been in the news...and I am going to steal the expression...There is a fire in my belly . Ahh Lace so beautiful!!
