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. 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. This email was intended to share with you all about the Carrickmacross lace that was featured in "Piecework" magazine.
