Good morning All,
Thank you Tamara, that is a super scan of the picture from the
Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. The bulbous bobbins are very similar to one of
the Batavia bobbins. I have a reproduction set made a few years ago by
Kleinhout-Kantklossen the dutch suppliers. It is interesting to note
Hi Robin and All,
sadly when Christine and David were wanting to sell their business, no
one was willing to 'buy' the English Lace College so it no longer
exists. No more lovely weekends making lace with other pupils with the
best teachers available in a delightful atmosphere of work and fun.

Dear Lacemakers,
My customer-to-supplier interactions with both the Springetts and Linda
Fountain in the U.K. have always been pleasant. It is my preference to pick up the

I have another question though. I've just started experimenting with Bucks
Thumpers and I think they'll be ideal for me - nice and big. I've so far

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that it is possible to write
to everyone in your computer address book using a feature like the blind

Dear Lacemakers,
I sent the comments about lace in Russia to a super-intellectual friend of
mine in town. You know - one of those people who can churn out many books on
many subjects, and is now working on her 4th university degree. We became

Once again I am trying to catch up with all the postings. Life seems to
take over, one way or another, but I feel I must tell you about the lovely
piece of Romanian Point Lace that Sulochona Chaudhuri has made from one of

I am SO impressed!! I can't wait to see pictures! It

struggling with massive bobbins made by her carpenter, and
