lacemakers there too. If someone of you know something about anybody and I
could help i any way please let me know.
Cross my fingers for all people inthat region

I know that there have been discussions recently about the size of a
lacemakers tool. I see this one on ebay. It gives the dimensions and also shows the
style really well. I'm going to see if my DH will make me one for xmas.

Hi everyone
I enjoy working with variegated threads. It is a challenge to make them
work with an already complex pattern (i.e. from the lace design point of
view) and they do add spark to a simple design, such as a tape lace
outline.
I discovered the Valdani line of threads - Valdani has its own

Your flower is so pretty!!! I love how you used the variegated thread. I

Hi everyone
Thanks for sharing the dot-biz website Helen. Interesting. The Rosaline
examples are close, with some licence, tape lace mixed in. The 4th
picture from the top is closest to being like traditional Rosaline though
the design is a bit open.
The merchandise certainly is inexpensive!

Hello one & all ...
I have been away from lacemaking for *way* too long but am slowly getting back
into it. I have absolutely *no* lacemaking thread but I have tons of tatting
thread in all sizes. This may be a dumb question, but can I substitute
tatting thread for lacemaking thread? Is there a

I greatly enjoyed seeing your lace on community.webshots.com. I really like
the Cluny piece and the colored laces. That community webshots site is a
great invention. Whichever lacemaker first discovered it deserves a medal.
It's a good place for us to share our work.

Sorry about the proliferation of posts tonight :)
As far as threads go, I seem to remember someone telling me once that if you
