Thank you so much for your response to going to the Oidra. As I might have my
93 year MIL with me I want to find the easiest way and place to live. We
won´t go to any classes or trips, only the exhibition, if we make it to
Prague, depending on health and such thing. We can´t decide anything until

I am a member of IOLI and the Golden Bobbins chapter of the North Carolina
Regional Lacers, and I am writing a masters thesis on American lace making.
I plan to write a short book on the history of lace making in America, with
chapters on bobbin lace, needle lace, crochet, knitting, and tatting

Hi All
Just though I'd give you all an insight into the lace which I've found here in
the south of Spain. Having moved here permanently in Sept I spent several
months in a 'lace wilderness' apart from finding a local (English speaking)
sewing group. There I swiftly found willing pupils and now hav
Dear Jane and Spiders,
Another thought for a definition of lace.
A form of weaving using threads on bobbins over a pattern[called a pricking]
supported by pins inserted as the work progresses.
Just another cents worth!

I like the definition in your 3rd paragraph.
" A more accurate, though broad definition: Bobbin lace is an off-loom
weaving technique; each thread is attached to a bobbin. Pins are employed
to maintain the structure of the fabric. "

1. Santina Levey points out that the towns of Valenciennes and Binche are
very close together, almost contiguous. Her opinion is, therefore, that the
towns were making the same kinds of laces at the same time. Antwerp was the
source of Pottenkant, a straight lace with long symmetrical repea

The more I think about and read about Binche, the less I think I know what it
is. Only one thing seems to be clear: it wasn't made in Binche. Some people
seem to think it was made in Valenciennes. Bertha Van Doren (Lace Magazine)
seemed to think it was made in Antwerp. As a rule of thumb, I woul

It sounds really interesting - and such a lot of hard work!

Good morning All,
I wonder if anyone else has had this problem. Some designers print out
their patterns on coloured paper so that they cannot be reproduced by
photocopying. I understand this as they do not want their designs sold
on or even passed on to other people. But I do not like to prick
