Hi Spiders,
I received a package in the mail from Switzerland and one of the stamps on
the packager was embroidered in a lace pattern!
I have uploaded a picture of it to Arachne Webshots to the album named

Hello everyone
I hope everyone has a wonderful time on their lace travels - it seems
quite a number of arachnes are 'abroad' or doing so sometime this season.

it is time for another informal survey. This one is:

Thanks, Bev - for starting an interesting thread that helps get us out of
our summer doldrums! I confess that I'm doing more quilting than
lacemaking at the moment - a fact that is attributed to my happy part-time
employment in a quilt shop where I can make up shop samples to my heart's
content -
Hi Spiders,
Pieces I actually have in progress

Bev, what a delightful idea! Thank you for thinking of it! At present I am

Thanks Bev, it's interesting to read what people are doing.
Me? I've only got a couple underway at the moment:

Hi,
Has anyone from North America ordered Beryl Maw's lace pack directly (ie
not got someone in the UK to buy it for them)? I am interested to know
how much the postage is (in pounds and pence) so that I can send off my
order ...
Thanks in advance,

Hi everyone - this was sent to me privately, was meant for the list as a

Hello everyone,
Usually I am a lurker but it is neat to see what everyone else is doing.

lace class

look at it again to see if it is realistic to
I need some opinions. A new seller just asked me this question:
"I wanted to ask you as a collector, do you prefer large amounts
of yardage or smaller pieces? I was told once by a dealer friend that she
really only sold 2-3yd pcs. of insertion and "usable" lace."
Comments, please.

Janice, enjoyed viewing the photo of the lace-painted
cow.
My current projects include the following:
1. painting of the final wall in the living room,
2. sewing,
3. angel in wire lace,
4. torchon being done in linen,
Not working full time during summers, provides more
time for extra projects.
I'm currently (still) plodding away on a piece of beds designed by Robin
Hueppauff of Oz. It's hard to find time at the mo' with both kids home
on summer vacation (roll on end of August when they go back to school!).
I also have a little tatting on the go - thought I would use it to

I have made tatting for about 35 years.

Half your luck! What sort of quilting - and the patchwork part, too, I

How do you restrain yourself from buying a piece of everything? :)) :))
