Greetings Åll,
About correct pronunciations, and this is just MO.
I lived in San Antonio, TX for 10 years (I'm a Yankee). The population of
San Antonio is predominently Hispanic. It didn't take me long to learn that
Anglicising Spanish words particularly names was considered disrespectful.

As I understand it, stumpwork was the art of making little 3 dimensional
figures out of lace stitches to attach to embroidered fabric. Your
experience with the C G group doesn't really surprise me. It embodies my
major objection to formal certification bodies. They tend to think they

Actually, I have heard of gros point in needlepoint. Mum has a lovely
Chippendale needlepoint on the go (from last century :-) ), which has
a petite point centre, and gros point jacobean design around the centre.
Cheers,

My point of view is in agreement with most of the
people who have posted. I feel that it's best to use
the true pronunciation of the name of a lace, and make
my best attempt to do so.
I certainly know how it feels to have my name
mispronounced as it has been most of my life. While I

Hi everyone,
I think I'm going to order a block pillow from Kleinhout soon. Before I do, two

Has anyone else here ordered pillows or other things from them, and how was it?

Battenberg type tapes where the pattern of holes in the tape
changes every foot or so. I found a little more information! In
Harrisburg I bought two samples of tape like that, one is 1cm
wide and the other 5mm wide. In both the

Point de Neige in mind which I always start with point. Then I

Yes, Janice, There are photos posted of my 2 Mixed Lace pieces in my
collection on the Arachne Community Webshots page. Currently (I just had a
look) they are on the 2nd line of my photos, nos. 2 and 3. - the Plastron,
and the Cornucopia. Go to the Elizabeth Ligeti 'album' with the picture of
To my Secret Pal,
Such an early surprise today when the postman came to my door! And such an
interesting package. Thank you for all the goodies! I'll have to plan
some time to sit back and just enjoy reading. I had to force myself to
stop today because I have to get some other things done.
OK, it's not on its first circuit for many of us... And I dare say some
of the hard-core feminists are going to be offended by it, as will some
of the hard-core clean police.. What can I say... I think it's still
