Thank you, Steph, for calling our attention to the forthcoming Antique
Vintage Clothing and Textile Fair (Sunday 26 September 10am - 5pm, Armitage
Centre, Fallowfield, Manchester)

Because many joinings are needed to complete this sort of lace, beaded
English bobbins would be extremely difficult to use.
No, not 'extremely' difficult, just slower and call for a bit more care.
Beaded bobbins also come in lots of different sizes, so you don't have to
worry about not
Hello everyone!
I hope you're all safe and sound, none the worse for wear
after the storms that have been hitting us left and right
for the past week! I noticed yesterday (a rough day for us,

Hi All, I've been looking through some old IOLI Bulletins and
found an interesting article in the Winter 2002-2003 issue.
The article is on Chantilly lace and is based on A Study by the
Lafayette Lacers (from Indiana). The reason I'm writing is
because of the chat last month on Chantilly. The
Hi All, I thought mixed was the term already used for mixed
lace as in Mixed Brussels (not mixed-up Brussels G). But
I guess that's for a mix of NL and BL, not Flanders and Honiton
or whatever of two BLs.
Anyway, I got into the Point de Gaze class with Irma Osterman

I would be inclined to use the same thread, or something similar for the N:L

I used the same thread, when making the Cornucopia. The net ground was in

What fraction of a dollar is a dime?
Every so often (what a stupid phrase) when my purse (wallet) seems like it
weighs a ton, I remove all the low value coins - 1 pence, 2 pence and 5
pence - and put them in a jar. I either put them in charity collection

Dear Helene,
To the best of my recollection, there is a beading technique for flowers
(using beads and wire) that is called French Beaded Flowers. I don't know
if the French is honorary.

Reminds me of the time, about 6 weeks after we moved to the United States.
My son was sitting state tests, one question of which was about a child
paying for something with x nickels y dimes. He could do the maths part of
