Do any of the US suppliers carry Goldschild 100/3 or 100/2 linen?
I have this tiny group of lace students, and I am out of the loop lace-wise,

luck. At least my lacemaking is still in my fingers !

I've got it!

The patterns are coloured pictures or line drawings and pinhole

The book title (an alphabet with borders things) is a fair
description. I think it was reviewed in Lace -
I was told 10 years ago (by my lace supplier) that these had been
discontinued. If they are available somewhere, I would also like to know.

I can't find anything on the net to confirm this, but I have been told
that Goldschild linen is marketed in USA as Londonderry linen (which we
can't get in UK), Certainly they both come in the same sizes and
colour ranges. I can't find anything about the manufacturer of either
brand,

Hope you won't take offense at this blatant bit of advertising... :)
I've been buying lace books from Fay for some years now (8? 10?) and,
for books in print, she's still the best deal around, especially if you
have patience. Her basic prices are competitive - that is to say

Hi Liz and spiders
Sorry to burst your halcyon bubble Liz, but I'd have to disagree with you,
we are not buying the same products for the same price, anything but. The
cost of lacemaking materials has increased just like everything else. Look
at the price for a book 10- 15 years ago, just had a

these are, I think, coverlets comprised of knitted squares, at a time when
thread ends from the weaving mills would be cheaply available. Not having

An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his annual check-up.
The doctor asks him how he's feeling. The 80-year-old says, I've
never felt better. I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with
my child. What do you think about that?
The doctor considers his question for a minute
