A copy of Jean Leader's book of patterns for 4 Bedfordshire bookmarks is on
ebay, starting bid 95 pence. I bought it direct from her a short while ago.
Be interesting to see if some stupid person goes mad and pays way over the
price they can get it from from Jean, like they did for Barry Biggins' b

Hi all
One way of finding out about lace classes that I don't think has been
mentioned is by asking at your local library. Suffolk Libraries have
what they call "Suffolk Info Link", here they list all kinds of

One problem with describing the dynamic open warp technique we all love as
"lace" is that fact that that word carries all the wrong baggage and in fact
does not really describe the thing that a young person like Rhiannon wants to
do with it.

Here is the touchingly honest response from the curator of Silk & Satin in

Dear Ms. Thein:
Thank you for your interest in the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museu
I'm a bit behind reading my digests, I'll delurk to throw in my 2
cents. I would assume I qualify as young-is. I'm in my 20s and have
been making lace since I was 16. I am currently in grad school
(finishing up in a few months!). I never thought about going to a
convention until last summer. U
Dear Friends:
Can anyone tell me about any classes in Vadstena lace in Sweden this year?
I have the paperwork to join the Swedish lace group, but at the moment, I
just want to know if there will be one and when it will be. I would like to
attend, but at least need some information first.
One other aspect of this issue is that sometimes "stupid" people aren't
aware that a given item is available directly from the author/maker and
don't know of any other source for the item.
I, myself, would surely qualify as a stupid person for purchasing a good

Gentle Spiders,
Someone asked recently (can't remember who), when we'll be notified
about our class asignments. Well, today, I got a card from the RMLG
(the organising group) which says:
The Rocky Mountain Lace Guild has received your registration for the
2005 IOLI Convention. We will be sendin
Gentle Spiders,
I've been waiting for "lace" to slow down a bit; didn't want this

with it since.

Thank you so much for your recent inquiry into the department of Costume and
Textiles' collection of lace. We currently possess close to 800 pieces of
lace, ranging in date from the mid-16th century through the early 20th
century. A number of these are currently available to view online
Devon, thank you so much for posting that letter. I had a look and there is
quite a
bit of lace, on its own and on costume. Lovely!
Helene, the froggy from Melbourne, where the weather is so nice I've been

When we lived in England 1977-1981, we had one bank account with American
