Hi Bev,
I just had a thought that I don't want to spend a lot of time making
a piece of BL if I only receive a card with a tatted snowflake.
Can participants notify you with regard to the type of lace they will
be making & what sort of lace they would like to receive.

That's interesting. We don't have a bobbin lace tradition in Israel, so I wonder
why he thought it was Israeli? Unless it had Miriam Gidron's name on it (or
mine) or it was purchased in Israel, that seems rather unlikely. Could you post
the URL again sometime? I'd like to take a look at it. Thanks.

Hi everyone
When you sign up for the Christmas card exchange, specify the type of
lace you will make and would like to receive - if you have a
preference, that is.
For those who have already signed up, contact me again if you have a
preference.
I will post a reminder again in a few days, and will
While we are talking about antique lace, I was given a book of bobbin
lace samples made/assessed in 1911 when I went down to Witney on
Wednesday. I wondered whether perhaps any French Arachnes might know
anything about the institute?
The book, a red hard cover folder slightly larger than A4, conta
Another viewpoint, for your consideration:
