A question recently came to me about Christmas ornaments and their
patterns. So.I put the question to all of you.
What is the source of your favorite Christmas ornaments?
For Christmas patterns, I like Brigitte Bellon's "Kloppeln zur
Weihnachtszeit" (Bobbin Lace Christmas Patterns). Ther

I loved visiting the Honiton museum. I've heard the museum has been
renovated since I was there (1996) so I don't know how much it's
changed. When I was there, there was a room devoted to the lace, and
such a spectacle I spent so much time in there! Just before
entering the lace room, t

Dear Arachnids
When I was in UK over August I visited the Fan Museum in Greenwich. There
were no lace fans on display at that time, as they were having another
exhibition of different fans. There was an unmounted lace leaf on display.
In a way I was disappointed but I realise that Museums have t

The Lace Museum at Honiton is a must for anyone who can fit it in to

As a lurker, I'll chime in on this one as I'm an ex bookcover maker.
Weronika, you're right in thinking that lace is too fragile to be wrapped
around the bottom of a book cover and slid over a shelf. So just skip the
edges!. When I had art, or fragile fabric to use for a turned edge (glued)

I started with various types of lace from various books, not realising there
were any particular styles. Torchon wasn't included. Now that I started

Some day I found a good affordable sampler explaining the most important
Torchon elements.

Recent messages have made me realise just how guilty I am of Lurking. I've been

to redress the balance here goes for a short report (got to be short as I'm off
to Lace Day in Garrucha in half an hour).
