The article about the parasol was very good, thank you for sharing that with
lacemakers who will not have been around to know your special friend.
Also thank you very much for the advent calender. I hardly dared hope that
you could all have the time to make it happen again, it is now

Dear Arachne,

What a lovely senitiment this is to all those teachers and lacemakers lost
over the years. I haven't known any of them, but they have left a huge

Daphne, Carol, It was with deep regret that I read the news that Sally
Woollard has
died, I spent many a happy hour with other lacemakers learning so many
different

Another option for thread storage is the Art Bins, sold by JoAnn Fabrics and
