Hi David
Yes, I agree - a modern Chinese repro.
Whatever the price I wouldn't bother to bid for it. With all that
plain fabric between the tape lace bits I'm sure there will be a degree
of shrinkage when it's laundered and will be a real pig to iron. It's
just not special enough to put that

Hi Bev, Carolyn, et al,
When I hosted the Lacemakers' Circle Suffolk/Essex Get-Togethers at the ICI
Imagedata Recreation Club, in every November, I used to make huge,
industrial quantities of Cattern Cakes, and also a couple of Tanders Cakes -
but I also used to make large quantities of the fo
The discussion of Het Lassen was very timely! I have been re-learning lace
after stopping for a dozen years or so, and have been toiling away on a piece
of wide torchon. It is going fairly smoothly now, but turning that first
corner wasn't pretty! (I had never actually done a corner before having

One way to practice Het Lassen is to use machine laces .. anything you have on
hand. Cut it apart, then overlap to match the pattern and overcast across two

For some time now I have looking at just "when" East midland Bobbins started

I clearly know why Honiton bobbins were not spangled because they have to

be a darned nuisance to say the least. (It must b
It may surprise many of you to know that my collection of bobbins is "very"
