maker from Birmingham.
He bought some lace bobbins from us, and told me that he does tatting
which he taught himself.
I did tell him about your website, but don't know whether he did go to

I hope that none of our friends 'down under' have been caught in the
current bush fires raging in Victoria and S.Australia. Maybe one of
them might be able to tell us about the situation.
Here in Sawbridgeworth we, at the moment, have missed the worse of the

I just don't know how you can stitch in temperatures of 40 degrees! Here in

Hello All-- There are so many sorrows posted, both personal & community, that

Hello Everyone
I have been asked to let you know that Pat Payne sadly died last
Thursday after a struggle with throat cancer. Pat started Norfolk Lacemakers.
Has anyone got a copy of the Lacemakers Prayer Please??
We only have a short version and wonder if there is a bigger version.
Thank
Ruth and other Aussies, many prayers are being lifted up for the devastation
in your beautiful county as well as for the families who've lost loved ones
and/or their homes.
