Great pictures Mark,
Recent years I have taken my bobbin lace to a camp, just for my pleasure, we
do sometimes have people doing beadwork, making moccasins and one or two
other things but normally for their own use rather than for sale.
We do have some blanket trading of unwanted items but your

Hi everyone,
I'm just back from Nice, where I did a French immersion course. In my first
French class, my teacher handed out free tourist maps of Nice with
advertisements for museums in nearby Grasse known for its production of
perfume. What caught my eye was a photo from the museum about life
Hello all,
I was reading some books about Bucks point lace and found the
expression "setting a pattern in".
What does that mean?
Currently, I'm practising gimp-work, learning to work with passive
pairs on headside scallops and valleys, and square tallies in tulle
ground... Fun!
Cheers,
Debora
Hi Debora -
I'm fascinated... I've never heard this expression before. Could you
tell us which author used it, in which book, and in what context? That
might make it easier to figure out.

- describes the winding of the bobbins, then how-to to begin learning bobbin
lace but doesn't describe per se what 'set in
It just means to hang in/on the bobbins and start a new pattern. I've
also seen it called "setting up".

Dear Clay, Ruth, Bev and Joan,
You are right. I got that term from Mrs. Channer's book. I thought it
meant "establishing the way the pattern works" or something like that...
Thank you for your ideas and suggestions!

It's an old expression which means starting to work the pattern or
getting it established on the pillow.

To All,
The Lace in Translation exhibition opened last Thursday and it was a grand
affair. The wine and hors d'oeuvres flowed all night as well as the
interesting conversation. There was an interesting mix of people and meeting
up with Nikki Nelson made the evening quite special. Everyone was
Hi Debora -
I have one excellent suggestion. Alex Stillwell has been studying Bucks
Point lace for many years, and to her surprise, most of the books she
had seen in the past were referencing only the much older books about
Bucks. So, she set out to really study Bucks Point and to examine i
