[lace] Bookmarks

Dear David, In that same vein, I recall several years ago when Arachne had a bookmark exchange. I sent my pardner, she was in California, two bookmarks, one bobbin lace and one tatted. I got nothing in return and after I posted that message on the List, you, Dear David, sent me a beautiful Buc

Re: [lace] Storing bookmarks

Hi Miriam and everyone Fun questions! Bookmarks are a nice project for bobbin lace. They don't take long and one pattern can be made variously. As it happens, one of my favourite patterns is a Torchon design by Miriam which we published in Canadian Lacemaker Gazette a while back. I made probably a

RE: [lace] Storing bookmarks

What do you do with the bookmarks you make? Do you give them away, do you save them. How do you store them? Miriam In a very hot Arad, Israel Well, to be honest I haven't made so many bookmarks as I'm usually too busy doing other things, but I do find it very hard to give away a piece of
