Please can you tell me what this is called so that I can look out for it if
it is ever put onto DVD. That way I will be able to hire it from my local
DVD rental store.
Thanks,
Karen in Malta.

Some years ago Shirley Gee's play ASK FOR THE MOON was performed here in
Chicago, and I was asked to be the lace consultant for that production.
Elizabeth Kurella and I jointly served that purpose for a performance of the
same play the following year in Michigan.
I mention this because the situati
The orange one is 50wt, the green is 40wt, and the grey is 28wt. There is
also a red one that is 12wt. Haven't used these for bobbin lace, but have
done miniature knitting and lace knitting (doilies) with these threads.

How envious I am that you are all able to see this show! We don't get

Hi,
I wish to thank each and everyone that responded with answers. The hints were
great. I've tried a number of them.
I think I like using the low stick masking tape (also know as painters tape)
the best, for attaching the beginning thread to the bobbin.
I tried the little hair clips and th
The first pieces that Queenie showed were edgings of Bedfordshire lace but
the piece she took from the basket was definitely Maltese - showing the tell
tale cross. On the pillow she had a nice Bucks Point edging in progress. It
was interesting that Queenie had two pillows - one bolster and the o
Looked more Maltese than Beds to me definitely.

Just watched that too, but she described the piece of lace that she took out
as "Point Ground" but I don't think it was? Wish I had taped it so I could
stop the tape and study it . Anyone else got any idea what it was

To get this posting started, here is my latest funny story!
When demonstrating bobbin lace, the correct answer to "Is this the tattoo
parlour?" is "Yes". I found this out this year. A mother had left her two

Hello Spiders
I happend to be assembling a blog-post on wire bobbins, part own images,
