[lace] lacemakers/groups in Devon

2011-06-17 Thread Agnes Boddington
Are there any lacemakers or lace groups in Devon? A lady living in Kernborough nr. Kingsbridge is looking for other lacemakers. I think she has made lace before, but not for a long time. Agnes Boddington - Elloughton East Yorkshire UK rain forecast - so going t pick fruit before it arrives.

Hello All! What caught my eye in Laura's blog was her beautifully painted blue cross & bible kitchen door. There are four panels that would be the perfect spot to display lace! Loved the starry cover cloth as well. Catchy when out on a demo & fun when working alone. Win-win. Sincerely, Sus

Welcome to Arachne, Peg. I just don't understand those hundreds of dollars prices for books - especially Rosemary's, which is still available direct from the author at http://www.lacedaisypress.com.au/index.html. I love that book - it's what I learnt from. No chance of the luxury of a teacher
