Jean,
Your plate is really lovely. The dark blue gimp really brings it to life.
Congratulations of a beautiful piece of lace.
I remember back in the early 1980s when I was going to lace classes with
Alex Stilwell in Essex, she made a Willow Pattern plate piece that was oval,
is this the sam
I have put hand made bobbin lace on some dresses and blouses that go in the
washing machine, and washed them many times without any problems. All of this
lace is torchon or tape lace, made in a fairly thick cotton. Some is Filatu di
Cantu, which washes extremely well. The lace needs to be eased int
Having read the current thread about washing and pressing lace, I got
motivated again, to repress the two hankies I recently completed. I had
steam pressed them after I finished sewing but photos showed up new hankies
looking like old hankies, with creases etc. So I just bought a new iron,
Hello All! Congratulations to Celia--I'd love to see some WIP (work in
progress) lace with the adopted bobbins! Jean, nice job on the blue willow.
Have you considered adapting this design to make a fan? You've made some
lovely ones already & the blue willow would make a nice addition to your
As you all know, I am not shy, and write frequently in this forum. My
most recent post was about the hope that authors could use modern technology
to continue to print books after the initial runs were finished, so that
valuable texts would, in essence, never be out of print. This was prompte
Dear Lacemakers
I have been discussing with Alex Stillwell the possibility of re-printing my
book Needlelace Designs & Techniques - Classic and Comtemporary as I have
received numerous emails during the last twelve months or so, asking if I can
help locating a copy. Unfortunately I can't but have
Hi Cathy
I would be happy to buy a copy in black and white rather not have a copy at
all, especially as I have just taken up needlelace again after a very,very
long break.

I was one of those lucky enough to obtain a copy at a reasonable price
recently because we were using it for a section in my Diploma in Lace
Studies at the University of Malta. It is a beautiful book (I knew because I
had seen it before) and I think I would have been grateful for a copy even

Hello Catherine and everyone
I think it would be timely to make your book available again either as
BoD or eBook, pdf. For the latter you could go with colour.
The information on the floppies should be stored to current media
storage (e.g. a memory stick) if possible. Maybe you've done that

Hello Catherine
I think an e`book is a brilliant idea as you can send the book
anywhere in the world without extra cost.
There is also another good reason for having e`books, that is you don`t have
boxes of books waiting to sell.
I do have a copy of your book bought when I did the City and
There is one possible way round the problem of books which were produced
before the advent of windows and digital photography, i.e. on a typewriter
and with diagrams cut out and glued on to a page - yes we did used to have

First let me say, I know nothing about needle lace. The transition from
old-style printing to new-style printing could get a bit confusing. Your
particular issue is color. If your color is just to make the pictures of the
work prettier, I'm sure no one would care. If, however, your color has

Saving info from floppy to a current form of storage is very necessary if the
data is important, but a memory stick isn't the most reliable way - a hard
drive or CD/DVD is better, and/or upload to a remote server somewhere.

I hope I'm not just repeating what others have said. I feel that books
are a precious resource and need to be protected. Paper books are great
but expensive to produce and keep in stock. Ebooks in whatever form are
excellent as well.
May I suggest that authors keep a master print copy of their

It is a good idea to have several places and means of storage for

Hi Catherine and All
A photographer friend of ours recently e published a book of photos
telling the story of his first year living in Spain. The quality of
the printing is superb, even the ´paperback´version.
I´ve just checked and the company does have offices in both the UK and
