Hello All! Thank you for setting me straight about the candle flounce "container"! Now that I recognize the product, I know I had a pair once but I think they've gone to the great Goodwill Store in the sky.But you HAVE given me the idea of sandwiching a small piece of lace between plain gl

[lace] Breaking Threads

2012-08-17 Thread lacelady
When working in warm/dry climate, it helps to replace the moisture in the threads. I found linen threads breaking last month when I spent two long days outdoors at DH's family reunion. That night I spread out my bobbins with plastic underneath to protect the pillow, then laid a damp cloth over

Dear Mark & other interested Friends, Then I toy with the idea of starting yet another piece I know I will enjoy, instead of trying to finish those others on the pillows. ENDLESS CYCLE!!! Isn't that just the wonder of lace making?? David in Ballarat, AUS - To unsubscribe send email to majo

Hi My problem is just the opposite. I have just finished a Kortelahti Oval from the book of roses, and a Torchon bookmark. I cleaned my pillows from UFOs which were sitting there collecting dust for several years. I didn't finish the UFOs I just took them off the pillow going by the motto that if

I thought this thread was about the UFO candle holders as shown in http://www.ateliermb.ch/shops/dentelle/eu/contents/en-uk/d9.html A circular edging goes under the glass and a candle sits in the depression in the middle of the glass. Brenda On 17 Aug 2012, at 02:44, wrote: > Would someone p
