Dear Fellow Spiders
As we are now into December and the count down for the Festive Season has
begun
I should like to share the work of myself and few good friends this Autumn.
We have animated my bobbin lace rabbits and you can see the result best on my
Website.
Go first to the Christmas conce
I do agree with you, Robin.I've spent a day demonstrating with someone
working a piece of tape, with half a dozen pairs of bobbins - it was so fiddly
that the visitors just couldn't see what on earth the lacemaker was doing.
On the other hand, I happened to have a piece of Bucks on the pillo

pairs) for demonstration and I've had great reacti

A couple of years ago at a demonstration, one of the lace makers brought a 24"
cookie pillow for beginners to make a snake. The enterprising lace maker had
put 4 prickings on the pillow (along each point of the compass: north, south,
east and west) and had 4 children work at the same time. It was

Everyone - if you put your lace pillows away in any kind of container,
remember the principles of conservation I have written about so many times.
Moths, rusting metals, mould, etc. Remember that some pillows have wood
content. Containers and tissue paper made from wood pul

I was looking to buy something to carry a pillow in and DD spotted just what I

I don't know about other areas of the UK, but where I live I don't think I've
