It is my feeling that it is time to admit that the amount of effort required to complete this piece of lace and to afix it to an antique tray cloth that has waited for 25 years to be trimmed is excessive. Clearly this is some kind of exercise in sentiment with huge emotional content, not the

Thank you to all you kind, sympathetic, spiders for your thoughts about my latest episode. I had known right from when I discovered my mistake that I would probably end up undoing the lace. The fates were just against me on this one. The whole idea of undoing the tiny hidden knots in the finish

My friend made a round tablecloth. The instructions on the outside ring listed the wrong number of repeats. It was too small by one repeat when she tried to assemble the rings. She had to cut it open next to the start/finish line, remove the old tie-off threads, wind and sew on a new set in the loo

Make a separate piece, about 1.5 motifs long, undo the join you just made, and patch it in. You will have 2 finished joins instead of just one, but otherwise it will be easier to make it look nice than trying to work in the threads you’ve already cut off. Adele North Vancouver, BC (west coast o

I had already emailed my suspicion to Tess, but checking Pinterest has confirmed that it was one of my former students, Jenny Boonham's entry for The Lace Guild's Movement competition in 2010. My memory of the boat was hazy, but I remembered her working on the waves. Jenny also created the cycli

Hi Miriam If you have anything other than the latest version you need the addendum list with the same number as the book you have plus all earlier addendum lists. For instance if you have Ed4 you need Addenda 4, 5 and in due course 6. Anyone who buys Ed 6 will only need Addenda 6 - which will st

Hello Tess and everyone This is a well-made and inventive piece of 3D lace! If you have the pinterest page it is on, there is a 'pinned from' link below the image.

A recent posting on Pinterest has come to my attention, and I would like to be able to give the lacemaker her proper due. See: http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/1200x/7a/18/02/7a1802d66f98faedffb4aa5d21e8d5a3.jpg It is a little sailboat with one of the most inspiring and original treatment of
