It seems to be my luck to be posting embroidery stories. Splashed over the
papers is the identification of an alar cloth in a small church in
Herefordshire as a piece of a dress from Elizabeth 1st.It is being
conserved by BRP: and there is a lovely short film on youtube.

Hello All! Last summer, WalMart sold cute & comfortable "crocheted lace"
espadrilles. Would you believe--they are back this year! Black, ecru & hot
pink! I've posted a pic of mine on Arachne Flickr. Usual disclaimers, happy
customer, etc. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Palm Beach Gardens, FL USA
Hi Everybody:
A couple of weeks ago I posted a question (below) about a Honiton collar, and
didnât hear from anyone. Happily the owner of the collar has sent me some
photos, so I invite you to take a look at them and tell me what you think (see
link at bottom of message).
My original question:
Wow! That is a very beautiful piece of lace! I see what you mean about the
rectangles. I don't have a clue, but love it anyway. It would seem to be very
meticulous to make (for me anyway).
Thanks for sharing!

The picot braids in a square pattern look to me like the 'purl edged braid
squares' shown on pages 75 and 25 of "Honiton Lace: A collection of
rediscovered fillings" but in this case the purls are only on one side of
the braid not both.
I look forward to hearing what others think, as I am not

as are the leaves with raised work. I’ve never seen
