Re: [lace] Speed and efficiency in lace?

Elena asked about speed - the fastest lacemakers I’ve seen in person are at the Kancentrum in Brugge, Belgium. There seemed to be a few of underlying commonalities. First, they seemed to be working on patterns they understood and knew well. Second, they had been making lace for years. Third,

[lace] Miss Channers Mat

I have a pristine copy of this Floral Bucks pattern, and I’m considering selling it as my interests have veered to Binche. I have absolutely no idea how much is reasonable to ask for it. I honestly don’t recall what I paid for it. And I don’t know where to post it. Can I get some ideas from

re: [lace] introduction and pillow ? (long)

Christina in VA asked - has anyone flown with their lace pillow? If so, what is the largest size pillow you were able to carry on? I've flown both domestically and internationally with lace pillows, and have given up trying to carry pillows onto the plane due to the size problem. When I take a

[lace] Re: Pillow Survey

It can be a little sobering to do one of these, and discover how many pillows you really have... Most of my lace pillows live in a small closet in our guest bedroom. Some are on shelves, and some are in their carrying bags, hanging from hooks on a low rod. Two stay on stands in or near the
