Re: [lace] summer/winter projects

I am currently working on a lovely round Beds/Cluny mat designed by Margaret Tite. It is great to work on, hard enough to keep you thinking but not too testing that you can't be bothered in this heat. I am half way round so starting to think about the next project. It is my parents 50th Wedding an

RE: [lace] Miss Channer's mat/Fine Buckinghamshire Point Lace Pat terns

I have this book and agree this has some stunning Bucks patterns - Christine Springett has trued up many of the prickings. I finished the fan on the front cover earlier in the year it was very satisfying to work. Not quite as many bobbins required as for Channer's mat. Diana Berkshire UK > -

RE: [lace] Miss Channer/ Point Lace Books

Hello I like the look of these, I haven't seen any of the books before. Sorry but I don't understand enough French to read if they contain the prickings, diagrams etc. Could any one tell me any more about them. Thanks Diana Berkshire UK > -Original Message- > From: palmhaven [mailto:[EMA

[lace] Finca 60 thread equivalents

Help, I am going on a workshop at the weekend and just discovered the pattern I want to do recommends using Finca 60. Can anyone tell me an equivalent thread for Finca 60 please? Brenda is Finca in your book? I only have version 1. Failing that where can I get a reel of Finca 60 by Friday? Thank
