Jeri,
Please never stop, I save all of your posts and am working at reading
the archives. Your knowledge is something that we can not bear to lose.
Currently I have been reading some books on lacemaking as I can at work
and home. Trying to get as much information on how to preserve the past
I have mainly lurked for a while, but do read each and every email. Just
have not had heart to write much lately.
But I did want to share what was recently made lace wise... I knit a
baby christening dress in pink with white roses. It had a beautiful
winding leaf pattern down the front with

Thank you Jeri!
I have now spent even more time reading about lace history. Such a great

Congrats on a new job that lets you craft!
I have just started one that allows me too. I don't have a permanent
desk yet but when I do I plan on bringing a small pillow to work on.
Anyone have any suggestions?

That is a very interesting thought. I love that we have such wonderful
lace makers on this list that point out things such as this.
Currently I am working on the Russian Lace Making motif. So far this has
been a huge learning lesson for me. Number one. do not use spangled
bobbins.
Anneke,
Your piano runner is beautiful, is there any way to get some close ups
of it? The Withof lace is so beautiful and sculpted. I keep looking for
a way to see it closer to see the beauty of it more clearly. That is the

So wonderful to see the beautiful gown and all the lace. I so need
to find funds to get to see the dress! Somehow I think the shoes were
missed on the big day - such a horrible shame as they have such detailed
work on them.

Alex,
That is an amazing piece of lace. Wish the photo would allow for a

hope to be able to do someday.
Thank you for sharing!

Hello spiders! I do hope everyone has survived the cold weather and
snows we have had in the US and elsewhere.
I have been thinking of ways to display and use my lace pieces.
The one piece is a square and after thinking about it some I thought it
would be great inside a coaster form. Does
The patterns in the museum are very interesting! Thank you so much for
sharing.

Happy New Years spiders! I am going to be working on some simple things
by starting at the beginning of the Discover, explore, master Torchon
book and working through it. I still need to get the last part of it but
it is in my list of books I wish to add this year. Also working on some

I wonder if these were made on a tape loom. I had the opportunity to
get a photo of one at a historical site a few years ago :
