I think that was my design on the back cover of the Lace magazine. I did a tree in Milanese lace using 12 pairs (A partridge in a 12 pair tree). Only one pear on the tree along with a fat partridge. I designed it for a calendar using 12 pair of bobbins for the design, which did not happen an

Thank you for that. I found a Honiton pattern for a Partridge in a Pear Tree in Lace 128 page 39, by Jean Inglis. The index is on the website for 2000 onwards, so I was able to search that way. Sue sueba...@comcast.net - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: un

Hi All, There is a gorgeous Partridge in a Pear Tree on Tamara Duvall's site: t-n-lace.net Under Non-Series designs 1991-1999. Beautiful! That site from Ilse is amazing. I shouldn't have edited it out. I still want to make my lace by hand but it's astonishing what you can do with a computer
