Hi All,
I recently had occasion to try laminating with a machine embroidered badge I
had done. To fill up the laminating sheet I added prickings of ducks (for my
granddaughter) and one hand crocheted bookmark.
I was pleased with the result and will be trying laminating with small, flat

Hello Antje
Your linen thread probably has sizing in it. Try a test before treating
doing anything with your scarf. Take a length from the spool and get it
quite wet in clear water, put the wet thread between two layers of a towel
and press the water out. Let it air dry and you should see a differ
I have just finished one of Cathleen Belleville's rosalibre designs to be
mounted as a brooch. I was so pleased with it, although it was the first
"complete" piece I have made, that I immediately started another one. It

Linen tends to soften with washing but, on the other hand, from my limited

made in linen - i
Last week I finished the lace for a Spanish collar. This type of collar is
painted amongst others by Rembrandt on the Nachtwacht. It takes 5 metres of
lace. The lace is finished and the collar is made by a seamstress who expects
to finish it today or tomorrow.
Now I am making fishes of bobbin lace
I am working a 's Gravenmoerse scarf that I started during the Doris Southard
Lace Guild retreat at the beginning of November. I have passed the halfway
mark; a good thing since this is going to be a Christmas gift for my mom. I'm
having so much fun with this project that I can't wait to start an
I've been working on edging for a set of placemats. I chose this
project for my demos at Heritage Park in Calgary this past summer. I
volunteered one day per week. The edgings provided long enough pieces
that I didn't have to start a new piece each week. I'm still working
