Hi Bev,
I'll be your company!!! I'm also working on a garter. Your patterns sounds
very similar to mine with the beading down the centre. I just measered mine
and I am at 33 centimetres. When do you need yours done by? My son's
wedding is August 26, but I want to get it done in plenty of ti
I currently have a narrow edging on my travel pillow
that I'm trying to grow after cutting 1.5 yards off
for a friend's birthday present. I left myself about
8 inches on the pillow and it is about 18 inches now
after a week of working on it. I like doing edgings,
even when I have no project in mi
Hi All
Working away on my 5m and yesterday, I passed the 3m mark so I feel like I'm
really making progress now! I'm doing a lovely (I think) Rauma pattern from
Stjernuddi, Old Rauma Point Ground Lace. I also have a very narrow edging
on another block from the same book for a Christening Gown
Hi All,
I am about to take Edging 27 from "Lace for Church Use" off the pillow and
mount it on fabric for my local church at Easter. It is about 70" long.
The pillow is a custom made square one which my friend's husband made a base
for when I did Eeva-Lisa's Cricifixion a couple of years ago
Yes, I am making a yard+ of lace - a Table Ribbon for the IOLI competition -
If I ever get it finished
I seem to be getting too many interruptions lately!

weather, with heavy rain this afternoon - at

Hi Irene
I'm just pricking out a bucks garter, bobbins all wound so almost ready to
start, I've not got a deadline as it's fo
10 inches so far. It has been on the
back burner for awhile as I have been trying to finish a Honiton piece.
All for now,

Hi Irene and everyone
goodie, lots of people making long laces, and some of us into garters!
I am greatly encouraged. The 25 cm. that are on the pillow as of last
night are still 25 cm. this morning (no garter elves?) but I'm pumped,
the next 5 cm. will be fun. Yes Irene I promise to keep going..
Not a garter, but it is long. I am making lace for a jacket. I've done 126
inches so far (fronts and cuffs) and still have 36inches for the back to go.
I've only just started that so it could take a while as its over 4inches
wide

's Gravenmoer is my latest lace love
Please forgive my ignorance, but what is 's Gravenmoer and what are Sulky
blendables? They both sound fascinating!

Hi everyone
This is a short message about the lengthening lace - my garter project
is now at 60 cm. of a 100 cm. goal.
How about everyone else working on long laces? How's progress?

Sue, your jacket is the most stunning thing I've seen in a very long
time!! Your perfect balance of elements in the design is just
incredible!! I'm impressed with your lace, with your construction of
the jacket, with your sense of color, and your expert use of
materials!! WOW!!!

Thank you for the compliments. There are things I'd do differently if I ever
re-did it, but it's good to learn from a piece too!
Where will I wear it? I'm shameless! If I kept it for best, I'd hardly ever
wear it, so I will wear it to the shops, church, NeedleArts Guild meetings,

Congratuations Sue. A terrific job. I love the colors and the lace. Is it an
original design lace and is it s'Gravesmore ? I also love your blue moon
scarf and the lizard. Your web pages are great. Hope to see the patterns
printed in a magazine so we can share. :-)

Hi Bev,

Sue, this sounds beautiful, I would love to be able to see a picture of the

Most of my lace seems to be Torchon and now a lot of Bucks Point these days.
