Hi everyone,
I am new to Arachne and started learning bobbin lace Fall 2012.
I like to make lots of things and my immediate family has attended the Bay
Area Maker Faire for the last three years (http://makerfaire.com/). Maker
faire is kind of like a State fair, but for people who like to make things
with old, new and cutting edge technology. Two years ago I saw a booth from
a company called Spoonflower. Spoonflower will custom print small lots of
any design on a variety of fabric weight & fibers -

Perhaps we could make some kind of 'tools of lace making' fabric (with
bobbins, shuttles, crochet hooks, needles etc.) or 'lace sampler' fabric
with Arachne Anniversary notation. Then people could use the fabric for a
variety of lace items depending on what they need - cover cloths, tatting
carry bags, bobbin carriers etc. (Or maybe lace terminology in all the
languages spoken/used by lacemakers on the list? I've seen thank you mugs
and bags done in this style and they look very interesting with different
fonts/colors)

p.s. Julie from Lacemakers of Puget Sound shared some fabric which she
designed and had Spoonflower print
