I have been catching up on my digest for some time,
when I came across
this one I had to comment. 2 years ago our guild (The
Dogwood Lace
Guild) desided we all wanted to make a fan, but we
also wanted to learn
and practice Milanese lace, we agreed on a pattern and

almost a year,
I collect fans - in any condition and of all types from any country. Must
have over 100.
Having sticks made or buying ready made might be beyond the pocket of some,
but that's no reason not to make and mount a fan.
I carefully remove the leaf from those old ones in poor condition - the
If you can't find sticks to fit the fan pattern you have, it might be
possible to alter the pattern to fit the sticks. If you can get the outer
curve to fit, the inner curve would need to be adjusted. I could do this
quite easily with the one I'm currently making because there are three

class with her during the winter, she talked about her fan book and said
