Hello Debbie,
I hope you will not wait too long to get started on this

Hello Janice,
Check out Susan's wonderful Honiton and Binche lace. I am so

Hi Tamara,
I'd be glad to help! Just sent me the scans and I'll see if I can

I was thinking buckspoint was a little delicate for around a pillow. Good idea

in the U.S. I have purchased woolen felt from JoAnne Fabrics. They may carry
it on their web site but you can probably find it closer to

I use old Army blankets that are 100% wool that I find at thrift stores.
