I also received my card this week, a rather cute angel which is now hanging
on my little tree. It never ceases to amaze me how different lace will be
when exchanged around the world. Many thanks from Barbara Saltern my swap
partner and for the ladies who organised it again this year.

Hello Adele,
here the competitions have a theme and exact dates for the size of it,
so that all works are more or less equal in that. And I think a system
about the special points of a work are important

Dear Lacemakers,
On the cover of the most recent New Stitches magazine #176 from UK to
reach Barnes and Noble bookstore, there is a Historic Lacemaker dressed in
white
bonnet, floral scarf, red/white blouse, long skirt and apron. She has a lace
pillow on her lap. I would be inclined not
There was a lovely item on the local news this evening about 'The
Seamstress' statue at Leicester.
I only live just over 20 miles from Leicester but knew nothing about the
statue.

Not sure about other fairs, but the ones I've entered do ask for level of
expertise. I assume that information is factored in by the judges in some
way. I usually put down advanced lacemaker but I might add new to this

I rarely come across famed lace, - and then usually, it has had the glass

Hello all-
Ilske, I'm with you--not having enough time to make lace is what I don't
like!
I've found that I don't even mind having to retro-lace as it's just part of
the game. A few years ago I undid an entire morning's worth of Flanders only
