Well I hope that yur lace comes together well, without any disappointments.
I have been off arachne for about a month to allow me time for our two
trips away and the preparation time needed just before and between.
I have managed to make up Janice Blairs little rocking horse in
preparation for

Dear Diana,

Hello all,
I have been demonstrating lace today in the Library in Chislehurst Kent
(UK) and have helped lots of children to 'have a go' at torchon. We have
a beginners pillow with a snake on it and even a couple of little girls
of only 2 and a half and 3 years had a try - they did very well
Hello Celia and everyone
'best' lace software design just depends on the user. There are several
choices of hobby software just for lace design, the two in English have free
demos to try. There are the computer-assisted drawing programs, and even the
simpler drawing program such as Paint.

Hi everyone,
Today I got an e-mail from Splenda (a company that makes an artificial
sweetener). They claim that today is International Chocolate Day and we
are to eat plenty of chocolates. Hey! I'm all for that. Chocolate candy I
have on hand, will do for lunch. Maybe a hot chocolate
As Bev says, 'best' is whatever suits the user's needs, but industry
standard (Mac and PC) is Adobe Illustrator.
The other specialist lace design program, available for both platforms,
is Knipling

Photoshop isn't really a drawing program,
I've just finished reading The Romance of the Lace Pillow. The lace
maker on the cover is identified as Miss Warren, of Stoke Goldington. I'm
curious about her. She could not possibly have thought that her picture
would still be on this cover, or that the book would even still be in
print
Cherry Knobloch asked: The lace maker on the cover is identified as Miss
Warren, of Stoke Goldington. Does anyone know anything about this woman?
A quick check at the 1901 census for the name Warren and Stoke Goldington
lists about 7 families with the name Warren.

I just did a two day workshop with Barbara Underwood in Sydney and the
subject of Miss Channer's mat came up. She told the very unfortunate story
of the disappearance of the original mat made by Miss Channer. It was on
display with a furniture exhibition and when the exhibition closed and the
Now THERE's a sad story!! I've done a number of pieces which I would
like to display or to even enter in competitions, and because of my own
reluctance to put my long and hard work up for grabs (in a
worst-case-scenerio) I have not done so. However, I must add that if I
ever (in my dreams!!)
Interesting. There is a very famous university in these parts, which has an
art museum. It recently loaned a painting, valued at a few million, to
another institution. I believe it was a Leger. When the painting was
returned, its home museum didn't unpack the crate for a few months. When

I suspect you could rule out both Mary (widow) and Elizabeth who is listed
as married, as these two would have been Mrs. Warren.
