Dear Gon, This message was received in Maine. I know exactly how you feel, Gon. You take time - I am sure it is a few hours of thought, sometimes making a sample, getting instructions organized, and computer work to get each message organized and set to go. You share something that

Dear arachnians, This is just to thank Antje very much for her flattering words, but most of the merit should go to the teasurer of OIDFA in Spain, Ángel Domínguez, who is an outstanding male bobbin lace maker and an even better manager. By the way, has anyone of you thought of becoming an

Gon, Because I also receive your weekly notice, of the newest edging, along with a photo, on Facebook, I tend to compliment it there. But, I do look forward to seeing it. With intensive work on a lace bolero vest, I haven't been working on much other lace. As I approach the last portion of the

Hello Gon. I always try to keep attention on Arachne messages, and your messages with a new edging or insertion have not arrived for a long time. The fact that I haven't said anything about it does not mean that I don't miss them: I think many of us have many things to do, attend many emails a
