Fancy Lacemaking getting to the Olympics! Wonderful!! Lace has "arrived"
( after about 500 years!!! :) )
Yes, - in answer to Alice - there were bobbins hanging from the pillow, and
the lacemaker was toying with them as she stood there, - but not making any
lace, I don't think!

Thank you to everyone who has made suggestions about the wire frames
needed for some Chrysanthemum lace.
The problem has been solved. A fellow Arachne has kindly offered to
order me a set since the shipping from Germany to UK to US is cheaper
than from Germany to US.
When they arrive, I will
Go to CBC coverage of closing ceremony. The lacemaker with a bolster is in the

Hello Beth,

The V & A lace is now âat Blythe House, just off Kensington Olympia - That
is the nearest train station.
You must liaise with them as early as possible. For a while when my
daughter was living in the UK (and just round the corner from Blythe
House), I only managed to visit once for an
Hi,
You have to get organised as the whole of the lace collection of the V has
been moved to another large house in or near London. I cannot remember the
name of it, but you have to contact the V to gain access anyway so you can

Hi fellow Arachnids,
For people living in the UK (or anyone else who can get it on their computer)
go to BBC iPlayer;- Olympic Closing Ceremony. It is about 1 hour 14 mins into
the ceremony.
Well worth having a second or third look. I think that the dancers are also
dressed as lace pillows.
I think I remember a post on Arachne a while back about a textile exhibit at
the V until the autumn, which had some lace trimmed items? Or possibly at
another London venue.
I unexpectedly have to go to London one Saturday in September & could have a
few hours free to go & see it, but my

piece of lace. Probably just the lace.
