Dear List members,
I think perhaps a few clarifications may be helpful
Those of us concerned about the preservation of rare laces (which DO turn
up in American attics) remember nightmare stories of the people who have cut
them up to make craft items that will be relegated to trash
Hello Everybody,
First there are all the little tests when I am learning a new
technique or preparing things for a class and so on.
Second little presents, that could be eveything.
Third and important for me lace to wear, collar, sleeves, applications
on dresses or shirts or handbags or.
Hello!
Newby that I am, I wonder if anyone has any experience with selling their
lace?. And is it possible that IOLI could somehow provide links to people who
want to sell their lace, without violating its nonprofit status?
Personally speaking, I am primarily interested in using handmade lace
I make lace for fun and the challenge of different laces. Most of it is
either given away (bookmarks mostly, plus some wedding hankies or garters,
animal motifs and lace corsgaes) or goes on my demo display boards. (Yes,

It calls for a piece of lace in the neckline, but I don't know what

Hi Bev,
In answer to your question: In effect, this is a survey of sorts - to what
uses do *you* put your lace?
I like making laces that I can use. So, I have made many
-edgings for curtains: for my sitting room , for my bedroom, for the toilet,
and for a daughter's room. Also edgings for bed
One thing not mentioned yet: many times I've seen lace made for weddings --
garters, veils/headpieces, etc. I made a very large Bucks fan designed by
Bridget Cook which my daughter carried with her bouquet at her wedding. And
fans are very popular, just for display, wedding not needed.

A friend of mine makes lace edgings and uses them to frame pictures.
The mat is wider than the lace, so it shows outside and inside the
edging as well as through the lace holes. It's a lovely effect.

Hi everyone - thanks ever so much for your responses so far, I will indeed
share the list 'with the list' - write to me privately if you'd rather not

Small motifs can be framed appropriately for gifts: e.g. a rabbit motif in

Hi everyone
I'm compiling a display for a group of spinners and weavers, interested in
bobbin lacemaking. I have sections broadly about traditional laces (=
antique, or remade from old lace patterns); traditional adapted (e.g.
remade using coloured threads; a new design based on traditional
The two uses I put my lace to right now are:
1) use as bookmarks
2) stick it in a plastic folder G
Hopefully that's going to change. Uses I'd like to put my lace to:
more bookmarks, accessories (jewelry etc.), decorating clothing, maybe some
home decoration...

G'day Bev
I would like to see the finished list as it may give me inspiration for
uses, would you please post it to Arachne when you can? Right now my lace
is just beginner stuff and is placed in plastic sleeves.

Dear Bev and other Spiders,
Last Sunday I spent the afternoon at a quilt show demonstrating bobbin lace,
tatting, and crochet motifs - all for the embellishment of quilts. Another
lady was messing around with beading.
Since I am not the lace/jewelry wearing type of person, I give my bobbin
I recently did a metre of heavier torchon lace in silk for a wool cape I
was making for my great nephew's Christening, (which believe it or not I
