Thanks Geri for your email about Maltese lace. This collar could have been silk and
it was creamy in color. The threads did have a shine to them. The color was very

Hi David -
I remember a year or two ago someone needed a translation
and it was promptly offered up by someone else who had gone
to one of the web translation sites. It was a clumsy
translation, to say the least. So when I read your note, I
was skeptical. I went to Babblefish, and typed in

That should have been I would love to get my hands on a pattern for a Maltese collar.

A bit later than expected, but I've finally got the technical problems
sorted and have updated my website and changed the lace pattern. There
was only one vote for the rose hankie and the other votes were 2:1 in
favour of the spiderweb oval edging so that's what it is now.

Hi all,
Just adding my 2 cents worth, as I've been following the ping pong on
pre pricking or not to pre prick, and I have to admit to being one of
the lazy lacemakers, who pricks as I go.
However, I did learn my lacemaking in a very traditional way from Mum,
and was taught to copy to tracing
Dear Lacers,
May I prevail upon those of you in the tatting circles for some help? I have
been contacted with a request for a tatting teacher in the Houston, TX area.

out of circulation for a bit!)
Please reply

Hello Maltese lace fans,
I also love Maltese lace, same as Robin. And last year a friend of mine, a
bobbinlacer too, happend to travel to Malta for her holidays. So she bought
both books by Consiglia for me. I am going to give you a small review of
them, in case you want to get them.

Just another good book for a novice lacemaker - Pam Nottingham's
Technique of Bobbin Lace (the one with torchon, beds, bucks and a touch
of Honiton). It's a wonderful book, and a good reference.
You can also try your local library to see what they have, as well as
what they can get on

Hello Spiders,
I am also a very big fan of Maltese lace. It is probably my favourite,
stemming from inheriting a collar and a flounce from my grandmother, both
of which I used in my wedding gown. I have managed to do a Maltese cross
but haven't gotten any further - though I have plans for
