Dear friends
I just have to write with a little boast that my lace has been chosen for the
front cover of this quarter's Lace. I am also flattered by a double colour
page in the magazine as well. The work was produced for my City and Guild Part
I, which I completed last year and was
Hi Bev et al,
I went to day for the first of a series (I hope!) of private lessons with a
new student, who, when I asked over the phone if she'd done any lace, said
she hadn't, but she had a pillow, several bobbins, and some thread.
Anyway - I decided to take her a pillow with my 'bandage'
Subject: Re: [lace] future is now (lacemaking)
The September issue of Kant, the Belgian lace magazine, has just arrived
here. It seems that the problem with lacemakers being advanced in years is
a geographical problem and not a lace problem. There is an article about
the 25 th Bruge lace
Weronica,
Recently, you inquired about covering books with lace.
On the last page of the November/December 2005 issue of PieceWork (knitted
dolls on cover) there is a photo of two blank books that have been covered with
lace. The ones shown were made with part of an antique embroidered linen
In my early teens I ws enchanted with crochet and knitting - learned both of
them mostly from old and inadequate how-to directions. My mother knew a little
about crochet but that was all the other help I had.. Then in 1950 (I think)
an article on bobbin lacemaking appeared in Woman's Day
I have been offering and teaching tatting and bobbin lace through the local
college. I thought that I would only get a few students and that they would
mostly be older. But that is not the way it has turned out. I have four to
eight new students at each class and they are young, 8-13years old
Congratualtions, Rosemary, on your beautiful lace, and your City Guilds
success.
You should feel very proud of yourself.
The enlargement of your piece, that was featured on the front cover, shows
how beautifully even your stitches are. I wish mine were that good!!
Very Well Done.

Karisse, where do you live? It would be ever so kind if everyone would sign
their postings with their name and where they live. I cannot believe that
the booger man will choose any one of you because you put your hometown at
the end of your posting! That used to be one of the rules given
