Don't forget the lace makers of Portugal, there are two fishing villages (well
small towns actually) Peniche and Vila de Conde, where lace is made and is
still taught. Peniche has an annual festival for the lace (in July) when
every lace maker there, sits in the main square making lace, there is

In South Africa there is probably no more than 500 lacemakers and that is
aiming very high! So I find it difficult to believe Canada has only 500.

Neither do we in Canada have a national organisation. A national magazine in
English is privately run. Canada is a huge country geographically but not
heavily populated and especially not with lacemakers :p
I believe there about the same number of French-Canadian lacemakers in the
province of
Hi everyone, highlight to those in Canada
I have a lacemaker's table, put away - I prefer the TableMate II and the
knockoff I bought at Field's for half the price. There is one in each room
where I like to make lace :)

Hi all and especially those who responded to the video,
Daan and Alicia were thrilled by all the nice responses to the video of their

Opening sequence in this evening's episode showed Queenie sitting under a
tree, making bobbin lace on a rather flattened bolster pillow. Too quick to
take in just what she was making, or the type of bobbins. There didn't seem
to be many bobbins, but it did look as if she was actually making
Just found details of a book - 'Flora Thompson - The Story of the Lark
Rise' llustrations are listed, including Old Queenie, the beewoman and
lacemaker, 1880.
I wonder if beekeeping and lacemaking went hand-in-hand at that time?

Everything looks fairly correct except maybe the pincushion - too modern
looking. The pillow is what I'd call a plum pudding shape, not a bolster,
and is typical of the East Midlands. The bobbins are spangled bone East
Midlands type.

Hi again
Speaking of pillow storage - yes about the wreath boxes, they were
advertised at Canadian Tire, too, just around Christmas then I missed the
sale - I like fabric totes with handles too, to hang on a sturdy
coat-hanger in a closet. The plastic wreath box, ideal for a complicated
