A couple of people have asked if I will post my raffle internationally and
the answer is yes. I now have 19 names in the pot so far but will drawer it
on the 11th April.
We were on our way to visit my very sick aunt who is in a care home close by
so didn't do more than a quite look around
Please enter me in your Bucks Pattern raffle Sue. Thanks.

Hello Susan
I've been following the linen metallic thread discussions with
great interest. What sort of lace would be made with Goldschild linen
aka Londonderry or Rainbow Gallery?? I have both in my embroidery
stash neither one looks too appetizing to me, i.e thick bumpy.

Hi Susan -
Last year, I worked several pieces by Jana Novak from her Nativity
group. The thread was the Moravia linen which also has slubs, and comes
in wonderful colors. It was extremely effective, and I really enjoyed
those little projects!

It is interesting to note that two of the class descriptions emphasize the
simplicity of making bobbin lace.
Lace making is two easy stitches, combined in different ways, to create
beautiful and inspiring pieces. Come learn how simple and fun the basics can
be and discover the joy in

I completely agree with many points on here. I started lessons thinking
that if I had the first 4 all day classes which was actually the equivalent
of 10 weeks at 2 hours per week, I expected to understand how to prepare the
pillow and the bobbins and do the stitches to get started and then I
I love your description of learning to make lace, Devon.
If you like puzzles, you'll love bobbin lace. Have other textile

Hi, have I missed something? Are the raffles going on for charity? If so
which one. I would be happy to contribute to a charity raffle. Vivienne.

I used this approach in a blurb for a textile festival and I think the
'puzzle' part was off-putting. There were no takers except 1 person who had
already tried bobbin lace and wanted to attend a class of any kind of BL. I
thought the target group would be attracted to puzzle-solving. Then
Bev,
Knowing now what you do, how would you have written the blurb to get the
target group?

I took the easy way out, I didn't offer to teach at this festival again. I
would prefer candidates who weren't looking for a showy item for their money
but who were truly interested in learning.

My mantra usually sounds something like: You can make it as simple and
complesx as you want. Not as poetic as the sudoku.
Last time I demo'd I did some flanders myself as a (relatively) complex
version, and had a 3-pair try-it-your-self fish as a simple version.
Teenagers loved the fish. Adults

Hi Susan and everyone
The DMC linen floss in single strand is similar in size to Fresia 60/2 linen
and YLI Colours - it is 'ok' for bobbin lace but the strands shred easily
during work. I made a bookmark in 's Gravenmoers lace from a pattern in an
OIDFA bulletin with it, using the full 6-strands

that it could be a great book for beginners. I haven't read it cover to

HV-Garn 40/2 isn't especially fine, 21 wraps/cm, but it does (or is
that did!) come in a lot of colours. Assuming Londonderry is
Goldschild; 50/3 Nm, which = 80/3 NeL is a bit finer at 24 wraps/cm,
though the three plies will make it feel a bit sturdier.

Firstly, - congratulations to both David and Thurlow. I am sure it was a

I've used HV Garn for bobbin lace and it works just fine. But I seem to
remember hearing that it is no longer being manufactured. So enjoy what you
have while it lasts.
