Hi David - This version of Miss Channer's mat outshines your first effort with the mat! Can you tell me please... aside from reducing the size and using black silk instead of white cotton, what else are you doing to work this as Chantilly rather than Bucks? I applaud anyone who can take a

Hi Sue, The Ruth Bean pattern pack contains the pricking and a picture of the finished piece. No working diagram. I have mine pricked and ready to go but then it's been that way for probably 5 years ;-) Good luck if you decide to do it! bobbi On Sat, 21 Feb 2009 21:59:00 - Sue

Rhiannon, I believe David was working on his resizing back in 2003 according to the archive- is this so? That was probably when I actually resized the pricking. I have to confess that I did it first in order that it would fit on to one A4 page :) And I'm fairly sure that I had to take it to

David, Looks like it is going to be another stunner. I am curious, can you tell me what the dimensions are for Miss Channer's mat?  It looks like you are working on a large block pillow and also that the mat fits onto one of the blocks.  I had always imagined this piece was about 2 foot long.

How terrible! It sounds as though someone is very jealous of your beautiful work, and so feels she must hurt you by hurting your lace. I guess we can be grateful that we have gifts that make us happy, while they have bad feelings that make them miserable people. Among the lacemakers I know,

I wonder if Ruth Bean realises that many of the lacemaker desperate for the mat pricking are not interested in the book which was sold separately. So printing the pricking and accompanying sheet should not be such a problem. Diana (Northamptonshire, UK) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL

Miss Channer died in March 1949. A picture of the lace does not appear in her little book 'Lace-making in the Midlands' published in 1900 but does appear in 'Practical Lacemaking' published in 1928, there is not a pricking in either. Interestingly in my first edition 'Practical Lacemaking' the
