I am Helen's Mother, and thanks for the nice words about the Bucks Fan. It was made from a Springett pattern. I felt, afterwards, that the thread should have been a bit finer - but I feel that way with all Bucks Point.! 50 cotton seems a bit heavy. - Just my personal view.
It has been a tradition, in our family, that girls get a piece of lace for their 21st birthday (since the family were lacemakers living around Bedford), and I asked Helen what she would like. The fan is her choice. I followed the instructions that came with the pricking, and had no trouble making it, though I do not make a lot of Bucks Pt. I felt a bit daunted at the beginning, but gained confidence as I went along. This is what I have found with all the Springett patterns - they work - easily! Always a help.!!! :)) (Usual disclaimers!) from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
