Please do check it out, because there are lots more books newly added to the
list. The Professor scanned a number of very interesting articles from the
early part of the century--you'll recognize some of the distinguished
names--and thanks to Vibeke Ervo and Karen Thompson he has just added some old pattern
books, including a lot of filet.
I have just come back from Washington and Philadelphia and have just sent him
a CD of my scannings there. We now have the complete Needle and Bobbin Club
collection, and all the lace articles will be in the lace area on the site as
soon as he gets them finished. I also scanned Mincoff and Marriage, so when
he has worked his magic on that it will also be on the site.
On another note, I have had some problems with CDs arriving damaged: not
many, but enough to make a dent in my confidence, so I may be reconsidering the
packaging I've been using to date. I will try to keep the postage costs the
same, but if I have to increase the price by a dollar or so I hope people will
understand. We have almost enough for two more CDs, but I've been holding off
publishing them until the older ones seem to have filled the market. Also, I
get pretty much overwhelmed when the orders come in for a new CD, so want to
wait until I know I'm home for a while.
My next trip, in April, is to join our dear friend Ilske at the German Lace
Guild's convention in Bad Pyrmont. I can hardly wait!
