Thanks for the Irish Lace site. What an amazing collar! While there, I looked up the Carrickmacross, and saw a fan made by Mary Shields. Well, Mary Shields is here in Melbourne, at the moment, and we spent the most marvellous day with her, yesterday. About 12 of us turned up, and had a talk-fest!! Besides showing some of our lace, Mary brought some of her Carrickmacross to show us, and after lunch gave a bit of a workshop for us. I had made some of the lace from her books, but was able to gather a host of little tips to make my work (hopefully!) better. She is the most delightful lady, and it was a privilege to be a part of the day. I also asked her to sign my copies of her book, which makes them so much more special!
