Greetings,
I do not usually write much as I am a lousy typist, but I thought I would mention my latest lace projects.
The strip of Sedlice lace, a Bohemian lace, in the 2004 OIDFA Bulletin#1 caught my eye since the picture and pricking were there, I decided I could try to figure it out. It became obvious that techniques I had learned from Christine Springett would probably the solution to making this lace. I just happened to have exactly 36 bobbins wound with Bouc 100 linen, which turned out to be a good weight to use. It has been a fun challenge, and I may move it up on the cookie pillow and make enough to use it on a guest towel or something.
I have finally finished the Point de Gaze fan I designed - it is being submitted to IOLI for a future issue, and decided to "back up" and do the Gros Point pattern #1 in Catherine Barley's book.
On the collecting side, I am helping to put together the new calendar from The Lace Museum and studying two strange pieces of needle lace in the museum's collection with the help of very close photography. Have a fun Summer - wish I were traveling to Europe too.
