Last year or maybe in 2002, I finished a smallish Bedfordshire project I
started with Christine Springett in ?1993 - it was a handkerchief corner that
you could almost imagine was butterfly-shaped. (Don't ever be tempted to lend
me bobbins; this project was done using borrowed bobbins and my friend was so
used to them being at my place, she lent them back to me only 3 months after
they finally went home to her). There are 3 other Bedfordshire samples still
waiting (probably for eventual cutting off rather than finishing, but I
haven't conceded defeat yet) - the oldest of these would date from the
1994-1995, now that the corner is finally off the pillow. And, only last
night, I tied off some samples I made for Pat Milne's invisible joins workshop
in ?about 1992. I'm delighted to hear that I'm such a long way short of the
record!

Thank you for the information about Barbara Fay stocking the Tonder book,
Clay. I'll be in Denmark very briefly in 10 days time and have been agonising
over being so close but it being likely impossible I would be able to obtain
the book then. If I send to Barbara Fay for it, my bobbin-lending friend will
get to open another one of my new lace goodies while I'm away. (So far, she's
getting Sally's new book, the set of 4 CD's, the Devon Trolly Lace book and,
if I can get it organised before I leave, Beryl Maw's pattern pack. Come to
think of it, would anyone else like to lend me bobbins...?)

(And Perth is still the best kept secret in Australia even if I'm leaving it
soon).
