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...?)
