Hi All, I got Greet Rome-Verbeylen's book "Lierse kant oud en nieuw" (Lace from Lier: Old and New) ISBN 90-73214-87-4 in Denver. It's really fantastic. I haven't taken a class but after the rave reviews on arachne I thought I'd better buy the book so I'll be ready if the Lier "bug" bites <G>. However, I love all the designs in the book so it's wonderful eye candy for now. Greet is an amazing designer. She had a spectacular piece in the exhibit room in Denver with four mountains in the background (snow capped) and Columbine flowers in color in front. The design is included in the Convention booklet.
The book has some beautiful traditional pieces and then some amazing modern ones. The ones that really caught my eye I will try to explain - she'll have a graceful branch with flowers and leaves and it will touch the four sides of a rectangle that would frame it. She fills in the background (and edge) between the branch and rectangle but only in two corners so the rest of the "frame" is not there. I hope that is understandable <G>. I've always loved designs that jump out of the frame and this is an interesting variation on that theme. Jane in Vermont, USA who finally has a chance to write some e-mails!
