I hope you who are in the U.K. belong to this excellent organization (which is a registered charity and a registered museum) and get this publication, because it is excellent. The bulletins run to over 60 pages, have some color photography, and there are always reports on lace days, courses offered by various groups, exhibition notices, long letters that are interesting and illustrated from members, educational articles (including by members of Arachne), several pages of book reviews, patterns and prickings and pictures of finished laces, and advertisements that help you find people who provide supplies in the U.K. One of the better events for me each year is the early morning telephone call (in late Summer) to The Lace Guild staff to renew membership for yet another year and to place orders for commemorative bobbins and The Lace Guild's annual calendar (to give as gifts to special friends). I do not like to send credit card info, and really love having a brief once-a-year chat. http://www.laceguild.org Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
