This is to apologize if I mis-led you with my memo about the Embroiderers' Guild article regarding the museum lace collections in Nottingham: "In the current July/August 2007 issue of "Embroidery" - the official magazine of Embroiderers' Guild in the UK, there is a 6-page article starting on page 40, "Nottingham Museums". (No mention of the Trent University project.) There is also a photo and article on page 49 about a hollie point sampler in the Embroiderers' Guild collection. "Perhaps there are members of EG within UK lace clubs, and you can read their copy of the magazine for more information." --------------- As you can see, I tried to make it clear I was writing about the museums in Nottingham, not about Trent University. It was my intent to give information that would be helpful to anyone planning a visit to Nottingham - contact information that could be used while planning a visit. This was because we have (in recent years) lamented the museum situation in Nottingham -- the closing of one excellent museum being of most concern to members of Arachne. So concerned were we, that many of us participated in a letter writing campaign to save that museum. By quoting as much as possible from the EG article, I hoped it would sit in Arachne archives until someone needed to reference it for a web site or telephone number. There is so much printed reference material in my resource collection that it has become difficult to find a specific publication when a question is raised on Arachne months after it has been put in storage. Hoping all the lovely lace collections we love to visit in the UK are safe from floods this week. And also, that no lacemakers have suffered a loss from the heavy rains.
