While we were away visiting my Mum in her sheltered housing complex they had a function with a raffle and other prize things happening and were talking about holding another one in the spring. I offered to make a couple of lace bookmarks for them as a couple of prizes and although I am not ready to begin working on them yet I thought I would take this opportunity to ask for ideas. Anything lace and nice looking is great for the ladies, but if a man were to win one and want to use himself to keep the place in his book, what style might they prefer. We have some gentlemen lacemakers and also lots of ladies who may have made something with the gents in mind. I have several of the luton lace dealer patterns (and she lives in Luton), plus bucks types and the english lace guild book of bookmarks as well as several simple ones with a train engine worked as part of the pattern which have been available over the internet which might be novel. Comments and ideas very welcome. Sue T Dorset UK in the sunshine after a very wet week away from home. Just about to start a large star pattern which might work as part of our local christmas decorations.
