Congratulations to all the winners who came up with some innovative ideas. I was surprised to also read the article about the Canberra Lacemaker's Association celebrating 30 years of existence on page 12. I was a participant of that group for a few years when DH & I lived there in the early 1980's. Sadly I found the article a little disappointing in that not a single member's name is mentioned. My cousin Jenny Rees, whose wattle flower design was used to design 2 sets of jabot & cuffs for use at the Australian Parliament , is only refered to as a "local lacemaker" & no photos of the jabot & cuffs are included. I googled the group's name & couldn't find a website at all. I'm hoping that there will be a more informative article with photos in a future issue of 'Australian Lace'. I might even have to search through old issues. I was a newsletter editor for the New England Lace Group for 6 years, & I always made sure that names were included & spelt correctly in any article that I published. But whenever I receive the "Australian Lace" there are articles written where the lacemakers are only referred to by their first names. I feel that I have to ask "Why do they do this?" I can understand the need for privacy, but these lace magazines should be regarded as historical documents & therefore include as much information as possible. What do other lacemakers think? I'll step down from my soapbox now. Pene in Tartu, Estonia - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
