Subject: [lace] UK Lace #140

Yesterday I received my copy of "Lace" #140 & I enjoyed looking at 
photos of this year's competition entries. 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historical documents & therefore include as much information as 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.
