Actually, quite a few years ago when she had only published three of
four of her books, I wrote to her and encouraged her to do something
with bobbin lace. She replied that she needed to learn more about
making bobbin lace before she attempted that, but was very interested.
She had learned about a lace day somewhere, and was planning to go to
that. Now that I mention this, I can't remember how on earth I found
her via email! Maybe she had an email address in one of her books?
So, evidently, she learned enough to write her book, but did not get
into depth. Still, I enjoyed her books for a long time. One year, my
collection of paper-back copies of her books was a raffle item at "Lace
at Sweet Briar", and if I remember correctly, there were quite a few
tickets purchased for that collection!

No, I don't think the mentions of lace in her book ring true. I do,
however, get
the impression that she is very knowledgeable about
needlepoint--yarns,
canvases, techniques, etc.

wishing a safe,
prosperous, and very happy 2011 to all fellow lace enthusiasts!

Lace in Monica Ferris books
... But, perhaps people who have read all of her
books would disagree. Do you
find that the lace details ring true in Monica
Ferris's books?
