Dear Needlelace Makers, Embroidery organizations with bulletins/magazines often publish patterns for those who make needlelaces, because they regard needlelace as being in the embroidery family (made with a threaded needle). It occurs to me that we do not take full advantage of these aids to lacemaking. For Americans, here is an example: The December 2010 issue of "Needlearts", published by The Embroiderers' Guild of America Inc. -- for members -- features on the cover a "Peaceful Dove" in Romanian Point lace, designed by Sylvia Murariu. There are 7 pages of instructions. It is a very graceful and elegant design. Here is a sharing opportunity. If there is a member of your lace guild/group that also holds membership in EGA, you might ask if they would bring this issue to your next meeting. If you have already mastered Romanian Point lace, why not bring examples for show-and-tell? Better yet, you might share your Romanian Point lace expertise with the local EGA chapter.
