Hello Jean
Oh yes the lovely Joyce, I also attended a number of courses with her - she
was a joy to know and so much fun. I will be purchasing a book even though
I've probably got most of the design as Joyce was ever generous.
I also knew Margaret Tite and what a lovely 'lady' she was too.
The world is a poorer place without these two ladies - but thank you for
bringing back some lovely memories.

Subject: [lace] New book of floral Bucks Point patterns
Dear all,
I have checked with Avital and she is happy for me to announce that I have
just published a book of floral Bucks Point patterns designed by Joyce
Symes, a British lace maker and teacher, who died from breast cancer some
years ago. I went to several weekend courses with Joyce when I fairly new
to lacemaking and was saddened by her death. When I later heard that
Joyce's daughter Maggy wanted to publish her mother's patterns to raise
money for cancer research, I was pleased to be able to help her. For
various reasons it has taken rather a long time to get the patterns into
print but now that the book is here I hope that it will be enjoyed by all
lovers of Bucks Point lace.
All the profits Maggy and I make from the sale of the book will be donated
to further cancer research.
You can find out more about the book and how to order it online on my
website at
