Jean Leader's Thistle Bookmark design is done. Whew-----This is the very same design that burned a part of my A_ _ and got me to go to the very try it out pillow when visiting Ithaca, New York Lace making Columbus weekend on a very public day. You see I had gone to the public day event in Ithaca with my son's ex girlfriend. I had just gotten back from doing the trip of my lifetime...going home to the land of my ancenstors which I was in the UK and Ireland for a month. So when I saw the Thistle Bookmark done in white...I was...I got to learn how to do that. So I went to the try it out pillow and the rest was history sorta speak. That very bookmark was my inspiration to learn. This bookmark has been on my pillow for about 3 years. It is the hardest piece of lace I have ever encountered. It was hard with a big (!). I love the design though..and yes, I made mistakes in the lace. I think it would have helped me alot if I had Christine Springetts' Bedfordshire Lace number two I think it was. I have this on a VCR tape that I bought from Hanson I think it was...but I don't have a VCR player anymore and I can not afford the same thing on DVDs. It is too bad I can't trade it in...I can't afford to buy the same thing again just because technology changes...if someone has a copy and is no longer using it and if it isn't too terribly expensive I would be willing to buy...but I can't afford it new. It would help me so much for I plan on doing more Bedfordshire lace in the future. Anyhow I have put pictures of the bookmark up on my blog along with what threads and so on... My blog url. is in my signature. The lace was made using black threads with metallics. I hope you will take the time to go and look at it and tell me what you think. I know Jean Leader has been away..and I hope she also sees it when she gets back. I would love to hear from her. So let me know what you all think.
