Hi Sue and Fellow Arachnids, Thank you very much for sharing your lovely work with us. The Christmas comet is beautiful as are the other pieces on your photo album and I so agree with you about colours in the dark ages. Bright colours were difficult to achieve and would only be worn by the rich. Not only that, the washing methods used would soon bash the colours out of the clothes as well as the fact that poor people would either have to make what they wore or had their clothes second hand if they were lucky (more likely 5th or 6th hand if they were very poor).
I would also like to thank Clay and Janice for hosting the site and keeping it running as well as Avital for keeping us on our toes. Can I send a donation via Paypal to help towards the costs? Happy lace making, Joepie. ----Original message---- >From : [email protected] I still have to mount it in its frame, but Iââ¬â¢ve posted some photos of it on the pillow on Flickr. The pattern is by Renate Richter, and was apparently published in the German ANNA magazine No. 11/2008, and is now available from http://www.kloeppelstube-zwoenitz.de/schweif-mit-christigeburt.html - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
