[lace] An interesting Blog to read
Dear Arachnean friends, I would just like to share with you an interesting blog that I've been reading for the past year. The blogger is a 51 year-old American woman who lives in the south of France loves antiques. You can find it here: http://willows95988.typepad.com/tongue_cheek/ Her recent post for 4th May has a lovely photo of some of the old lace that she collects, but it is what she says that is also applicable to me. I'm sure there are many others who have also followed their hearts. When I have time I also read some of the lace blogs. How about sharing on the list your favourite lace blog, if you read any.

[lace] New book by Rosemary Shepherd
Dear fellow Arachneans, I think some fellow lacemakers would be interested to hear about a new book written self-published by Rosemary Shepherd. It is being officially launched next week at the Power House Museum in Sydney, Australia. It is called An Early Lace Workbook more information can be found at Rosemary's web-page: http://www.lacedaisypress.com.au/ http://www.lacedaisypress.com.au/pubs1.html under Publications. I have a .pdf that Rosemary sent me which I can forward onto anybody who would like to read about the book. I'm looking forward to receiving a copy of the book soon.

Listed as: Lace making equipment? 19th Century Item number 370197426194 http://tinyurl.com/c2afhn There's no scale, but I showed this to DH, and his immediate reaction was the same as mine - studs for old -fashioned leather football (soccer) boots.

Great work David. Congratulations. All those bobbins on your pillow, WOW. And I groan when I have 75 pairs on my pillow. Guess I'll never get around to making such a big project. Wonderful Work.

Re: [lace] Miss Channers Mat
Learning to manage bobbins is one of the joys of lacemaking! I found that when lots of bobbins are required, a larger pillow is definitely advantageous. A 24 pillow gives you lots of room to work, with plenty of space to stack bobbins out of the way. So... never say never... just get a bigger pillow!! ; ) Clay Miriam wrote: Great work David.
