Re: [lace] Tiara Leaves
One of the files mention buillion embroidery and the we think it was made in the Embroiders Guild in the UK. Lots more embroidery also on the Queen Camilla gown. I am also going to send a url of some Honiton Lace, handmade by Pat Perryman, worn by the current speaker of the House of Commons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxwFcWEMd-Y Sue Turnbull Dorset UK On 06/05/2023 17:09, Adele Shaak wrote: Good morning! Anybody else been watching the coronation? I loved the simple, elegant spray of leaves that was repeated throughout the modern-day decoration, and am wondering if anybody knows how the metal leaves were made, that formed Princess Charlotte’s headband? They do look like they might be wire tallies. It looks like the Princess of Wales was wearing something similar.

Re: [lace] Lace Advent Calendar 2021
Thank you both Jean and David, it is always a joy to see this and has given me a jolt to start work putting up some decorations. These days most of our decorations revolve around lace these days as we heath situations mean it is difficult to reach to put our normal amounts up and about. As our daughter has moved closer to us I will ask her help and we can have some girlie giggles as well. So Christmas here we come. To all my fellow arachnids may I wish you good health, good lace and good memories. Now to dig out my favourite Christmas program and let the colour and light lift your spirits.

Re: [lace] Happy Anniversary
I joined you all in 2005 to keep in touch with lacemakers after my lace teacher retired and neither she nor the class was replaced. I contined to learn and be inspired to carry on although I added tatting to my interests which I have been doing more of in recent years. I have ventured into Quilting last year to create special gifts for special people but have returned to working some lace right now. I got some UFO's completed ready for future brides and have had a big fight on my hands trying to relearn bucks point in order to work another horseshoe to match one worked in 2018. I think I am doing ok now and as long as I take it very slow and check often it is growing at last and I am going forwards more than going backward. I number of Arachnids have been a huge help in my years in the group and I thank them for the help, guidance and support at various times. I am currently working with some pretty numb fingers so it is a bigger challenge now, but good for the grey matter and finger dexterity to keep pushing. So Happy Anniversary to all on the list.
