Re: [lace] Lace on the Great British Sewing Bee
The lady was Liz Knight who for many years was curator of the Cowper and Newton Museum in Olney and is an expert on local history and lacemaking in the area. What Liz actually said was it would take 'two whole days of continual work', to produce the piece of lace.

Hi Maureen - anybody outside the UK cannot watch the i-players on British TV, unless they download special software which makes their computer appear to be operated in the UK. I have this in the USA and was able to watch it. ttfn Jacqui currently in Florida but back in the UK next month.

Re: [lace] Lace on the Great British Sewing Bee
Hi Jacqui Sorry didn't realise that, am not technology minded. Still,it is worth watching if you can. Can't decide who will win though. For the lace subject I am currently working on some hairpin crochet and hope to finish it this afternoon.
