Fw: [lace] New book of floral Bucks Point patterns
Here's Jean's original email. I've been saving it until I have some time to place an order. Life is very busy at present Sue sueba...@comcast.net -Original Message- From: Jean Leader Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 2:34 PM To: lace@arachne.com Subject: [lace] New book of floral Bucks Point patterns Dear all, I have checked with Avital and she is happy for me to announce that I have just published a book of floral Bucks Point patterns designed by Joyce Symes, a British lace maker and teacher, who died from breast cancer some years ago.

Re: [lace] New book of floral Bucks Point patterns
Hello Jean Oh yes the lovely Joyce, I also attended a number of courses with her - she was a joy to know and so much fun. I will be purchasing a book even though I've probably got most of the design as Joyce was ever generous. I also knew Margaret Tite and what a lovely 'lady' she was too. The world is a poorer place without these two ladies - but thank you for bringing back some lovely memories.

Re: [lace] New book of floral Bucks Point patterns
Jean, a couple of queries about the book. One of my students wants to get back into Bucks so this is timely, but I'd like to be sure I can answer her questions. There are (..) prickings for mats, a handkerchief corner and a small motif. How many mats? Or how many prickings in total? Except for the corner and the small motif, each pricking is accompanied by a picture of the lace and the thread used, and number of bobbins needed are given where the information was available. What are the corner and small motif accompanied by? I know there's a pricking for the corner as that's on the sample pages. Many thanks, Jacquie in Lincolnshire - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com.

Jean, The two patterns from the book shown on your pdf are beautiful. Are there any diagrams in the book or is it just prickings and photos? The little doiley is something I might like to make even though I am not that keen on using lace doiley's around the house. I do have a number on show that are different types of lace, so I can use them as a teaching tool to visitors. I do get some people who ask if I made the full length Edinburgh machine lace curtains up at the windows in my living room and dining room. My Realtor boss tells me they will have to go when I want to sell my house as people like uncluttered windows these days. (I even have them in the full length windows in the garage as my Mum told me the front windows covers should all match. Does anyone else have lace in their garage? :-) --- I have checked with Avital and she is happy for me to announce that I have just published a book of floral Bucks Point patterns designed by Joyce Symes, a British lace maker and teacher, who died from breast cancer some years ago.
