[lace] Xmas Card Exchange
I have just received 2 lovely cards with gifts inside. Very many thanks to Agnes B. For the card with bookmark and the pricking, too. It is a wide piece of torchon type lace, beautifully worked, and will be treasured. Thank you, Agnes. I also received my 2nd exchange card â from Lin H,. The card is decorated with a hand-crafted candle, and holly, and inside there was a lace tool â a fine pin lifter/pusher- of a sort I have not seen before. Very many thanks, Lin, - and I can assure you the tool will be working hard very soon!!! May I ask what thread you used for the candle, please? It is so pretty, and has a lovely feel to it!! My cards are in the post â and should be arriving about now, hopefully! Regards from Liz.

[lace] Xmas-card exchange
Dear all -- Please take a minute or two and walk with me around Robin Hood's barn; I am just dying to share this experience. Some years ago, at a meeting of our local EGA chapter (embroiderers), I was impelled by some absolutely mysterious and unforeseen urge, to approach one of our members, a gifted embroiderer, and suggest that she take a workshop to learn how to make lace. She and I had only recently become acquainted; I doubt if it had ever occurred to her that lace was being made, or at least being handmade; and when the words were out of my mouth, we two beheld each other in some astonishment. But the mysterious urge apparently leaped from me to her; there was an upcoming lace workshop shortly, leaving just enough time for her to learn to twist and cross and buy some bobbins; and she plunged bravely into that workshop. Not long after that, she left our part of the country. Next thing I knew, my little daughter-in-lace had become an arachnid, and so we stayed in occasional touch. This morning's mail brought me a card from our Arachne Christmas-card exchange, a beautiful lace candle, exquisitely made in white and gold, with the flame done in the most perfect half-stitch I have ever seen. And by the same mysterious chance that had produced that fledgling lacemaker some years earlier, who was the maker of this beautiful piece of lace? None other than my above-described daughter-in-lace, randomly assigned to me in the card exchange. Not-so-by-the-way, the maker of that beautiful candle is Barbara Joyce. Fate? Destiny? Coincidence? Barbara, thank you again and again for the lovely card!
