Hi Sherry
I agree that the lace issue is worth having!
BTW, The Wedding dress was not Carrickmacross lace, but the Carrickmacross
technique of appliqué was used to transfer the machine made motifs in the
lace to the tulle of the dress.
Brenda posted this url last week which is a video clip of the making of the
dress

Subject: [lace] Piecework magazine/ Carrickmacross Lace
I thought I would let you all know with the talk of the Royal Wedding
dress
(which I didn't think the lace looked like Carrickmacross to me) bring me to
the May/June issue of "Piecework" magazine
Years ago I took a lace
class of Carrickmacross Lace with Mary Shields in Ithaca, N.Y.
After
that class Mary had said she would love to have a lace bobbin painted by me.
In exchange she said she would design a Carrickmacross pattern for me that I
could use to make a pin. Imagine my surprise when I got a pattern in the
mail
along with the material I needed to finish it along with fan sticks to frame
my lace into and make a pin. Since seeing the article in the magazine it is
making me think of making that pin. There is the letter "S" in the middle
for
my first name.
This email was intended to share with you all
about the Carrickmacross lace that was featured in "Piecework" magazine.
Wind To Thy Wings,
Sherry
