[lace] anyone know of the new lace pattern kit club?

I hear that Biggins is to introduce a pattern kit of the month on a basis such as the monthly bobbin club they already have. I believe it is to be a pattern plus threads package. Does anyone know about it and what it entails? Rikki - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing

Re: [lace] Bookmarks - from a newby

[lace] Bookmarks

Hello Spiders, I was paired with Holly Anne in California and was foolish enough to send two bookmarks, one bobbin lace and I believe one was tatted, to her after very nice postings between us. She notified me that she received them, but that was it. I did not receive a bookmark from her. She

A woman in the USA is crocheting my grandfather's baby bonnet and tells me that over there Coats no longer make the thread I recommended, which was Coats-Mercer crochet cotton #40. It seems that Coats have renamed their crochet threads Floretta and Eldorado. ... Just thought I'd mention that
