Good morning All,
Whatever the story behind this bobbin, it is certainly very beautiful.
The story that was suggested may not be too far off the mark. It would
certainly not be one of a bucketload that was made to commemorate a
single engagement during the early days of the First World War.
Sorry for the request here but I just got some wonderful
bobbins from a lovely lacer in Australia and they are
made by Max Meier. I understand his wife is on Arachne.
If so could you please contact me?
I'm interested in buying some more. Thanks!

Dear Friends,
I was just going through my books and realized that there is a Liz Bartlett
who is teaching at the IOLI Convention and that the book Lace Villages was
written by a Liz Bartlett. Are they one and the same?
Quite a few years ago I think she had a slide show about the Lace Villages

how people who collect and people who are museum donors impact museums. The
other lesson to be learned is that when people who distinguish themselves as art

Well, speaking of educating oneself in lace identification (Robin Panza,
earlier today), I would like to draw Arachne attention to a beautiful, wonderful,
gorgeous book, Lace, by Fulvia Lewis. Why this book isn't better known is a
total mystery to me. It isn't a new book, it was published in
