Hi All
Recent messages have made me realise just how guilty I am of Lurking. I've been
on the list since 1996 and have hardly posted at all for the last few years. So

I started with various types of lace from various books, not realising there
were any particular styles. Torchon wasn't included. Now that I started
teaching I start with Torchon after a few simple braids.

As a lurker, I'll chime in on this one as I'm an ex bookcover maker.
Weronika, you're right in thinking that lace is too fragile to be wrapped
around the bottom of a book cover and slid over a shelf. So just skip the
edges!. When I had art, or fragile fabric to use for a turned edge (glued)

The Lace Museum at Honiton is a must for anyone who can fit it in to
their trip to Devon (UK). My DH doesn't (and won't!) make lace but he
was fascinated by the quality of the lace and the exhibition thereof. -
Of course I was in heaven!
The museum is small and includes details of local history

Dear Arachnids
When I was in UK over August I visited the Fan Museum in Greenwich. There
were no lace fans on display at that time, as they were having another

I loved visiting the Honiton museum. I've heard the museum has been

changed. When I was there, there was a room devoted to the lace, and
such a spectacle I spent so much time in there! Just before
