I would be interested in seeing the thistle
bookmark made up in white or colours. It may even
convert me to bobbinlace.

Hi Rochelle,
I have now seen 3 different Thistle Bookmarks in color: Patricia Dowden's
with very clear and warm colors, one at IOLI Convention in Harrisburg done
in pastels, and the one I made in brighter colors. Unfortunately, I left it
in a library book (I think) I've not seen it since. At I hope it's

Hello,
The webpage for the Pacific Northwest Lace Conference
is now mostly working. (Sorry, the registration form
is still not quite all there.) Interested lacemakers
can peruse the classes and other details.
Registration won't start until March 1.
Good job, Alice!
I notice it is better to view the site using Explorer rather than
Netscape. Some of the frames are on top of each other in the latter.
very best wishes

Hello Alice
The frames are all on top of each other in Safari and Foxfire too.
The homepage also has dozens of validation errors - maybe you could let
the webmaster know. You don't want to put people off because they
couldn't see the registration forms!
Hope you have a great conference
I have come across a lovely example of drawn-work on eBay (my eye is not that
sophisticated in this area, so I hope more knowledgeable spiders will bring me
up to speed). The item is described as a handkerchief, and the seller
suggests that it may have been a wedding handkerchief. But I

Hi, Clay.
Your tinyurl didn't want to work, but I did find the hankie you were
referring to, by doing a search on ebay. It is a very pretty piece of work,
indeed. And it definitely looks like drawn-thread embroidery. I don't know
why the seller would refer to it as Scandinavian, though, unless
Beautiful cloth! This is indeed drawnwork, and very
well done.
I don't see it as a hanky, but as a table centerpiece,
but it may well have been a wedding gift. This type
of work does not show off well if gathered, like a
hanky would be when carried. It needs to lie out
flat. And showing off

have deep green, some yellowish-green, some gray-green, and some bright
green. There's one species found in southern California (I think it's

Hi, I made a Beds fan in colors. The traditional
Beds methods do not translate readily to colors, so
adaptations must be made. I had to have one color
just cross under a trail to continue on the other side
instead of trading pairs with the trail. There was
also extra starting and stopping of
