This is listed as being for Teneriffe lace making, but I would think that it
would be very awkward to work with the frame around the outside. Looks as if
you'd be working down inside it. What are the hinges at the corners for? If
you took it out of the frame, surely it would bend at the hinges.
I've seen frames like this. The hinges make it easier to collapse the frame so
that you can release the lace when it's finished. I would guess that the rigid
external frame is for protecting the hinged part in storage and not used when
you're making the lace. The tension of Teneriffe is

Hi Jay,

Dear Antje and the list,
I usually lurk, but wanted to pipe in that it would make a lovely
addition to our archives, or to the Lace Fairy site, to amass such
glossaries of terms particular to lace in as many languages as

I was pleased to read (Sat, 08 Jul 2006) about the new revival of Shirley
Gee's play Ask for the Moon, and sorry I couldn't get to see it. I well
remember the original London production at (I think) the Hampstead Theatre.
Shirley Gee was a promising playwright of the 1970s/80s who died far too

My workshop with Ulrike Voelker suggested using a block pillow, especially as
she wanted us to do the first inch or so of point ground using 60+ pairs of

Recently someone asked about sharing a taxi ride to the hotel in Montreal as
the cost is $35 one way. I thought about searching for a limo service which

Dear Gail and Diane,
Thank you very much for your information.
From the information in the IOLI bulletin I got the impression that there
was no shuttle to the hotel, that I had to take the taxi. Didn't think to
