Hi there
I think Central Scotland Lacemaking Supplies used to stock this one.
It's a few years since I saw their catalogue, so I don't know if they still
do.

What do you do with your prickings?
I have been making lace since 1 April 2005 and have held on to all the
prickings since then, including the ones I have prepared but not used. The
pile is getting rather unwieldy now.

Central Scotland Lace Supplies do have 11 different Bucks Point book marks,
and, to my untrained-in-Bucks-Point eye, I'd say that a few of them have the
aconite motif in them. They can be viewed at:

Hello Jenny
I used to do that, then realised that, apart from the tiny 'bookmarks'
I use for trying out different threads, I was very unlikely to use a
pricking again so I threw them away. Proper card ones went into the
re-cycling bin but those with blue film on had to go into the general
What do you do with used prickings?
If you belong to a group or class, try passing them to others (depending
on their condition, of course).
Especially beginners may be very grateful.

Hi spiders,
I'm giving a talk about lace next week. It is women's club (no males
admitted). I'd like to know approximately how many lacemakers there are in
the world. Like how many came up at the Lace magazine census? How many
belong to OIDFA? How many are there in different countries like
I have a wide three ring binder, with those acid-free clear plastic (not
actually plastic, maybe acetate?) sleeves. From the beginning (with the
advice of my first lace teacher), when I worked a pattern, I put the
original drawing, pattern, any written info gleaned from working the
pattern
What do I do with prickings?
Several fat three ring binders. Each lace I try goes into the binder.
Drafts, sketches, actual pricking, 6 inch piece of the lace, notes. I like
some when I'm making them, others not. Some are too much work for the
effect. Others are simple to work and gorgeous.
I keep them in files, labeled by subject: general, bookmarks, Christmas,
etc.
Or if the 'original' is filed in a notebook, it goes back with the master
copy.

Hi Miriam and everyone
I think you can safely say 'thousands' of lacemakers throughout the world -
not 'tens' of thousands, but 'thousands' should cover it. There are about
500 in Canada, by my guesstimate, but let's say a thousand counting anyone
who could possibly have tried bobbin lace.

I don't have any that I 'store' any more. I kept everything over ten years,
but never went into the bulging files, drawers, boxes and binders. It was
freedom to toss the lot. I found I don't reuse a pricking if I've put it
away. I'd just as soon make another photocopy of the original, from my
Hello Katrina
Have just been catching up on the latest couple of digests and needless to
say picked up on the Ipswich lace theme and then spotted that you are from
Ipswich, Suffolk. Have you ever been along to a Suffolk Lacemakers Lace Day?
There are several held fairly close to Ipswich, ie at

Perhaps they are not in a group or in a club. Probaly great number of them
work with lace but I think we have to add them to the census.

Hi Miriam and everyone,
I can say that they exist at least 5000 lacemakers, only here in my area
of Catalunya (Spain).
Possibly the number raises up to 10.000 lacemakers, all the country
(Spain) (I have not evidence of this, this is only a supposition)
So, it is not a nonsense to speak of

Pretty much what Debbie in Florida does: keep them in binders, in those
clear plastic sleeves/pockets. By now, I have several binders: Point

Including the lacemakers in all the Americas and Spain, I stand corrected :D

The Dutch lace association had 3000 members a few years ago. The magazine is
translated into English, so there might be some duplicates with the Catalan,
but my guess 10.000 is a way too low guestimate.

Many thanks for all your replies re aconite bookmark, have not yet
managed to track it down although I now know it is based on a pattern by

Miriam, there are nearly 1000 in the Australian Lace Guild, and quite a few
others who are not members, --so I would say about 1500 in Australia, all
up.
(Gosh! our membership has dropped somewhat recently, I think.)
