The list seems very quiet - I've not seen a message since Friday- so this is a test to see if things are working. Lace content: in between clearing my garden shed (to be demolished today) I've been working on my latest lace project: I've adapted the wide insertion from the latest set of

Hi Beth. I think that things work. But, I suppose that the good spring weather has driven us away from the computer... We have had such a long and cold winter in Spain, that we are enjoying the sun as soon as it rises. But... I keep making lace. And your Cluny project looks magnific. You remind

Hi Beth - You're right, the list has been quiet! Last week, it was *so* quiet that I went to the archives to check and see if there had been any posts I had missed. Well... in fact, there had been... I had missed an entire week of Arachne! (I've been busy, so hadn't really had time

I sent an email to the site listed as that of the Honiton Lace Shop, but did not receive a reply. Does anyone have any up to date information about this business? I gather that the shop in Honiton was closed. My impression is that the restaurant with a lace theme that was planned, does not

Welcome Janet, I'm a newbie to Bobbin Lace (approx. 6 months) and joined this list right at the start of my BL adventure.  I love the rhythm and relaxation that comes with lace making.  So many wonderful things to learn within this group.  I've been a lace knitter and tatter for many years and am

Janet, Welcome! I have only been a member of the group for about 6 months but I have really learned a lot. I agree with you about the relaxation. I think that the rhythm makes it a sort of meditation. Of course if I let my self meditate too much I end up un-lacing! Liz from Raleigh where

I saw a book on the bargain table called Laced so of course I had to buy it. It's by Carol Higgins Clark. A lacemaker, who was also a housekeeper, made a tablecloth but was never paid. She died and haunted the castle where she worked and the tablecloth still resided. It's a light, quick read.

Hi Janet and Norma, Welcome to the list.  It is usually a lot busier than of late.  Maybe you can think of a question to ask to generate some mail.  I get the digests and before the one today, the previous one was last Thursday! Next Saturday I will be teaching 4 or 5 new lacemakers at our lace
