We are back home at last, after nearly 3 weeks in USA.
The first week was at Convention in Portland, and I thoroughly enjoyed every
moment.
Congratulations to the Portland Lace Group who hosted the event.
Also a big Thank You to everyone I met there for their friendship. My

Dear Friends,
Earlier this week I received the book from Clay which I won in the
raffle. It's fabulous and I shall shortly have a go at some of the
designs - not Kitsch at all.
In the meantime, my crocheting sister Jenny has decided she would
like a Winder as well. I am wondering whether anyo
What made you want to make lace? Where did your inspiration to make lace come
from? Was it family? Or looking at a book? Seeing it be demonstrated? What is
your story?
Mine story is this:
I have always admired pictures of lace in books. I have always said to
myself...I wish I could make tha
In the US, we call that sort of nylon jacket a "windbreaker". "English"
is amazing, isn't it? (-:

Well said. We all have patience for those things we enjoy, no matter how time
consuming or complex, no matter how many steps. I suspect, "I don't have the
patience," or, "It's too tedious," is really code for, "I can't do that, it's
too hard." Lacemaking is not that hard in the beginning. Fo
I have been interested in the response people have for the ever-present
comment, "I don't have the patience...". Rather than argue with them, I
tell them that for me, this is an activity I can enjoy for hours and
hours. Then I tell them, "What takes patience, for me, is cleaning the
bathroom.
Brava, Susan...Well, said!

Hmm. I would like to see a pattern with a lot of bobbins that you can
shuffle through real fast. What was this pattern like? It sounds like a real
prize pattern.
My pattern didn't have many bobbins. It was tape lace and had sewings, but
they went fast.

This thread (!) has brightened up a couple of dull days at work. My reason
for doing lace (and knitting and crochet for that matter) is the fascination
and power that comes from taking a ball of thread and making something
beautiful or useful (or both) with it.

Dear Friends,
I've just been looking at Mark's goodies and am now wondering.
can someone please tell me if an American "sweatshirt" is the same as
what we in Australia call a "windcheater". Looks like it to me. If
so, I'll be getting one.
thanks

Bobbin lace will never be as popular as cross stitch. Or as knitting. In
America it has NO background, except is small pockets, perhaps, and I've never
