But wouldn't these thorns be awfully thick?

In England, no. However, several species of Acacia (trees) and some other
"exotic" plants have thorns over 1 inch (2.5 c

Hello All! The Queen's outfit is stunning! Good use of neutral & dark
chocolate, set off by the texture of the lace. Fresh & springy without being
pastel. Does she have a new designer? This one's a winner. Janice--so glad
to know I'm not the only person who had lace curtains in the garage!
I missed the original post (obviously), so better understand your query.
It seems like in the main, you need something soft to anchor the needle,
harder surround to keep it contained, and some rigging to anchor all.

comes to mind is Craft Foam (in UK, I think it is called Fun Foam), coiled a
In the US the Hawthorne tree has thorns about an inch. I have one so I see
if I can struggle through the wild roses this weekend and take a look. I
don't think the tree is in good shape as it has old man's beard moss growing
all over it. If I get there, I'll clip the thorns.

Dear Royal Watchers,
Although I did not get as close to the motifs as would be desirable, the
flowers look to me as if they are made like Richelieu embroidery -- in this
case, embroidered with a reinforcing stitch (buttonhole or similar) around
petal shapes that have been drawn on an evenwe
Jean,
The two patterns from the book shown on your pdf are beautiful. Are there any
diagrams in the book or is it just prickings and photos?
The little doiley is something I might like to make even though I am not that
keen on using lace doiley's around the house. I do have a number on show th
Hi David.
Ouch! The best way of removing hooks is for the medical expert to to slide
an implement along it so it works like a reverse shoe horn. Don't do it
again

Oh Alex!!!
Take care everyone and if you have an accident with a tambour hook do not try
to remove it yourself, you need to seek help from a medical expert.

My students were talking about this in class last night, so thanks for the
link to the picture. Someone thought it might be Irish crochet.
Then as I was driving home, listening to the news, the BBC described it as
"hand embroidered".

Thank you all for the many suggestions. Let me elucidate a little about
Malvary's request for a cover for my pricker needle.
As she said, the dense styrofoam doesn't stay on reliably, the cork (which
was from a pressurised Cava bottle) also slips off when you're not expecting
it to; ouch. Alt
Jean,
a couple of queries about the book. One of my students wants to get back
into Bucks so this is timely, but I'd like to be sure I can answer her
questions.
"There are (..) prickings for mats, a handkerchief corner and a small
motif."
How many mats? Or how many prickings in total?

Oh yes the lovely Joyce, I also attended a number of courses with her - she
was a joy to know and so much fun. I will be purchasing a book even though
I've probably got most of the design as Joyce was ever generous.
I also knew Margaret Tite and what a lovely 'lady' she was too.
