Dear Janice, Hey David, when you start the poppies piece, can you send us updates with photos, especially one of the finished lace that we can put with the book. There are so many wonderful pieces in the small book and I will definitely be using it for show and tell during the beginning

Dear David, Okay, no working diagrams but how about telling us if you experience any difficulties or places where you had to fudge it. Can we expect a finished photo by Christmas? Enjoy your vacation in Fiji and avoid getting beaten up. Janice Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest

I can usually figure out a pattern from the finished lace picture. I like to see how dense the cloth stitch areas should be and if there is something unexpected in the pattern. I know I could choose my own preference for that, but I still like to see the photo. I am sure David will oblige

I just noticed that the texture on my plastic wastebasket is an enlargement of needle-made lace, sufficiently detailed that I can tell that the needle in question was in an embroidery machine. They must have scanned a piece of chemical lace to create the design. The effect is similar to the

I'm going out on a limb here...I believe that having the last pattern designed by Joyce Symes presented without a picture or a diagram is because this lovely lady's work was sadly interrupted, and unfinished! Therefore, it is up to the experienced Floral Bucks devotees who buy this book

Dear thread users, When I wrote about the effect of dyes on thread fibers, I expected to start a discussion, and have been successful. I know you both (and many others) have much experience, with threads and dyes. When I joined the Embroiderers' Guild of America in 1968, some of the
