Hi Arachnids,
For lace with numerous sewings I like to use Duchesse or Bruges bobbins

Honiton bobbins especially if a large number of bobbins are needed as they
are slim and one can accommodate many bobbins on the pillow.
Cool! I've never heard this before, but I always liked Baroque (especially
Bach) for studying. I always wished the UCLA Biomed library would pipe in
music--as soon as I entered the stacks my thoughts turned to Bach. Something
about the smell of the old volumes triggered that association.

That's really puzzling. I wrote this message last Wednesday, but it's just

Dear Arachne
I've just received in the past 10 minutes over 20 emails from Arachne that I've
already received. This is a sample. You can see it is post marked 8Aug but it
just arrived.

Handy Hands is a great online store.

I was noticing that I don't see square lace bobbins on ebay so I decided to

Some of you might have some of my Celtic ones that i painted years ago
