Hi Sharon and Spiders All,
Another good source of reviews is the Lace Guild's publication, Lace - their
books are reviewed by lacemakers - members of the Lace Guild usually - so are
sometimes a bit later than those on the blurb on the covers, but I trust them
implicitly. It isn't only
The Interwoven Globe exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
is amazing. I was there on Wednesday, November 6. It’s a 6 hour round trip
train ride from my home. We were fascinated. If you go, don’t plan on
doing much else at the museum, you’ll be museumed out when you’re done.
Sue,
I think this might be a pricking I need, as I don't have one yet.
Tell how Janice.
thanks

Reference the Lace Guild , they also have second hand books on all types of
lace, well worth looking at if you are seeking a particular book.

Hi Sue
This is a sort of chemical lace - embroidery as they made in Vogtland,
Erzgebirge and in Switzerland.

Re: Bookcases to Bobbins talk on Nov. 9th.
A notice of this lace day came in from Lace News, and the speaker is given
as Graham Hundson. Sounds like a topic of interest, so I'm asking if
someone attending would write a paragraph or more about the talk for us, or
obtain something he may

using scissors would make it hand finished.

I have to say i wasn't thinking it was hand made so where did the hand

chemical lace.

Hi David,
Sue is going to send you a copy, and she may have already done so.
I get the digest so am always late with items. I had lost my file and she
kindly sent me a copy. It was designed for the IOLI convention way back in
2008, so probably 2007. I may have it filed in my old convention
Since some lacy textiles are made by very sophisticated embroidery
machines, years ago I learned more about them during embroidery study in
Europe.
The trick is that every stitch fiber's needle must penetrate another
stitch, or an item would fall apart when released from a backing
Thank you every one always interesting to hear you explain either just tiny
bits about it or some in much more detail, Brilliant.
I was never much interested in needle laces (although i did some embroidery
in my 20s and 30s) I think its partly due to my strange eye sight, but have
