Alix, Clay and Susan,
Thank you very much for the information on the Binche rabbit pattern. I
know that the Lace Guild has a copy of this folio so will ask if it is
available. Arachne is a wonderful source of information for lacemakers.

Hi,
Might the US corned beef be the same as salt beef here in the UK? I

the taste was similar to corned beef.

this item is. Certainly not a bobbin as we know the term and I don't
think that it has the characteristics of the type of turning called
bobbin that is used in furniture. See this chair on ebay to see what I mean.
What I have done a few times is to machine stitch around the lines of
the needlelace pattern without any thread in the machine. Granted
sometimes it is more difficult to find the same hole coming back up but
that is just as much a problem without the machine punched holes anyway.

As Jean Nathan had previously written this is a different St Catherine.
April 29th is Saint Catherine of Siena, 25 March 1347 – 29 April 1380.
The patron saint that we claim for lacemaking is Catherine of the Wheel
(Alexandria) on November 25th.

Thank you for the praise Pene. I did make the first few patterns with
the overlap at the bottom but unless I used a thicker wire it didn't
hold the shape at the base. As a tree decoration the join will not be so
obvious as one sees the ornaments further away than close up as the
