Urban Zundt of Zundt Designs in Switzerland did a presentation at a machine
embroidery conference I attended a few years ago and some of the fabrics he
displayed created fabric that looks very similar to the effect on Mrs.
Obama's lemongrass outfit.
Lynn S coming out of lurkdom, Wollongong,
I just did a two day workshop with Barbara Underwood in Sydney and the
subject of Miss Channer's mat came up. She told the very unfortunate story
of the disappearance of the original mat made by Miss Channer. It was on
display with a furniture exhibition and when the exhibition closed and the
Brenda, If you go by your basic formula for a lace fair, we are doing
quite well in New South Wales. At our last bimonthly lace day in Sydney, we
had our usual 2 general suppliers who both carry just about everything
needed books, bobbins, threads, and both have their own specialty items as
well.
Does it ever occur to the tradition fusspots that if those women had
machines, better lighting, better pins, etc., they would not have availed
themselves of the convenience of machine sewing their lace onto garments so
they had more time to make lace?
I did a Christening gown with my handmade
I have been working on a edging for a Christening bonnet to go with a gown I

I'm just coming out of lurkdom to say what an absolute shame that everything
lacey has been given away. I didn't become interested in lace until 1976
and didn't start making it until 1995. When I went back to Canada to visit
my father's family in 2002, I was making lace at may travel pillow,
Sue, found my silver wire from Lenka still in its pouch - fine silver
(0.999) wire AWG 30

My mom and her hubbie recently visited a lace museum at Luton in the UK.

My mother's Singer had a buttonhole attachment. She got the machine for a
wedding present in 1953. I used the same buttonhole attachment on my Singer
25 years later, and now it is used on my Elna Carina, which has the cams.
As Australia's power is different, I passed the machine to my mom,
I think shuttles have been used for centuries on fishing vessels to make and
mend nets. Did the firsherman get the idea from his lacemaking wife, or did
she get the idea from him all those years ago.

Noelene, the difference in measurements for houses still confuses me, it
is square feet in Canada, rather than square metres, and although your
house is big, I don't think it takes up the entire hilltop, it just seems
that way.
