I totally agree with Clay. I have known Alex for many years now and her
ability to teach and explain lace techniques does not decrease. She has
taught me all types of lace over the years and yet I still find the need to
attend her workshops when I can. If I lived closer to her I am sure
I probably would buy it. Can you let us know which suppliers might be
stocking it. Obviously the Christmas Fair at Solihull would be a good
place for it to be seen, or maybe Harrogate next year. Like most things I
do like to see some before I commit myself.

As if I would suggest you 'fudge it', its called 'artistic licence'. And by

Hi Paula
All you have to do is enjoy your lacemaking. It doesnt matter which lace
you work as experience improves everyones lace. I have been lacemaking
for well over 30+ (probably nearer 40) and when I look back on the lace I
