of the difference in ticket (thickness) but we here in the UK give

Hi all. Last year I started laminating my patterns for my use. I found it

Hi, I thought some of you might be interested in people power. When we were
in Spain visiting the Finca factory we were told how it started. The Great (I

I think lots of people are running around trying to get ready for Christmas.
Also some of the lace group ladies tell me they are busy trying to sort next
years programs. I am trying to get ready for Havant and the NEC. Free gifts at
our stall for both fairs and even more at the NEC!
I know what you mean about the kit but it was the first lace pillow I ever
had. My husband was a head teacher and I was talking in his staff room about
crafts. I said I had always fancied Lace. One of his classroom assistants said

I am sad to tell you that my friend in Spain, who made beautiful lace with

Happy New Year all. I have been teaching a one handed lace maker in Spain for
a few years now. Her name is Lissette. She had very extensive breast cancer
which went untreated because of her fear. Any way she is alive and fairly well
but her right arm is only for appearance. It just about moves
Hi thanks for your interest but Lissette would not be able to put anything in
the loop, that's why she cant get a lazy susan or hook in it. You need two
hands. However please don't give up on your thinking. Do try yourself but only
with one hand. Lissette wouldn't mind how long it would take if
Hi, tried this for Lissette but too difficult. Do try when you get to the end
of a piece of lace doing it with one hand. You will see our problem!
