Lyn you ar so right about the US. I have been demonstrating here in the US for
many many years and it is fun when people come up to my pillow and a look of
awe comes over their face. I have gotten quite a few interested in lacemaking
doing demos around the south eastern part of Pennsylvania.
Great Idea! I knew someone years ago who did not have glass beads so she took
her husbands stash of sinkers from his fishing tackle and his washers from his
tool chest. I always say what ever works!! LOL

I attended the very first Sweet Briar and took S'Gravenmore (forgive spelling
if not right). I had a fabulous time and hope to make it down again in the
near future. It was more relaxing to do lacemaking there. And the location is
peaceful.
I will put the people in your area in my prayers.
oh my!! I would love to do that too!!! Wow!! what an awesom experience!!

I live in the middle of Amish Country Lancaster county, PA ...born and

And years ago an Amish landlord.
We have a lot of wonderful stuff here to see in Lancaster county. We now also
have a large convention
I made a bolster pillow many years ago for my reenacting... My Landlord is a
dairy farmer and I asked them what has the least dust and they recommended I
use barley... So I went into my landlords haymow, it was filled to the
rafters on one side with barley.. In mid August I did this too and
what are the dimensions of your pillow?

I think when we demo we should have a pillow with us that has a very small
piece on with as little bobbins as we can get away with. Also have a pillow
with a larger piece, one that we normally do while doing demos. Maybe let them
have a try at the small one and see how really simple it can

that is a great idea. It is a form of weaving and we should demo modern,
colorful bookmarks or motifs or jewelry something that will be used and
worn everyday. And the jewelry will catch the eye of the younger generations...

How
I can see why in the 19th century they would say this. The lacemakers were
fighting for their livelyhood. And were trying to save their jobs with the
machines now making lace and the customers turning to other cheaper lacesI
guess this was said to try and keep their customers...

when I gave it some thought I really hated dressing the loom when I did I
usually did more than one thing with one warp If I get back into it I may

things.. I feel your definition sounds good to me... There are so many types
they call lace... and some say there are only 2 true laces
i too can not seem to find where to download the patterns... I am not great
with computers either... any help will be appreciated...
