In the spirit of sharing ...  A delightful lace blog is produced by Sr. Madeleine, an American Sister from Cape Cod Massachusetts, who is a valued member of The New England Lace Group. It is titled Sr. Madeleine's Bruges Journal.
This is recommended reading, going backward for several years. Not every entry is about lace, but just skip along and you will find some enjoyable information to contemplate. It is a lovely overview for all who love lace. This is particularly recommended to those who will be attending the World Lace Congress Brugge 2018. (Her most recent postings are about her recent trip to Ireland.)  Sr. Madeleine will be one of the volunteers you may meet at the Congress, and those taking the tour will probably meet her at the Beguinage in Bruges.  >From her writings you will gain insight into traditional uses of laces in Europe. Her words are more gently personal and charming than advertising and professional promotions could ever be.   Please comment, so others will be encouraged to read what you enjoyed.  www.belgianprayersandlace.wordpress.com  (Spelling for this location depends on whether you are using Flemish or French. This explains spellings of Bruges and Brugges above.)  Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
