Our lace group recently finished a great lace project : a table-mat for the table of the marriage room of our town hall. I designed the lace (about 4m/1m) and we worked on it together with 16 other lacers. It took about 2500 hours to make it and we pass it to the local authorities in June.

Luiduina, the table-mat is stunning! The lace itself is perfectly beautiful, and when I think of the job of mounting it - so perfectly at that - I am overwhelmed!! You are all to be congratulated!! I am familiar with The Tournament... it is clear to me that you don't want to see your

Lisuina, what a magnificent piece! After talking up Jeri Ames's suggestion and clicking right through the suite, I just had to get more information, and being similarly language-challenged, I placed the site www.athdentelle.be address in an on-line translator http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and

I have been working exclusively on my Ipswich edging. I now have 94 inches. I don't have a goal, but three yards would probably be a long enough length to do something with it. I have an itch to start some 's Gravenmoerse bookmarks again to keep on hand for gifts. I've been busy

I am about to start winding some 200 pairs of bobbins for my next project - for UK 7 competition. I just received the thread - a Finca lace thread - white - SO white it almost has a blue-ish tinge to it. I am just hoping it will be the same colour when the project is finished! :) I

As some of you know, I have been trying to piece together what information exists on lacemaking in New France and later Canada. Some of you may even have heard my talk at this summer's IOLI convention in Montreal. Now I'm trying to get governmental academic funding to do the research in earnest.
