[lace] Lace magazine - cover has inspired me to Honiton

Hi everyone. I too was thrilled to get my Lace magazine this weekend. I saw the front cover, was inspired and looked eagerly at the inside pages to see if the design was accompanied by its pattern. Sadly it wasn't, but as I read that it took the lacer (Barbara Churchward) ten years to complete I

Re: [lace] Lace magazine - cover has inspired me to Honiton

Hi Viv: I haven't seen the Lace Guild magazine yet, but as to your other questions: I'd like your ideas on the question Do I need the right equipment? I know that if I take to this particular style of lace I would, but until I know I wouldn't want to buy another pillow and a set of new bobbins.

Viv If you do want to try out Honiton without wasting money on new equipment but without hampering yourself so you give up unnecessarily, I'd suggest the following: Pillow: If you have a 16 inch domed straw pillow, use it, provided it is firm. If you want to use a slightly domed polystyrene

RE: [lace] V A Book and Postagess

Dear Sue, and others, I have ordered my copy from Amazon in US$ and it came to $38.90 plus cheapest postage (4-5 weeks) $18 so with current exchange rates of 7.1 ? as opposed to 4.1 ? that should be a better deal. It hasn't hit my bank statement yet so can't give an exact value in Aussie$s. I

Yes, all, I did phone David, but not in the middle of the night. He certainly didn't sound as Aussie as I expected, more like an Englishman who has lived in Australia for some time. We had a nice talk about weather, climate change, David's summer holidays, time zones, forest fires, lace, old

Canada is finally going to have its own Antiques Roadshow and today they were evaluating and taping in Halifax, for viewing on CBC in the Fall. I got a ticket and found out that the painting I rescued from my ex-father-in-law's garbage can is worth C$400 - 600 and the drop leaf table that I
