Hello Spiders
Within a litle less than 2 weeks I'm visiting Prague with my husband for a
short holiday. What lace shops/exibitions could there be left in the city? I
tried a German list but the only answer I got was the national museum. But I
also vaguely remember stories about shops closing down
Hi, I don't know if you realise but we, Biggins, are Presencia UK. We do know
of the difference in ticket (thickness) but we here in the UK give
information without threads helping the customers to know which threads they
need.
Though having worked lots of it in our patterns I would disagree
Out of curiosity, is the 1923 date a fixed in stone (perhaps for 5 or 10
years?) or an 82 years before now date that has been decided on as a suitable
period for the cut off point? In that case, does it move on a year each
year, ie next year 1924 books can be used?

Hello,
Last year at the lace festival in Tønder I saw a 3D lace flower that I
would like very much to make but I haven't been able to find the
pattern. Could any of you please help me to identify it? If you e-mail
me privately I will send a photo. I was told it came from an English
book, that
Hi Ann-Marie -
You may hear from some who refer you to Cathy Belleville's Rosa Libre lace,
but since her book has just recently come out, I doubt if that is the
pattern you're referring to.
I have a copy of Joyce Willmot's Lace Flowers which was published by Ruth
Bean in 1987. I actually got

Try to go to the national museum and ask them if they know where there is
more exhibitions/shop fore lace.

Sorry Jacqui, but I don't think so. I did a raffle for 12 pairs of Maltese
bobbins Christmas 2003 and I received 129 entries! Until then I hadn't
appreciated just how many are/were on the arachne list.

Well, I think this must be some kind of record! We had 55 responses.

Hi,
My name is Andrea Blodgett. I sign my e-mails Andy in Texas. I have never
tried Bobbin lace before and am just now ordering a book on how to do it before
I invest in the supplies. A friend suggested using pencils for bobbins and a
sofa pillow. I will be lurking for a while to see what
Welcome to the list Andy. I am sure you will find this a very talented and

I hope that your friend also told you that lace making is an

Had a lovely time Friday night with the Pittsburgh Lace Group and
Pompi Perry's lecture. They were very welcoming to a visiting

take her workshop yesterday and
Hi All, Sylvie asked about ideas for lace jewelry. I made a choker

say so myself. It's a fairly

copy I have purely by chance, having been looking for it for a couple of

more)

Hi Andy,
Welcome to Arachne! I too joined (9 years ago!) before I started bobbin lace.
I live in a small
town in Australia, no lace teachers, so I taught myself from a book and got
(and still get) lots of
help from the list over the years.
Please consult us before you purchase any equipment -
I am about 30 miles North of Houston in Spring, Texas near I-45
