Late last year I did a class in Russian tape lace with Nadine Pauwels when she was visiting Australia. Among the lace pieces she brought for display, were some beautiful tape lace mats including a circular one about 2 ft (80 cm) in diameter and some long rectangular mats. Does anyone know what

Hi, Thought I'd put my two cents in on the subject of IVORY BOBBINS. Yes, there are ivory bobbins out there and there are bone bobbins out there. Please don't tell someone a bobbin is not ivory just by looking at a picture of it or seeing it on TV. Many years ago my husband and I were
