Hi,
Speaking of this book take a look at the last drawing, in the book. It's a
picture of eight ladies making lace. Seems the artist got very lazy and
didn't want to draw all the bobbins on the lace pillows. Especially the
lady's in the front had very few bobbins to make that wide lace
The answer to your different sets of sheets in the

I have just sorted through my box of cotton threads and found part of a
spool of the Brok thread on a spool that I mentioned was hopelessly twisted,
I hadn't thrown it all away as I thought. It is Brok 100/3.
If I pull a length of thread off the spool and hold the two ends together

That is the 'picture/drawing' that is on the dust cover of my smaller book.
All of the laces are very wide for the pillow size, and several are coming off
the side of the pillow.
Maybe they are Red Hat gals, those are really 'special' hats to be wearing to
a lace school.

Thanks to all who replyed to me about the wonderfil thread, I don't think it
is worth the frustration of working with it, I will put it with my sewing
threads. As Bev pointed it out it is very slippy and I don't think I will be
happy with the end result.

It just comes up with a lot of broken links for me. I guess it's
probably because the webpage requires IE6, though there's no error
message to say so. The latest version for Mac is IE5 so I can't
upgrade and at work we don't have IE6 either.
OK it's my choice to use mac and not windows,
Brenda wrote I have the Paul Minet 1978 reprint of
Tebbs' Art of Bobbin Lace Reprint including Supplement
which is effectively two books in one.
The first half of the book is The Art of Bobbin Lace by Louisa A

You can see one in progress, until I messed up, at my blog (addy below).
I am working it again in silk threads, with more success this time,
although I've had to stop work on it while Other Stuff intervenes (a
shame how that goes). I will post a picture of it when finished,

Jenny, I still have a batch of some thread called LBH Tatting Cotton that
came briefly on the market some years ago which also twisted like this.
Totally useless for tatting, but bearable for bobbin lace. It would be much
thicker than Brok 100/3.
When I spoke about this on Arachne, someone said
DH found a nifty free program at
http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/
It's called Virtual Magnifying Glass, and turns your
cursor into a frame that enlarges whatever you put it over.
It doesn't add any information, of course, so setting it
for more than 2x makes a picture uselessly pixellated.

Yup :) It was the required
Has anyone done any of the butterflies from this book and would they send me
a picture if they have? I'm comtemplating getting the book but cannot find

My daughter needed a long copy of her birth certificate from England and when
she compared the two she realised that the short copy did not include her
parents names! I never noticed that fact before.

I haven't checked to see if it is still the case, but on my birth
certificate there is a space where a forename may be added to the
registered name on production of a baptismal certificate or certificate
of naming within 12 months of the registration.
I can't say I've ever seen a
Hi All,
The short copy of the birth certificate is usually the one used by the
parents of adopted children - our daughter is adopted, and although on
original certificates is the name of the parent(s), on the shorter one they
are not mentioned - her name is 'Claire Louise Adkinson' on the short

From what I remember of DH registering our two daughters, the short
certificate was free (ie at initial registration)
In one family I know, the children all got the same initials so they
could inherit the monogrammed items and they'd be still applicable!
Though I never saw that they had all that much - maybe it just came
out for family feasts, and I'm not family!

I was rather surprised that the southern custom was to add
another initial; my Louisiana relatives never mentioned it.
But of course the old folks were married before they moved
down there, and I'd lost touch by the time the kids married.
On the other hand, I've always known that I was entitled
