Hello all-
Ilske, I'm with you--not having enough time to make lace is what I don't
like!
I've found that I don't even mind having to retro-lace as it's just part of
the game. A few years ago I undid an entire morning's worth of Flanders only
to discover that I hadn't made a mistake after all.

I rarely come across famed lace, - and then usually, it has had the glass
removed - part of the show requirements - "No glass". Many shows specify
that the lace should only be mounted at the top, so the Judge can access the

see if the joining is really neat. So, what do you do when the piece arrives
framed with no way of examining the back?

Not sure about other fairs, but the ones I've entered do ask for level of
expertise. I assume that information is factored in by the judges in some
way. I usually put down "advanced lacemaker" but I might add "new to this
technique" or some such descriptor.
Something that might be a bit of an od

There was a lovely item on the local news this evening about 'The
Seamstress' statue at Leicester.
I only live just over 20 miles from Leicester but knew nothing about the
statue.

Dear Lacemakers,
On the cover of the most recent "New Stitches" magazine #176 from UK to
reach Barnes and Noble bookstore, there is a Historic Lacemaker dressed in
white
bonnet, floral scarf, red/white blouse, long skirt and apron. She has a lace

Hello Adele,
here the competitions have a theme and exact dates for the size of it,

Yes, you do use smaller thread to do the lassen than you used for your lace,
but it does not have to be "much finer".My "stash" of thread that I use is
the 185/2, although when I've worked with 120/2, I may use 170/2 instead. The

I also received my card this week, a rather cute angel which is now hanging
