Alex's book referenced in the Subject line. I don't find the book listed
in either web site. Am I missing something? I'd love to have this
book. Since I volunteered to make a jabot for the US Justices, I a Bucks

Hi Ruth!
That's a very good question for you to be asking if you're wanting to
learn Bucks!! You should check with LacySusan (www.lacysusan.com) or
with Holly Van Sciver (www.vansciverbobbinlace.com). They both carry
it. It is an excellent book for beginners to Bucks Point, and will take

Hi Irene and all,

the variations and there is nothing of our websit
I'm not nearly good enough at making lace to even attempt Bucks, but my

Thanks.

Hi Betty
I haven't been able to find any web sites for the "Posh Bags" people, but I do
own one of their bobbin bags and a pillow bag. I find the pillow bag a little

clean in the house, however I LVE the bobbin bag a
I'm sure someone produced a folder a few years ago, of instructions and

Hello Ilse,
you will find Mechelen lace-teachers at Bruges. And I am sure also
elsewhere in Belgium or the Netherlands.
Barbara Fay in the north of Germany has nearly all books which are
avaible in all traditional laces. At the moment there is only one in
her catalogue but if you wrote there
Can anybody give me some information on this. Bakewell Old House Museum

Dear fellow lace makers,
I have just joined this list but I like the information I am getting.

in Belgium. In the 1600s the lace made in my town was considered as one of
the best in the then known world. The British poet
I admire the idea, Aurelia, of making 9 jabots for judges of the Supreme
Court. I hope that it comes to fruition.
