Fran (Bloomer?) makes lovely bobbins and other wood tools. I love her Danish
ones, many have bowling ball material for the ball of the bobbin. She's used
bowling ball for tatting shuttles, too. She sometimes comes to IOLI
convention, but often just sends her things with Kathy Kirchner.
Diane Miller moved to France. I think it was the Evian region. I
haven´t heard anything of her recently - but I just love her bobbins

But surely, if you have legitimately paid for the pattern, the lace you

Prime example of someone being a little over precious if you ask me. It has

The last few days we have been chatting about the different makers and
decorators of lace bobbins, this has been compiled into two lists and is
definitely not to be considered the complete list as I am sure each of us
can think of more to add to the list.
Both the Bobbin Makers and the Bobbin

Well I didn't think that my innocent posting would result in such an
avalanche of names.
Alas, although I did make some bobbins for my youngest daughter from 3mm
dowling using a Stanley knive, I wouldn't call myself a bobbin maker.
Neither was Alan, his forte was to write on the social
Hi Jenny
Thanks for that list - a couple of small corrections.
Acorn Bobbins is the trading name of Eric Sutton
Winslow Bobbins is the trading name of Dennis SIzeland, now retired, the
turning is now done by son-in-law Steve Smith

Yes, Jenny, I think it would be a very informative tool for our inventories!
My daughters have asked me to do an inventory of my lace 'stuff' so they will
know how to dispose of it at a later date.
I am using the scanner and photos to do it. Now I need to get my books

Thank you so much for all your hard work compiling the lists. You have
now spurred me on to do something which I´ve been meaning to do for

We can add the late Mr. Le Grande, Vancouver BC, who turned many many
bobbins of the same midlands style for sale to lacemakers in the BC
Lace Clubs of the time - c. 1970 through 1990 maybe? Perhaps someone
from the area could refine the information. I've forgotten his first
name. The bobbins are
Hi All,
One more from Canada. Sid Rose from Edmonton, AB, turned bobbins, not as
finely finished as some others but good, useable bobbins. I used to send
him the bobbin blanks of various woods and he would turn them in the style I
requested and send them back. One time I sent him some slightly

Hello
Here is the name or another very good Canadian bobbin maker. André Moulin is
very careful with his work and what is most pleasant is that you can design
your own models or give specific instructions and he will make them.

Hi Arachnids
I am surprised that any pattern designer who is so protective of her patterns
