I wonder if Monica Ferris got the butterfly signature from seeing Chinese
bobbin lace, the majority of the mass produced stuff always having butterfly
motifs included.
If she could be invited and accept an invitation to Minnesota in 2012 and
did learn a bit about how to make lace, wouldn't it
I can confirm that a genuine piece of Halas lace will have a fish somewhere in
the design and if it doesn't incorporate this little fish, it is not a genuine
piece of Halas lace. I believe that Agnes Stevens of Zele lace renown
incorporates an acorn into her designs and both of these types of

Dear Friends,
In our list of those who have received awards for lace making, we
must also remember Miss Norma Benporath who was honoured with the
Order of Australia not long before she died in 1998 in a Queensland
nursing home.
Although born in New Zealand (in 1900), Norma spent most of her
Here are books that not only would I like to see written, but that I would
like to write:
1. History and technique of Burano needlelace
2. History and technique of the great Italian/French needlelaces (gros
point, flat point, corraline, rosepoint, point d'neige, early point de
France...)
2.
That happened to me, too, but then I saw that the blue hyperlink only has about
half of the url. I cut and pasted the whole thing, and there it was. Very
interesting.

It depends on your browser. At my end, Firefox highlighted the whole

I thought it must be something like that. I take it this is not as high an
honor as being 'Knighted'. Or is it the same thing/rank?
Thanks for the info, and what a nice honor this is for her.

Dear Needlelace Lovers,
My Hungarian-American friend, Ilona, has moved back to Budapest, and is a
member of the lacemakers' group in that city. Some of you met her when we
went to OIDFA Congresses in Prague and in Groningen. She is a member of
OIDFA and of The International Old Lacers,
We were very sorry to hear about the damage in Sunset Hills. A friend's
daughter is living in that area and sent us videos of the devastation. Not a
good end to 2010 for you all. I hope the community pulls together to help
all who have suffered

Oh good question, Jeri!
My wish is for a book teaching one to design lace in
the style of Old Flanders
or early Binche. There are a few about modern lace
design or torcon-type, but
I'd like to see one specifically take on the
questions of taking pairs from a
ground into and out of motifs, and the
Hi Sue and Sallie,
The lace in the first picture in the dining room is crocheted, I
believe. The lace in the setting room also might very well be crocheted
lace.
Happy viewing,
