Thanks for all the suggestions I have been sent in my search to identify
my Australian wildflower pattern. The return on my request has been
quite amazing: (I always knew lacemakers were brilliant.)
I'll post a picture of the handkerchief when finished - if wedding
preparations don't get in
Hi all,
I'm planning a trip to Europe (with mom) partly to see some of the lace
making towns and museums. We will be in London, Belgium, Italy, and
Croatia. As for Croatia I know Pag and Hvar are major lace centers -
though Pag has a reputation as a party city - and I'm hoping Hvar is a bit
Hi
There is a Fan Museum in London. It is small and has some beautiful lace
fans there. It might be a good idea to see if they will displaying any lace
fans when you will be visiting. The display apparently changes quite often.

Many years ago I did some simple Honiton patterns from Luxton and from
Thompson. I enlarged the patterns and used thicker threads.

The Kantcentrum museum in Bruges has been moved (only a little way) and
remodelled . It opened last year and I visited last October. I was very
impressed. It is modern, with exhibits of fantastic lace, and interactive
displays of how lace, both bobbin and needle, is made. Well worth a visit.
Dear Meghann
