Hi,
I have a friend who is visiting Scotland and the north of England

I have been a lurker for several years and now I have a need for the vast

I've finally managed to find some time (very precious nowadays) to convert
the photos I had of the stolen shawl we spoke about some time ago to a
format that would be accepted by webshots and uploaded them into an album on
the Arachne web album.

Maltese lace, intended for the tourist trade - despite the seller's

Hi out there in Lacingland,

Hello Spiders,
I am also a very big fan of Maltese lace. It is probably my favourite,
stemming from inheriting a collar and a flounce from my grandmother, both
of which I used in my wedding gown. I have managed to do a Maltese cross
but haven't gotten any further - though I have plans for
