Today I am switching to a different internet service provider. If t here are glitches I may go silent for some time, until it gets straightened out. Just so you know. The prospect freaks me out.

thanks for accepting me. I'm currently doing a city and guilds course in hand embroidery and learning lots of diferent technniques that i have never tried before including needle lace. I'm throughly enjoying the needlelace and probably because I also do knitting I am understanding how the stitiches work. I have to do some submission pieces to complete my course and I have ideas to include needlelace in my desighs. I'm looking forward to fidning out more about the techniques

Hello there, Many thanks to you all for inviting me to join you.
You might say that I have a healthy obsession with the early laces of the Baroque period.
My greatest passion for the last six years has been in the historical study of laces (mostly bobbin) in paintings and rediscovering long lost stitches, drafting them and passing them on to my students.
I am now at the stage where I need to embrace the fact that needle and bobbin laces in the past were often blended together within the same piece. I am positively itching to learn how to make some of these wonderful needle lace stitches and hopefully incorporate them with my reproduction bobbin laces.
So thank you very much for this opportunity, your lovely website is most inspiring.
