I (heart) mail - over a couple weeks I've enjoyed reading:

 I think this is my fav issue of the Bulletin OIDFA.   Turkish Needlelace article & 'how-to" -- New Zealand Rangirua Exhibition - Teneriffe -- and MORE.

  EGA Virtual Education.   What an exceptional kit for a 2-day workshop.   (zoom).

  Piecework magazine.  

• Unforgotten Revolutionary Lacemakers of Ipswich by Mary E. Mangan, Gail MacLean, Karen H. Thompson, Jill Hawkins, Rosalie Bares, Carolyn Wetzel, and The New England Lace Group

Following the IOLI Lecture o Saba Lace .... I was intrigued!!!   The patterns and information are excellent.... some remind me of Nanduti.    Book available thru IOLI library - the lecture/video is available via zoom thru the IOLI webpage.    Excellent presentation IMO.

I've really enjoyed this issue. Did you see the photo
of the pattern book of edges (tatted, crochet, etc)?
How awesome!

The Ladies of Missalonghi

I checked this book out of the public library
after reading about it in the most recent issue of
PieceWork Magazine.

It is The Ladies of Missalonghi
by Colleen McCullough.

Enjoyable read so far.

It is my turn ...

Picked it up from the library this afternoon ...
Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt
by Beth Hoffman
I've heard so much about this book

And thx Beth for picking up
the latest issue of
PieceWork Magazine!

Enjoyed the article & pictures
of the Heart Ornament 2010 contest!

WOW! Such talent!

PieceWork's 3rd Annual Lace Issue

I cannot wait for the next issue ....

More tatting in the next issue ....

I had sent an e-mail to PieceWork Magazine (Interweave Press), about the beautiful tatting (on page 12 of current issue) and how I'd enjoy more tatting articles/patterns (etc) .... May/June is going to be a special issue on lace. ..... here is their response:



Dear Lelia,

Thank you for sending your comment to PieceWork. We love hearing what our readers like and dislike! You will love our May/June issue coming out soon! It has a tatted motif including a beaded and tatted purse and a great article on a wonderful little vintage tatting sample book.

Best Regards,
