Die Zusammenfassung meiner Obsession der letzten Wochen. Ich hab zum Geburtstag einen Kurs/Klöppelwochenende in Abenberg bekommen und da hab ich endlich das Thema „Formschläge“ angegangen. Und endlich die grüne Fliege fertig bekommen und zwei komplett verschiedene Sachen angefangen. Ein Deckchen in Idrija-Spitze und ein schmales Bucks Point Band, hab mir in Abenberg ein Buch diesbezüglich gekauft.
Holy #BobbinLace Gods! Alex Stillwell has made a number of her really high quality books and pamphlets available for download.
At least one of them is really hard to find in print now. Someone in my lace group wanted a copy of that Floral Bucks Point and couldn't find it for sale.
These are wonderful. Get them if you lace.

Elena Kanagy-Loux, the top ambassador of #lace in our sphere, offers a short 500 Years of Lace History in this interview.
It's more heavy on the continental Euro laces, but she touches on some others. Some lacers are miffed it has none of the British traditions like #Honiton or #BucksPoint. And also, my favorite, #IpswichLace isn't there.
But 500 Years in summary is hard...
