I did thank you. Got a copy of your latest book, thank you for all that work - and a few Tonder bobbins, threads for two projects, and a small fan pattern ( a Springett one) as I'd love to make a fan but haven't worked anything like that before. I also mostly work on my own so her long instructions are useful when you've no-one to ask  :) Oh and the Guild book on Bucks Point, I need to sharpen up my practice there so happy to do all the patterns in set order.

No a big fair, but the closest to me, so a nice once-a-year treat

It's a long time since I did any Bucks point, I've been more into the big and bold multi-coloured torchin.  Actually I haven't dome much lace at all over the last couple of years, but a scarf came off the pillow a few days ago and now I don't have anything to take to the lace meetings, so I need to get something sorted and I think I want to go fine again.

Somewhere I have a mini fan made from a Christine Springett pattern.

Ah I like Bucks Point, but am only an occasional lace maker, bookmarks are my current thing - I'm working through a graded set and am then gifting them with book tokens for birthdays  :) It was a good way to get back into it.
