It's a contemporary novel about a girl from Ipswich who is a bit of a mess, returning to Ipswich after many years. She is the grand-daughter of a lacemaker and "Lace Reader" --the equivalent of a tarot reader, but you make the predictions by "reading the lace". It's a really good read--you can get it on Amazon, or at any bookstore. I believe it was on the NY Times list for quite awhile, but I am being lazy and not checking that :) so I might be mixing that up--GOrna Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06639417620046663278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627996062954105283.post-4610193087014666742012-03-12T16:49:27.835-07:002012-03-12T16:49:27.835-07:00I've tried (just basics).

So far, only making strips of samples -- nothing exciting to show off yet. This is something I've wanted to learn for many years, and finally took the plunge. I'm not aware of anyone locally who can teach me, so I'm doing it on my own.<br />Thanks for the post and photos. Need more info on that book, please!<br />Lynn in southern NJ<br />P.S. I've registered for ANG Seminar and your class is my first choice. Am crossing my fingers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627996062954105283.post-53588069764311571542012-03-10T17:16:08.000-08:002012-03-10T17:16:08.000-08:00Maybe you could send us some photos of your work t...Maybe you could send us some photos of your work to put on the blog?

I have a very good lace teacher Carol Burden.She does classes and on Thursday evening I go to her with 9 other girls. Some of the girls have been making lace for over 30 years.charlotte2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09033371258108964670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627996062954105283.post-79434161948549198802012-03-10T07:56:23.821-08:002012-03-10T07:56:23.821-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.charlotte2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09033371258108964670noreply@blogger.com
