SUMMARY: This little black-and-white newsletter is for collectors, not crafters, but it gave interesting articles on various of the lace disciplines with great photos of examples - I was rather impressed. It lasted at least four years, as I have an issue from the first year and the fourth. I'd love to fill in a complete run of this title, just because I found the articles interesting and enjoyed the eye candy. Where types of handmade lace were listed, tatting was never mentioned - another example of this baffling prejudice I keep running into. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

Anyone with more information about this publication, or has issues to donate or sell, can contact me through My Contact Page.
