We are currently seeking Gallery Attendants to help out at The Hollies with our 20th Century Lace Exhibition.

Lace Guild Sapphire Anniversary

Simply Blue is a new publication celebrating The Lace Guild's Sapphire Anniversary of 45 years. The book will feature a mixture of patterns and short articles.

​

You are invited to submit designs worked entirely or mainly in blue threads, in any lace technique, bobbin or non-bobbin. Patterns or prickings must fit A4 paper. Please include details of thread, tools needed, working diagram and a photo of the lace.

We welcome pictures of lace fitting the brief but without a pattern, for inclusion in a gallery of inspiration. Please include name of maker.

Send contributions by email to Rosemary Green below or by post c/o The Hollies. The deadline is August 31 at the latest but sooner if possible.
