by Diana Blackburn We attended the Pudsey Lace Fair on 18th October 2025 to promote lacemaking. We were kindly given space to show our Lace Guild Competition entries and had a practice pillow out for any budding newbies. We all enjoyed the great suppliers present and our wallets were definitely a little lighter on the way home. Looking forward to seeing everyone again next year.
