So in the hopes of helping people get cord to make Romanian point lace my children and I have been making lots of it and pulling out all from my stash. The reason for this is Sylvia Murariu has passed away and people have been sending me emails trying to get a hold of her cord for classes they are teaching and projects they are making. So I have been trying to accommodate where I can.
Sylvia's kind niece sent out the email see below to people on her mailing list. I just wanted to pass it on to my readers. So if you have ever been or think you will ever be interested in this type of lace. Contact her now as I do not know how long her supplies will last that her aunt made. These books sell on amazon for crazy amounts of money. I think it would be better for all involved to support the family left behind and buy directly from Sylvia's niece instead of people just in it for a quick dollar. Sylvia's site sells the books for about 20 dollars I have seen them on amazon in the 60's to hundreds.
Email from niece below
Dear Lace-Lover,
I am writing to let you know of the unfortunate and very sad news that my aunt, Sylvia Murariu, has lost her battle with cancer a couple of months ago - March 2017. However, we know that she is rejoicing with The Lord Jesus now, and is pain-free and worry-free.
My name is Laura Stoicescu, and I am Sylvia’s niece. Sylvia was like my 2nd mother. She was my mother’s sister, and she was not able to have children of her own. We spent a lot of time together, and I will miss her so dearly. She even took the time to teach my young daughters the beginning of lace-making and other handmade work, and we will treasure this forever.
Over the years, I have helped my aunt Sylvia build her website (www.sylviaslace.com) and helped with other aspects of her business. I will be trying my best to continue sharing her legacy and love of lace-making. I do not have experience in lace-making myself, but I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into it, and the beauty that comes out of it.
I have been updating the website www.sylviaslace.com so that it reflects what is still available of Sylvia’s beautiful patterns, kits, books, dvds, etc. I do want to let you know that while I should be able to reproduce the patterns, books, and dvds, the KITS are very limited. This is because these kits include the handmade cord, and sometimes beads and other supplies. So, once they are gone, they are gone.
If you are interested in handmade cord, please email me and I will let you know what is available.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me here at sylviaslace@gmail.com. Until then, take care, and happy lace-making!
Laura Stoicescu
(Sylvia’s niece)
