Dear Ann, You can always look to see what The Lace Guild in England is offering to children - on their website. And, I am sure they would appreciate patterns, supplies, teachers - for the publications produced for their use. Sometimes our members do not appreciate how important all forms of public relations are. I loved the story from South Africa about taking lacemaking supplies to India. You do not have to look very far to see opportunities to "sing" about lace. We Arachnes are a small group in relationship to the world's population, and all of us need to...paste on smiles and wear laces daily. I do. And they always "break the ice" (which loosely means silence is broken and a positive conversation is begun - for those of you do not have a Winter season). Happened just yesterday in the long line at the post office. I was wearing a "corsage" of 3 colorful lace flowers on my coat - from Czech Republic, Turkey, and Germany. (Ilske - please note; the German one was made by you.) It is early morning here, and I'm off to cataract and astigmatism surgeries on one eye 60 miles from home. Even today, I'll be promoting lace in some way or other by wearing it. Everyone: Try it.

I told a new acquaintance that I made lace. Lace making is for old ladies she replied. If young people feel that way the art of lacemaking will disappear.
