I have been interested in the response people have for the ever-present
comment, "I don't have the patience...". Rather than argue with them, I
tell them that for me, this is an activity I can enjoy for hours and
hours. Then I tell them, "What takes patience, for me, is cleaning the

Hi all-
Years ago, after spending an entire morning retro-lacing a wide Flanders piece
only to discover that I hadn't made a mistake in the first place, I was
surprised to realize that I wasn't upset about all of the wasted time. I
learned more about how to look at the pattern. It occurred to me

I think when we demo we should have a pillow with us that has a very small
piece on with as little bobbins as we can get away with. Also have a pillow
with a larger piece, one that we normally do while doing demos. Maybe let them
have a try at the small one and see how really simple it can be.

I think Devon and Jean Nathan both have it right. Bobbin lace IS for puzzle
solvers. But also showing that edgings and doileys aren't the only possible
end results may be important. Personally I don't mind doileys, but I frame
them in clear plastic photo frames. (protects them from the cats wit

I find people think we just make edgings and doilies and they aren't
interested in them - they're old fashioned. I point out that I've only made
an edging a couple of times and the same for doilies (mats). They then say,
well what do you make then? I answer with examples such as Christmas
