Totally new to it; I have a piece from my grandmother (something I
now know to be a 20th century piece from China, because there's a
matching one in some of her linens with the label still on), but
which I found entrancing as a child & teenager. I put "learn to make
lace" on my list of things to do (together with learning Basque,
which hasn't happened yet!). I did see Mary McPeek demonstrating in
1973 or 1974, but was a totally impoverished graduate student with no
time (if it was 1974, I was also pregnant). Later, I discovered the
Great Lakes Lace Group when they advertised Spring Fling in Threads
(I think it was) the year of the stamps. I took Carrickmacross that
Spring Fling, but went to a meeting the following month and asked
about bobbin lace teachers. I'm still taking classes from Kathleen
Campbell...
