I must chime in here about the bobbin I ordered from Roseground... Pam Sharples, Pat Hallam's daughter, is running the bobbin part of the business, and I ordered the D-Day bobbin as soon as it was available. It is exquisite. I chose the wooden one, and the minute painting of the landing scene is amazing. Pam beaded it with beading that is the color of the sand with gold spacers. It is beautiful; a real treasure.
The National D-Day Memorial, dedicated in 2003, is located just 20 miles east of Roanoke in Bedford. There is another story about Bedford and the D-Day landing, but not for "Lace." I know that the former Springetts/Fountain bobbin shop is in good hands. Usual disclaimers - Pat or Pam didn't solicit this posting, and I'm not getting any freebies :) Happy Lacemaking, Betty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia USA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
