Oh Goodness! We just finished a full two weeks of fair prep and then the fair itself. Our needlework guild is actually in charge of "keeping and eye" on the building the needlework (and spinning/weaving(where lace is entered),Knitting/crochet and food preservation)is displayed in. We have two people at a booth at any time of the day so that we can answer questions and show things off :) at the same time Sharron Albert and myself tend to keep our pillows close at hand to show off how it is done and to talk lots about it ;) In fact Sharron has her pillow set with an easy torchon pattern that people can try. We get a few nibbles. While we may not get people to join us at classes, we are definitely helping with some education......and yes, we get LOTS of the "tatting" ladies! Mikki Fairbanks Alaska Where we are socked into smoke from forest fires...again! *Sigh* Where is rain when WE want it!
| Ok Tamara. I'm coming out of lurking. I agree. If you enter in your State | Fair, you may get new people interested. And if you can, demo your lace at your | State Fair. That's how I got interested. I bought one of the horror kits from | Annie's Attic, but never tried it. When I saw the Portland Lace Society demoing | at the Oregon State Fair, I mentioned that I had the kit, and they invited me | to their group meeting to learn how to do it. After I came home from my | first lesson, my daughter saw me doing it, she came to the next meeting to learn | too. | | | Carol Houser, of Oregon | | - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
