Welcome to the list Andy. I am sure you will find this a very talented and
sharing group of lacemakers. I am not sure, tho', about your friend who
suggested a sofa pillow and pencils! Sounds like a pre-internet act of
desperation.
I hope that your friend also told you that lace making is an incurable
disease. A lovely, wonderful disease.
Happy Lacing

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't
hurt.

Hi,
My name is Andrea Blodgett. I sign my e-mails "Andy in Texas". I have
never tried Bobbin lace before and am just now ordering a book on how to do it
before I invest in the supplies. A friend suggested using pencils for bobbins
and a sofa pillow. I will be lurking for a while to see what is hapening on
this list. Glad to be here and I am sure I will become addicted to it as soon
as I master the stitches.
A little about myself- - I enjoy Crazy Quilting, Lace dyeing, collecting
antique lace, embroidery, beading, sane quilting, genealogy and dollhouse
miniatures. I am a member of Embroiders Guild of America and am treasurer for
my chapter in The Woodlands, Texas. I am president of The Bee Crazy club for
crazy quilts and a member of another Crazy Quilt club. I am 61, soon to be 62
and semi retired. I work 3 days a week at the company I retired from in 2000
(Saudi Arabian Airlines). As you can see my 4 remaining days of the week are
taken up with many hobbies. I often stay up until the wee hours of the
morning talking on-line. My husband, Doug, is also retired and his hobby is
Live steam trains that you can ride on. Our son, Dale, age 38 is still living
at home and working.
So I shall lurk for a while until I am knowledgable to ask intelligent
questions.
