It was a demo that caught my attention. A lady was making lace, all by
herself, at an Arts and Crafts show. I watched for a while but DH was
impatient. I told myself that I wanted to learn that. Actually, I saw her
twice but work and life kept me busy, so I didn't contact her. Just after
that, I saw an announcement of a class in beginning BL. I just 'knew' I
had to take that class to find out if it was as interesting as it looked.
That was almost 13 years ago, and I'm still doing it. By the way, the lady
I saw in the park was the one who taught the class. It was her first
class. Two of us from that class are now doing the teaching in this area.
It's fun to demo in a group, but even a single person can educate people to
the existance of lacemaking. If that lady had not been brave to do it
alone, I may never have met up with lacemaking. And lacemaking has
certainly changed the pattern of my life.
Keep passing the word, and taking lace into the public.
