Hello Tamara, where can I get those Paula Harten's patterns? Tonight is the 2nd night of my new bobbin lace class. Last week 3 ladies attended: one does the 4th course, one the 2nd and a newbe. The 2 more advanced ladies decided they wanted to start an edging lace to be sewn onto a blouse or traditional German dress (Dirndl). So I am always looking for beginners and easy patterns.
Thank you!

"Countersigned with both hands" as we used to say in Poland:) I couldn't agree more; on top of all the learning problems they might encounter, lousy equipment is not something they need. For small but interesting teaching patterns (in addition to Bev's pillowless-plait), I highly recommend Paula Harten's series of patterns for teaching children (she's just added two more -- very exciting -- ones to the ones previously published in the IOLI Bulletin). Each is simple, each is quick, and each can be taken home as a finished project. -- Tamara P Duvall http://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
