Welcome, Liz!
I want to let the rest of this list know that Liz was modest, and did
not say much about her lace. But I met her last year in Rockford, when
she and I were both members of the Binche class taught by Anny
Noben-Slegers. Liz makes beautiful lace, and her Binche is no
exception. We are tickled to have her here in the "Mid Atlantic" states!!

Hello. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Liz Redford. I have been
making bobbin lace since 1999. I first saw bobbin lace being made in the
1980's at a state park in Kentucky called Land Between the Lakes. I was
fascinated. But no matter how hard I tried I could not find anyone in
Nashville (where I lived at the time) to teach me.
In about 1989 I moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Then in 1999 Sherry Graham brought
her lovely lace fan that had won a ribbon at the IOLI Convention to an ANG
meeting. I jumped at the chance to have her teach me. For years I would go to
her house each week to learn bobbin lace. Of course I joined the Atlanta
chapter of the IOLI and made many very close firends.
In October of 2007 I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. I was delighted to find that there is a very active and talented group of lacers in the Carolinas too.
Earlier this spring I joined the digest version of this list. I have been
astonished to see what a worldwide activity bobbin lace really is. For
example, the week I joined I learned about all the bobbin lacers in Australia
that were impacted by the terrible forest fires. I have also learned about a
number of web sites I never knew existed. I am looking forward to learning
lots more from all of you.
Thank you,
Liz from rainy Raleigh
