Well done, Tamara! You've given the Bulletin a very long period of hard
work and dedication, and all IOLI members have benefited from the
articles and patterns that you provided yourself, or that you were able
to convince others to provide! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your
shoes, though literally small, will be very hard to fill!!
I'm looking forward to seeing where your creative juices take you when
you have to freedom to do what you want - when you want!!

I was sorry to read a note from the editor,
Cindy, that the next Bulletin will have Tamara's last article as Bobbin Lace
Editor. I was surprised to read she has been doing it for seven years.
Time flies, when we're having fun :)
In my semi-retirement, I hope to be able to still contribute something, every now and
then, but also to have some time to make lace for myself, or for gifts, Christmas
exchanges etc. All of which had to be discarded, given the relentless deadline drumbeat,
not to mention "life".
And I'd like for all Bulletin subscribers to keep their eyes peeled for a
*rising* star -- Kim Davis. For several years, Kim's been a part of a little
group (which includes Devon and Gil Dye, among others) of aficionados of the
earliest laces (as well as fans of wire lace). She's had a couple of --
scattered -- articles in past Bulletins and has one, second in a series, in
this one.
My own copy of the Bulletin came this afternoon and I haven't yet had the time to do
anything more than skim through it for pictures, but her article -- translating the old
into the new (starting with a piece of an early lace, tracing its "family"
through different incarnations, reproducing the the original, and *then* rendering a
single repeat of it, in wire, as a necklace) -- looks like a real tour de force.
With Kim on board -- even though she's not taking on the official title of BL
Editor -- I feel quite comfortable saying: Don't cry for me, Argentina :)
