There was a piece I wanted to make for my mum. I'd been making lace for 6 months and so, I asked my teacher what techniques I needed to learn in order to start the piece and she said; 'oh no, you won't be able to make that'. I wouldn't have minded if after 6 months of learning I had pulled out a piece of Binche but it was a small piece of Beds that appeared very early on in Pamela Nottingham's paperback book on lace. I left the lessons, joined a lace group and started Beds. I made the piece for mum a few months later. I bumped into the teacher a few years later and she was going on about how I should have stayed with the lessons as I would have now been making Beds. I simply said that I didn't have time as I was now working on my Honiton and Milanese lace pieces. A couple of year ago we saw her again. My hubby was with me this time. She asked me if I was still 'dabbling in lacemaking'. Hubby removed me before I could cause damage.

This reminds me of a "teacher" I had many years ago. I was trying to make tallies, and asked her how they were done. She looked at me and said, "Well, you just DO it." Needless to say, I had to find a better teacher. C Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA. USA - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
