I would Love to hear you speak!! ---- from one who speaks East Midlands English (Bedford area) overlaid with a bit of Aussie!!! :) I was at your talk on the Lace of the Robber Barons, and was totally enthralled by it, Devon. Many thanks for a wonderful evening (at an IOLI Convention - was it Denver, 2005 perhaps?) I go with the "Whatever sounds right" when it comes to this sort of query. English is so complex that I think both are correct - in their particular context. Your last paragraph, Devon, sums it up "spot on", I think. I hope you will be at the forthcoming convention, and that we can meet again. I am really looking forward to that week, and meeting friends again - new ones as well as old ones. I got my first choice of class, too - Gold & Silver Early Lace with Gil Dye. Yippee!!! It should be very interesting, as I love those early laces, - but I usually make them in the modern way, so it will be nice to learn the Original way of doing things. I hope we get to add spangles, too!!!!! Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
