Sad news: Estonian lacemaker Eeva Talts has died at the age of 72.
As well as teaching bobbin lace she organized the annual Lace Festival
in Pärnu & was a founder of the Estonian Bobbin Lace Association (Eesti
Niplispitsi Selts) in 1995.
She published "Eesti niplispitsi mustreid/Estonian bobbin lace patterns"
in 2003. In 2012 Eeva wrote a book about tatting in the Estonian
language, and in 2015 published a book about bobbin lace from the Seto
region, which is on the Estonian & Russian border.
She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
