Far better to share and witness the pleasure it gives to the recipient than to keep back/withhold something for ourselves. None of us would be enjoying our craft today, had our mentors not passed on their skills and knowledge. I know Diana that you too have been more then generous over the years and very much appreciated by all recipients. We owe it to our own mentors to pass on what we have learned from them plus the little tips that we have worked out through trial and error for ourselves.

Catherine Barley in Henley-on-Thames, UK where it's snowing hard and settling this morning! Catherine Barley Needlelace www.catherinebarley.com - Subject : Re: [lace] sharing. I’m afraid there are people in all area of collecting and crafting who are unwilling to ‘share’ - what’s mines mine and stays mine! My husband requested a copy of a rare local photograph the response was a refusal with the words “well if I give you a copy then there would be two......”! Which meant that if that picture disappeared the image was lost - and as he did not make provision for his archive after his death the image has been lost to future generations researching the area.
