Hello Sharon and everyone Could your protagonist drive to San Bernardino? In this 1981 issue of the IOLI Bulletin, there is an article, page 13 of the pdf, about the forming of a new group of bobbin lacers, the Cross Twisters of San Bernadino, wherein they invite anyone in the area of the County Museum to join them. In the same issue, page 8 of the pdf, mention is made of ".One young man from New York City...teaches lacemaking..." - perhaps your protagonist connects with him while in New York in 1985 :)
Maybe your protagonist finds inspiration at the family-run retail shop Lacis, for lace and the textile arts (it is now a museum of lace and textiles). It was a busy place in the 1980's. http://lacismuseum.org/kaethe/ Hope this helps.
