[lace] Masters Thesis on American Lacemaking

[Michelle Chase]

Thank you for all the interest in my thesis.  I received a Masters of
Liberal Arts from Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC this May.  I know
that my thesis will will available at Dacus Library at Winthrop, and maybe
also through interlibrary loan.   I have sent one to the IOLI library as
well.   I only had copies printed for contributors and for the school.  I am
leaving next week for a month in France.  When I return in early August, I
will have additional copies printed.  If you email me off list  I will let
you know how much it will cost for me to mail you a copy.  (I imagine it
would be somewhere around $15 for printing and postage).
Thanks again,
Michelle Chase

[lace] Request for Patterns

[Michelle Chase]

I am a member of IOLI and the Golden Bobbins chapter of the North Carolina 
Regional Lacers, and I am writing a masters thesis on American lace making.  
I plan to write a short book on the history of lace making in America, with 
chapters on bobbin lace, needle lace, crochet, knitting, and tatting.  In 
each chapter, I will recount the history, stories of lace makers both 
historical and contemporary, resources for further study, and patterns for 
that type of lace.  If any American lace makers would like to submit an 
original design, I would be very grateful for the opportunity to include it 
in my thesis.  If I use your design, I will  of course acknowledge your 
contribution, and I will send you a copy of the book when it is finished.  I 
am working on the research and writing now; I must submit the finished 
project in early April.  I would appreciate any help with this- you may 
email me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you very much,
Michelle Chase
