Hello lacefriends,
My story is a short one. For about 17 years I met a young lady on a
Christmas-market which did bobbin-lace. At the same moment I remembered
that my aunt, which was paralyzed on her right side, from face til the
tip of her toes since she was 15, once made this only with her left
hand and with hooded bobbins on a roller pillow at the time I was about
three or four. I was fascinated by the movement and the sound I think.
When she was dead about 20 years later I was the only family member
nearby, that means about 150 km away. My mother and brother lived with
my new father in North-Africa at that time, I wasn't amused to hear
that they had troughen away all her things before I arrived the next
day. So I asked this young women, from the market, if she gave courses.
She said yes but... and it lasted more then half a year that it started
and what was worst after the first lessons we found out she doesn't
know much. She changed the day so I couldn't go there any more but what
now? I found the book from Katharina Egger my husband gave it as a
present, it was my birthday, and I learned myself. And this is another
amusing story. I had only thread 50 and most of the patterns were made
with thicker thread so I made realy laces. That's perhaps I like all
this fine ones today most.
Greetings till next week or later tomorrow morning we travel to Berlin,
one of my favourite citys
