Dear Janis, I lived near Tulsa, Oklahoma myself for over a decade. There is a suburb of Tulsa called Broken Arrow; perhaps that is where your friend is going, as there is no place called Broken Hill. There is also a town called Broken Bow, but that is very very far from any big cities.
The good news is, there is a lacemakers' group just a 1-hour drive away from Tulsa/Broken Arrow, in a town called Bartlesville. They usually meet the first Saturday of every month, but owing to the national holiday on July 4 this year, they will instead meet this year on July 9-10. On that weekend there will be a class in Idrija lace. If your friend has a travel pillow, she might want to bring it; or at least to attend and enjoy the friendship of these wonderful ladies. Both of you might want to visit the website, http://lacemakersoklahoma.weebly.com to see what else she might want to know. If the Bartlesville group won't work out for her, there is also a lace group in Oklahoma City, about 2 hours away from Broken Arrow/Tulsa in a different direction. Its website is Lace Guild of Oklahoma, https://sites.google.com/site/laceguildofoklahoma/ Best regards, Sally Jenkins, now living in Oregon, on the west coast of the USA - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
