Dear All,
When we are at home, it is easier to make lace at home than lug the stuff
all over, but clearly from the responses, making lace in public seems to
draw questions from onlookers. How much interest could we get for
lacemaking if we simply spent some time in our home town making lace

I had my travel Pillow with me when we went to Tasmania and crossed Bass
Straight by sea (so we had the car to drive around in when we got to the
other end!!)
It is a night crossing, but after dinner, I got out my pillow, and sat in
the lounge making lace for quite a while. Not a great deal of
Lace Where You Are is a good motto. I work part time in a city park
building and have permission from my boss to bring my lace making in and work
on it during slow times. Of course my first priority is to guests so I put it
