Lyn I did talk with Doris Southard many years ago and she told me that she first heard of bobbin lace from an article in a women's magazine. (I don't remember which one -- one of the grocery store kind.) She had been a weaver and did many other textile crafts, but she was essentially "self-taught". I also learned from her book. And earlier, from her correspondence lessons. Lorelei
