Me, too, Loreleiabout 1972/3, we first made contact. Such a sharing and
loving person. She taught me more than lace. I knew when I heard her sons
voice that the inevitable had happened. She was a wonderful friend, as well
as mentor

For those who might not know either of these ladies, or who might want to be
reminded of their skill, I do have some photos on my website.
On my website I do have many photos of Doris' Tonder bobbin lace. She came to

Thank you for telling us the news about Doris Southard's passing. She was a
very fine lady, generous, good natured and always helpful. I have held her in
great reverence ever since I had first contact with her back in 1973. She has
given so much to the world. Her life was a gift.

I agree with everything Lyn says about Doris. I have a profound reverence
for her. She was so generous and helpful, beyond just writing the book.
She invited me to visit her a few times and we talked lace all day for
several days. As far as I am concerned, she is the Great Lady of American
I do hope that Doris is out there reading all these lovely comments about her.
I'm sure she is touched.
My first encounter with bobbin lace occurred in the early 1980's. My husband
and I went to a local festival in October. There sitting on the ground was a
woman demonstrating bobbin lace. I'm
I remember when Doris celebrated her 80th - birthday (I *think* that was
the auspicious number!). Someone on Arachne suggested that we send her
birthday cards, and she was innundated by them!! I sent her one. She
wrote to the list about how thrilled she had been to have so many people
