Re: [lace] Winding bobbins with a string

What a wonderful picture you paint Peg, of yucky weather. Having spent a couple of weeks in S E Asia last year I can totally relate to your description. LOL Cheers, Shirley T. - Adelaide, South Australia where we've had the driest June (winter month Downunder) on record. Blue sky and a

I have seen the proposal and thought it was very well done. Obviously a lot of time and effort was put into the preparation. I am very sorry to hear you were not successful. Perhaps you could consider hosting an IOLI Convention? I would love to have an excuse to visit Santa Fe! Liz R,
