Hi Agnes ,
Thank you for your friendly " groetjes "
the Simcoe county Lacemakers have two members of Dutch origin
( I am the older one ! )
the younger one is Johanna who hails from Overijsel
Another Lacemaker of Dutch origin is on our mailing list
but does not attend Lacedays
I was born in Bilthoven ( gemeente de Bilt ) emigrated to
Canada in 1951 with my family.
In the beginning after emigration my parents kept contact with other
families who had emigrated from deBilt - Bilthoven resulting in my marriage
to someone who used to live across the street from me in Bilthoven
I knew about Lacemakeing from a neighbor lady who was Belgian ,
but did not take up the art until about 25 yrs ago here in Canada.
Presently I am taking care of my "cabin fever" (due to Ontario wintry
weather
conditions ) with some bobbinlacemaking

OK, so where else in the world are we Dutch lace makers hanging out?
