Hi Andy and all spiders, Welcome, I am sure once you start Bobbin Lace you will very soon become addicted, I see that one of your hobbies is dollhouse miniatures, there is a book on Miniature lace for dollhouses by Roz Snowden(sorry I do not know the ISBN), it is a lovely book and I feel sure that it will entice you into making lace to decorate your miniatures. Regards, Sue M Harvey Norfolk UK

I sign my e-mails "Andy in Texas". I have never tried Bobbin lace before and am just now ordering a book on how to do it before I invest in the supplies. A friend suggested using pencils for bobbins and a sofa pillow. I will be lurking for a while to see what is hapening on this list. Glad to be here and I am sure I will become addicted to it as soon as I master the stitches. > A little about myself- - I enjoy Crazy Quilting, Lace dyeing, collecting antique lace, embroidery, beading, sane quilting, genealogy and dollhouse miniatures. I am a member of Embroiders Guild of America and am treasurer for my chapter in The Woodlands, Texas. I am president of The Bee Crazy club for crazy quilts and a member of another Crazy Quilt club. I am 61, soon to be 62 and semi retired. I work 3 days a week at the company I retired from in 2000 (Saudi Arabian Airlines). As you can see my 4 remaining days of the week are taken up with many hobbies. I often stay up until the wee hours of the morning talking on-line. My husband, Doug, is also retired and his hobby is Live steam trains that you can ride on. Our son, Dale, age 38 is still living at home and working. > So I shall lurk for a while until I am knowledgable to ask intelligent questions. > Andy in Texas > > > Andy Blodgett Life is short.
