Hello. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Liz Redford. I have been making bobbin lace since 1999. I first saw bobbin lace being made in the 1980's at a state park in Kentucky called Land Between the Lakes. I was fascinated. But no matter how hard I tried I could not find anyone in Nashville (where I lived at the time) to teach me.
In about 1989 I moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Then in 1999 Sherry Graham brought her lovely lace fan that had won a ribbon at the IOLI Convention to an ANG meeting. I jumped at the chance to have her teach me. For years I would go to her house each week to learn bobbin lace. Of course I joined the Atlanta chapter of the IOLI and made many very close firends. In October of 2007 I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. I was delighted to find that there is a very active and talented group of lacers in the Carolinas too. Earlier this spring I joined the digest version of this list. I have been astonished to see what a worldwide activity bobbin lace really is. For example, the week I joined I learned about all the bobbin lacers in Australia that were impacted by the terrible forest fires. I have also learned about a number of web sites I never knew existed. I am looking forward to learning lots more from all of you. Thank you, Liz from rainy Raleigh - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachnemodera...@yahoo.com
