I am also one of Doris Southard’s many grateful students. My mother gave me my first lesson in bobbin lace in 1974. My parents were visiting us in Indiana from Denmark. She sent a Danish beginner’s book which I struggled through. After Doris’ book came out I started working through that, and gradually gained more confidence through her lessons. At first it was very confusing as I had started out with the cross-twist method, so the twists were all in the wrong places. Eventually I figured that out and was on my way. My early students also learned from Doris’ book. Later I took Doris’ class in Tønder lace. I think it was at the IOLI convention in Atlanta. I felt very fortunate having that opportunity, so I got to know her as the delightful and generous person she is. Doris contributed enormously to the spread of bobbin lace through her book. Thank you Doris.
