Hi all,
You will know that I am not a lace maker, but in my patchwork hobby life, we are experiencing the same slow evolution away from traditional patchworking. When it first started happening I "blamed" artists taking over our hobby, but now I see that it is a generational trait. We are living in a modern world where change is happening all around us, and our hobbies are part of that change. Not because of technology but new people entering the craft look at things differently. I just recommend enjoying what you do and like, and have fun. Don't waste time on moaning about the inevitable. I do know that there will always be a traditional stream in our crafts, because without it people will have nowhere to go to be "different!! Smile. I have to confess that in Patchwork , whilst I do make some traditional quilts, I am considered as being "modern" (sorry) Brian Blog: https://modernquiltjourney.wordpress.com/ - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
