Re: [lace] Rosemary's_book_of_flowers
Well, I would think that is all the proof that ANYONE would need that there was no plagarism. After all, Jana, who has already told us there was no copying, would not sell the book if she thought the designs were copies of hers.

[lace] Rosemary's book of flowers
Hello to all, It is a long time since I have written anything on the forum.

[lace] Sisters
And the connection is deeper still - our Mum was the first one to start classes, but at the same time without knowing she was going to classes, I started teaching myself from a part work, Golden Hands Crafts (still one of my favourite reference "books", everything you can think of is in there). After a couple of weeks I found out about Mum going to class, and we both bought the only lace book we could find, Margaret Maidment's "Hand Made Bobbin Lace Work". Having finished the lace in Golden Hands, I then ventured into Maidment and can remember crying tears of frustration at not being able to start a new piece. I would phone Mum and she would take her book to class and tell her teacher that I was stuck just *there*, and the poor teacher would try to think up what I might have done wrong, and then Mum would try to explain it to me over the phone. We only discovered afterwards that the teacher was only half a page ahead of her class! Mum was an adult education teacher (dressmaking, knitting, crochet and general handicraft classes) at the same centre as Pat Read, and got the last place in her class. After a year she pursuaded Pat to consider me (as an extra student in a full class) and I had to talk myself in. When Pat asked who I had studied with and I told her I had taught myself so far there was an ominous silence, but she let me join and the rest, as they say, is history. On her next trip home, Malvary saw both Mum and me making lace and there was the third one hooked.

RE: [lace] Sisters
>>>From: Sue Fink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Malvary's posting mentioning that Jacquie is her sister raised in my mind, how many of us have sisters who make lace? <<< I don't have a sister of any sort. However, my mother and I both learned bobbin lace at the same time. Well, she took a class, and I visited her class and got started, then took a class a year or so later. We both got the bug watching a demonstration, and she found a class before I did. Since we're good friends and since I didn't learn from her, does that count? Robin P.
