Speaking of which, I had the pleasure of demonstrating bobbin lace at the

young teenager, thrilled to read a description of lacemaking in the
Children's Enclyclopedia as being thread twisted around pins. I made
a beautiful design, did the whole thing in pins, then wrapped thread
around the pins, and -

afterwards but to suppor

Dear Elaine,
I am surprised, but glad to hear that you were able to visit the lace room

problem. This is the first that I had heard that i
