Hi Nita
I have not much to add to Lorelei's suggestions.
I started tutoring with a longer lacing history but without previous
education experience. I started with a single newbee and slowly the number
grew. I took rather a coaching approach than a schoolish approach, except
for the first one or
One of my friends pointed me in the direction of BBC radio's Woman's hour this
morning as there was an item on the new exhibition Lost in Lace in the UK.
Those of you in the Lace Guild may have seen something in the last couple of
lace magazines on this.

Dear Jenny, et al.,
You always know the right, loving thing to say. I finished my Christmas
exchange project for Liberty Lacers, Philadelphia, PA, US in September, except
for finishing. I've never done a Christmas exchange, so I'm excited about how
it works. I am now working on learning
A thought occurred to me. I remembered that the few times I have run across
bobbin lace in decades past, questions were met with some degree of silence,
so I wasn't lulled into interest (but was, via books with information). A
person may sell book markers for instance, and tell the customer
Hi All
At the moment I have only one piece of lace on the pillow. It's my first piece
of floral Bucks and it's very nearly finished. I say nearly finished, it's
actually a trial piece for something I want to make for a friend. I'm hoping
to get this part finished perhaps this weekend, or,

For the past four weeks, I have been down for the count. I attended the Fall
Lace Day in Gold Hill, NC on Oct. 1, and had a delightful time. By the
following Tuesday, I was in bed with a horrendous respiratory flu that is only
reluctantly letting go this week. I

I am almost finished with the piece of Binche I started in Annick Staes' class
in Ithace Columbus Day weekend. The piece is from Wesenberg's beautiful book
on old Binche--my first piece from that book and I look forward to taking on a
couple of wider, more complicated ones in the second half of

This reminds me of a teacher I had many years ago. I was trying to make
tallies, and asked her how they were done. She looked at me and said, Well,
you just DO it. Needless to say, I had to find a better teacher.

Hello Lyn and everyone
I hope your lace demo works out. Pins, now, could be considered Dangerous ;)

Ah yes, speaking of bad teaching . . .
Once, long ago, I joined a class to learn Modern Greek. At the first
session, the teacher listened carefully as each student introduced
themselves to the group. Then she sat back, glared around the room, and
said: Thank you. Well, now I know which of
