Dear lacing friends:

I took part in this again this year, both Sat & Sun, this past weekend.  We had a lot of interest and I passed out lots of NELG "cards" with our website information.  We really didn't have a lot of child interest, but had quite a bit of adult interest.  So I gave some lessons to someone who had brought in her "lacis bobbin lace kit".  So I parted with one of my Piet pillows and a spool of lace thread to get her started.  Cherry is a spinner, knitter, felter and cook.  Again, we had a lot of interest.  The only thing that would have made it nicer would have been some other lacers.  I recommended Evelyn Gant & Fletcher Farms as well but honestly don't know if she is still teaching there.  I also met a couple of crafters who were really interested and are from MA and could go to the Sturbridge meeting without any problem.  I came back with some ideas for Sat programs as well.
