Hi everyone,
I can’t help thinking of you all this weekend. The loss of Pat was very sad news here. Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you.
Love and prayers,
Jane
I’m so sorry that we have lost Pat. She was a wonderful person, and loved NCRL. I’ll always be grateful that I was at the Fall Lace Day in Gold Hill, which she helped Marge organize. It was a wonderful lace day – memorable in many ways.

Can anyone assist me in where to go to learn bobbin lace making in NC? I tried to find classes but have not found anyone that can teach a beginner. Your assistance is appreciated.
Try to attend one of the meetings of the guild so you can talk to members and see if anyone gives private lessons. I don’t know who is teaching right now. Michelle

I’m a new lacer near Atlanta, GA. In fact, I’ve had one class = yesterday. Where do you lacers buy your bobbins? Our teacher said their was “somebody in NC” who turns his own bobbins. Can you please provide the name, number, website? Thanx.
Richard Worthen in Nebo, NC makes really nice bobbins. He’s on richardsbobbins.etsycom.
I want to get rid of my supply of bobbins, some antique, some are Archer bobbins, plus all supplies such as pillows and books. I have reached that time where my eyes no longer allow me to continue.
I would appreciate any suggestions on where to sell them.
If your materials are still available, I am a beginner and am interested. Particularly in a nice pillow and some bobbins. Thank you.
I would be interested as well. I need to get some materials also!
My neighbor picked up a partially completed piece of tatting being done against a cloth, obviously meant to be removed when item is completed. It appears to us to be fairly old, maybe 60 years or so. Would anyone like to have this?
I would be interested! I am new to lace making and would love a sample to look at! Email me at stevensacademy2@yahoo.com
Are there any classes in Charlotte, NC?
Greetings I am interested in learning about tatting. I live in Tucker GA. Where are you located?
Welcome! We are in the Charlotte, NC area. There are lacemaking groups in Georgia. To get more information, email Sandra Maier, the Southern representative for the International Organization of Lace (http://www.internationalorganizationoflace.org) at USASouth@internationalorganizationoflace.org. She can let you know what is available in Georgia.
I know that the Palmetto Tatters of South Carolina (http://palmettotatters.org) have a lot of excellent teachers. They are based in the Columbia, SC area.
Happy New Year! Sincerely, Michelle
I have a lace making pillow, bobbins, torchon lace books from England and Belgium that I would like to sell. I made a storage and carrying bag for the pillow, so all are in good condition. I live in the Columbia, SC, area, and would like these items to go to someone with more talent and interest than mine. Email me or call, 309 – 472-4950.
I have two lace making pillows (one cookie pillow, one handmade roller pillow), carrying case, bobbins, thread, and various lace books that I would like to sell. All in excellent condition – very lightly used. I live in western NC, and have more fiber hobbies than time — would very much like to see all of this used. Email lbcreeksong@gmail.com
Have old lace , old book, that needs to find a new home. Contact for pictures and more information.
I would like to join to continue to learn about tatting
My mom used to make lace and had quite a few bobbins that need to find a new home. Anybody know of where I can find them a new home? Thanks!
