Hi Patty love your green piece above, you have it entered as a beginner? It looks like you have been doing this type of work for a while! Was this several different green threads or 1 thread that was a mixture? I'm new to the site so sorry if my questions seem silly :)  i'm going to check out this NE lace group too,sounds interesting.   ~Erika

Pat,

I'm thrilled to learn that there is a New England lace group!  I will check the distance to Sturbridge, but really, no matter how far it is (!) I will try to make at least a few meetings!  But maybe not this academic year....my husband and I are leaving on an extended sailing journey and will be away from Sept until May.  I'm taking lots of knitting on board with me, but I've been 'on the fence' about bringing any of my bobbin lace projects.  

Hopefully I'll be home and settled again in time for your last meeting of the year in June.  I hope so!
