As a change of pace, here comes another color to write with. I need to learn something new to make up for my latest stupidity. I went with Marie-Annick to her lace association. Of course I brought my camera, but after two pictures the camera said its memory was full. At home again and I sat down to figure out the problem. I happened to open the camera and laughed at myself; I hadn't returned the memory card after downloading the last batch of pictures! 

What these gals can do is amazing....

Fortunately, Marie-Annick took some more pictures so I'll get to add them later...




If you count the threads below, you'll know how many bobbins this gal is playing with!

Though most just smiled a welcome, several gals were willing to try out their English and speak with me.  One gal explained that she had gotten her straight pins from Italy because they make thinner pins than those made in France. I asked if she had gone to Italy to get her pins and she laughed. "On-line" was her answer.

They use hundreds of pins to hold their work in place until it is finished.

Lauryne took me to the pool in Macon and we came home with information. Trying to remember all the turns she made...I'm convinced I'll never find it again! We had company for dinner and played Rummikub afterwards. Now the family has gone to bed and so must I.
