FREEWAY LACE DAYS

I went to Freeway Lace Days, today. Freeway Lace is one of the lace Guilds that I belong too. I am also a member the Cross Scitchers. Every Wedensday afternoon we meet and make lace at the museum in Redlands. We are part of their living history display. (which Dennis thinks is funny)

It was a ball to be there with all these people that love one of things that I love to do most. I took a class in needle lace, not impressed. Bobbin lace and tatting are still my favorites. Lace makers come in all ages and sexes, but they are still very willing to help the beginners. Nicest people in the world according to me.

We had only one vender there to sell things. Boy, were they busy, the whole family to help wait on people. They didn't even check for our ID, what a joy to have people trust us.
I love to make butterflies so I took these to add to the lace display of the Cross scitchers.
Supplies that I bought. This is the best place to buy thread for the next year. You can never have too much thread like the quilters and their material.

I always get me a few more handpainted bobbins. It is funner to work with pretty bobbins. The cute little hats are magnets to hold pins.

So fun! It is so much fun to hang with other like minded peopled! Love your purchases too- there are no vendors at the retreat I just went to, but there usually are at the other ones I attend.
