This is there 3rd session and they are doing really good. We started with chains and have moved on to the rings. However, this one lady loves the lacie chain pattern with no rings.

I was so inspired I found this little old lady in a neighboring town who was willing to give me some lessons. I really enjoy it.

So they would have another way to sell more of those colored quilting threads that may be sitting in inventory.<BR/>2) in this area, some fire houses allow the public (such as our lacemaking group) to use their classrooms when the classroom is not in use for their own education programs. <BR/>Good luck!<BR/>MimiMimiDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548452784020385893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-77215319503501986162009-02-17T18:53:00.000-06:002009-02-17T18:53:00.000-06:00I hope you have success.

Is there a community building anywhere near by? They might have space for less, or maybe free. And hey, to convince a store, don't forget you have written tatting books and been on TV for your wonderful tatting!tattrldyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749374085792405962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-58204320050181557062009-02-17T14:59:00.000-06:002009-02-17T14:59:00.000-06:00Thanks, LadyShuttleMaker!
