| According
to my unruly Upholstery-Classes, this is I. Well not quite, but I had my revenge by just pointing to the hammer in my hand. I started making lace in l977, but only because my husband said that I could not do it. Being German born, ve have vays. He regretted it ever since. I wish I had kept my very first pieces, because then I could prove to all that I was the forerunner of very modern lace with any size holes, where I forgot to enclose the pins. With perseverance I got better. |

Of
course then all was done in white or ecru in England. So
when I saw the book of the Czech Lace by Elena Holeczyova
, what a revelation. Beautiful lace and in colour, I was
hooked and would mostly work with coloured threads. Since last year I have decided to do the Margareten-Spitze and hope to introduce it here. It is a knotted lace and again my classes shown their disrespect and gave me the name "Knotter" with an "O". This coming winter I intend to visit as many Lace Days as possible and hope that some Interest will come from this. SOOOOOOO please look at my not so quiet and cocky Henry on the next page . |
