Virginia State Fair

The Colonial Lacemakers were committed to demonstrate lacemaking on October 2. And I had committed myself too. Once you have the free tickets and parking permit there is no returning. To be honest, I do like demonstrating. I felt rewarded because I taught a young women (teenager?) to tat in 5 minutes. I always tell them: you can either learn in 5 minutes or never. It's all about the tension on the right thread. She was so happy ... which of course made me happy.

The special treat this year: another lacemaking group from the Culpeper area joint us. Hallo, Gitte!

Yes, we like to demonstrate, like to get people interested in learning, teach. We love our crafts.
