I remember attending a Towns Womens Guild in November 1970 in Lichfield, Staffs where we had a talk on bobbin lace with a demonstration on a board using probably, skipping ropes with wooden handles for the thread and bobbins. I was one of those who thought it looked too difficult and being heavily pregnant with our son, had no time for a new hobby, plus I was doing wood carving at the evening school at the time. I think the idea stayed in my brain until I visited the UK in 1994 and saw a pillow kit in a craft shop. So there must have been a local guild in the Lichfield area.
