Lace makers in my family.
There were lace makers in m y family. So it was not strange for my to start lace making also. Both my grandmother and my mother were lace makers.
My grandmother Hillegone Uitentuis-de Boerr. Until about 1953 she was a member of the Bobbinlace group in Edam. Marie BIj 't Vuur-de Jong, who was a lace teacher then in Edam, is sitting behind her.

Probably inspired by my grandmother, my mother also started making bobbin lace. She followed lessons,given by Mrs. Tuimelaar, at first in Enschede, lateron in Zuidlaren.
