Back in 2005, I attended the Lacemaker's Circle AGM and won a pair of bobbins that had been dontated. Nothing was really known about them, except that they were from an Australian turner. Hubby treated me to the sterling silver charms and I went on with using them. When we setting up the FTM facebook page I would regularily ask about them but with no response. Then I was looking at the lacegumnuts site and saw Bill's bobbins. The tails match but the heads are a little different, however we know that turners often go through evolutions in their heads and tails so we are tentatively marking these as Bill's. Find out more about the bobbins here.
