[lace] IOLI convention--free lecture

[Susan]

Thank you Devon & Jean!  I found Candace Perry online & knew she was associated 
with a textile museum so this is great additional information.  Her topic lends 
itself to more than just IOLI members, so it's perfect for what I had in mind.  
SYS.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA

The topic is Just for Nice: The use of Lace in Pennsylvania German Textiles.
Here is the blurb she provided:
Just for Nice: The Use of Lace in Pennsylvania German Textiles
The Pennsylvania Germans are known for practicality, but did love
embellishment. Whether it be painted furniture, the vibrant decorated
manuscripts called fraktur or samplers and embroidered linens, the rural
Germans who came to Pennsylvania in the 18th century enjoyed what adding
decoration “just for nice.” What role did lace, and needlework resembling
lace, have in the culture? Candace Perry, Curator of Collections at the
Schwenkfelder Library & Heritage Center will explore the use of lace by the
Pennsylvania German in this illustrated presentation.
