If you or a friend will be attending, that would be a good place to look for the book. Incidentally (since your interest appears to be tatting), several tatting courses are offered - the faculty includes Judith Connors of Australia teaching Inverted Tatting and Pearl Tatting, Nina Libin of U.S. (born in Russia) teaching Tatting with Beads, Rosemarie Peel of U.K. teaching Tatting Techniques and Tatting with Color, Brenda Rewhorn of U.K. teaching Plain & Fancy Tatting. Quite an international group!! This information is from the 116-page Pattern Booklet the Keystone Lace Guild published as a fund-raiser. It is my understanding copies are still available. There are an additional 6 pages in color -- photos of faculty and the projects. The number of teachers coming from overseas is astounding. Quite a few of the faculty are Arachnes.
