I'm finally getting around to posting my praise and thanks to the Rocky Mountain Lace Guild for the great convention they put on for us all! Thanks especially to Vasna Zago and Cynthia Tiger! So much has already been said, I don't want to repeat, but a few comments:
I studied Tonder with Gunvor Jorgensen, and it was a wonderful experience. Gunvor gave each student individual attention and moved each along at her own pace. I made four samples during the four days of classes, each designed to teach one or more specific Tonder techniques. Scans coming later! The convention was so well organized, so many fun activities, lovely surprises in the pretty purple tote bags, more goodies as table favors at various meals. My favorite item is something I haven't seen mentioned before--a refrigerator magnet with a picture of lace in the center, and the words: Life Without Lace? I'm a Frayed Knot! The vendors' area was a real drain on my checkbook, and the exhibit area was inspiring. Thanks to Helen Bell for all her hard work in assembling and watching over these treasures. The most exciting moment of the week for me was when I won a beautiful Lacemaker Doll at the silent auction.

Click on "Start Slideshow" for closeups, or just click on a picture. To sum up, I learned a lot, ate too much, and spent too much money. Which translates to a very successful and enjoyable experience! This was my first convention, and it's going to be a tough act to follow!
