Hello Noelene! Just for the record, I wish I could belong to the Australian Lace Guild as well as IOLI!! And if money were no object, I'd join a number of other guilds as well!!
At one point, I did belong to a European guild, but did not renew... while the bulletins were jam-packed with excellent articles and patterns, I found that my interests in lacemaking weren't compatible, so let that one go.
