Dear Lacemakers, Information to broaden our horizons:
The American Needlepoint Guild has a newsletter on-line, from which I found there is an exhibit in Chicago at The Oriental Institute Museum: "Embroidering Identities: A Century of Palestinian Clothing", which might be of interest to anyone traveling to Chicago between now and March 25th. http://oi.uchicago.edu (Devon - I wonder if this museum would have additional info about the "needle- looping" technique worked in China prior to development of Italian needlelaces? At least, it is an additional resource!) The second item I found, for adults to prepare for in advance of Wintery days when children are inside is: http://www.needlepoint.org/kids.php Of course, I prefer The Lace Guild's lessons for children. But, sometimes variety is needed. ANG offers a variety of classes to adults, including needle-made laces (which I have taken). It is an organization very similar to The Embroiderers' Guild of America, sends 6 bulletins a year to members, has local chapters, has seminars, etc. This is information that is always nice to keep in mind for friends who prefer to create with needles. More information can be obtained from the internet and from independent needlework shop owners.
