People often get to hear about or see pictures of > lace, but this is a chance to experience actual examples of different > kinds of lace. In 2002 when this box was here it spread over 8 large > tables. The Churchill Boro building will provide excellent lighting, > even more tables to spread out on and lots of chairs to pull up so we > can look comfortably at everything. We will bring our own Lace > identification books as well as the two that travel with the collection > written by Lia Baumeister. The collection comes with 11 pair of gloves, > and 4 magnifiers. > > “Analyzing Lace” a slide show with 75 color slides of lace and white > work embroidery will be shown at various times both Saturday and Sunday. > This should improve understanding of the lace The combination of the > lace and the slide show will provide an even better opportunity to > remember what is learned. > > Susan Wenzel has kindly agreed to send her wonderful items from her > shop..
