The Metro Chapter of IOLI is the closest group to Eastchester in
Westchester County, New York, and we would be happy to welcome your friend.
Our meetings and classes are held in Bergen County, NJ, where Gunvor
Jorgensen lived and taught for many years.
Meetings are usually in a home in the Westwood area of Bergen, and classes
are offered in Ridgewood. Apparently this is about a 45 minute trip from
Eastchester, and I'm not sure whether (a) going south to the George
Washington Bridge and then northwest to Westwood or Ridgewood, or (b) going
north in Westchester to the Tappan Zee Bridge and then south to the meeting
and class places - would be an easier or shorter trip. Actually these
locations in Bergen County are roughly due west of Eastchester, and if we
could only devise another way to cross the Hudson River, the trip would be
much shorter - as it is it depends on the hour and the traffic.
Our Lace Days in Westwood are November 7 and 8 this year, with vendors,
demos and an exhibit on Saturday and classes on Sunday. Perhaps your friend
could visit us at that time - we'd love to meet her.
Someone recently commented about the fact that conventions were never held
in this area, but actually the 50th anniversary convention of IOLI was held
at the Hilton Hotel in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ in 2003, and the hosts were the
Metro Chapter, Lost Art Lacers of Sussex, NJ and the Cranberry Lacers of NJ.
I am aware that there are some gals who gather to make lace in NYC with a
teacher, and I believe that they use the Spanish vertical lace pillow - they
are not connected with IOLI.

Subject: [lace] Looking for lace group/teacher near East Chester, NY
Hello all,
A friend of a friend is moving to East Chester, NY shortly and is
hoping to find a lace group and teacher in the area. Can anyone on the
list provide advice?
