My impression is that they may be a Spanish speaking group. We heard
about them when we were demonstating in NY but I have no idea how to
contact them. If anyone ever figures this out, I would be interested
to hear.

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.

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?
