Years ago, Tess told me about the quarterly Canadian Lacemaker Gazette, and I subscribed immediately.
Living in a state bordering Quebec and New Brunswick, and with a direct ferry trip from Maine to Nova Scotia possible, we sometimes have lace guests from Canada, or visit them. We have a easy relationship with lacemakers across our northern border. You often read postings on Arachne from Bev Walker. Bev has been the Volunteer Editor, for the last 13 years of the Gazette's nearly 30-year history! That is a long time to keep up momentum. In this period, the Gazette has added more and more color. Counting the covers, it has 24 pages of content. This is a newsy publication, with photos of lacemakers joining the 5 Metre Club, reports of various lace getaways (including *Lace Camp*), patterns, antique lace sharing, lace exhibits, ethnic lace articles, lace day reports, lace travels, book reviews. Always, a lot of photos and touches of local enthusiasm. Articles submitted in French are published in French (not many of those, but a nice touch). The Gazette brings lace news down to a very personal level of enjoyment, and is always a pleasure to read cover-to-cover (and save for my lace library). Publishing is moving from British Columbia to Manitoba. Now is a good time to shout a big "Thank You and Well Done" to Bev Walker and her friends, and "Greetings" to the new volunteers in Manitoba.. _www.lacegazette.com_ (http://www.lacegazette.com) Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
