Janice is correct, we are working on having "pay as you go" concessions available for a quick lunch at the hotel. We are meeting with the hotel tomorrow about this very topic, so I will have more information soon. I'm not sure if complete box lunches will be available, or ala cart items. Which would you prefer? The concessions would be open to all attendees, but the Arachne folks would gather in a designated portion of the ballroom. A similar setup would be available for the OIDFA gathering as well. We will also be discussing options for breakfast.
Regarding classes, spread the word to your embroidery friends that one of the new owners of the Nordic Needle, Debi Feyh, will be teaching Hardanger embroidery throughout the week. It's unfortunate that Decorah's Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum is a 2.5 hour drive north and too far to include in our scheduled tours. But if you are traveling from that direction I highly encourage a brief stop! They have all sorts of lace techniques on display and even a bobbin lace pillow!
