Thanks, Lorelei. I am very excited about this panel called Following a New Thread Line. There are four artists who have studios in Brooklyn, New York and New Jersey who are participating. One of them is Manca Ahlin whose large lace installation in the Stix restaurant at the Indigo Hotel was so widely appreciated by our internet lace community. One of them is Crystal Gregory who studied with Lia Baumeister while on a study grant in Holland and was profiled in the Bulletin of the International Organization of Lace, Summer, 2014. Kaelyn Garcia teaches bobbin lace (to hipsters?) at the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn. J. Carpenter has several lace works to her credit, including some fascinating ones based on architecture. I don't know the other participant, Susie Silbert, personally, but she is a curator in the New York art scene. I am a bit of an odd ball in this group, I think. But, I suppose my purpose is to provide historical perspective. I think it will be a lot of fun to present bobbin lacemaking as a fiber art technique to the art community. I have to admit to a bit of trepidation in that I am not that comfortable in front of groups. Also, what am I going to wear? Devon
