Had a great week at the IOLI convention. I discovered I love bedford lace after
my first class with Holly Van Sciver and bought a couple of books on it. I had

Hi everyone,
Since we're on the subject of convention classes, here's my wish for any
lace convention: a drop-in class with a teacher. I can think of several
ways to do it. It could be an official morning or afternoon class, pay in

viewed enlarged it is disappointing to see the wiggly gimps. Pompi told us to
use yellow gimps around the inner leaves as that is how they used to d

I have really enjoyed hearing the reports from the Convention. Our guild
meeting was last night, so I got to see and handle some of the bobbins and
other goodies our members who went to the convention brought home with them.
They each had a treasure box full of give-away items - som

I'd hate for someone to mail an item or make an item on my say-so only to have
