Re: [lace] Happy International Lace Day
It is interesting that there is a discussion about when International Lace Day is. Several different days have been brought up and reasons why one day for the world would/would not be feasible. Since 2015 there has been a Facebook group (International Lace Day) with over 1,500 members. This year all these lace makers from around the world will be celebrating on July 1st. Just letting you know. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com.

Re: [lace] Happy International Lace Day
If you look it up on Google, it is shown as September 29 for 2018. I agree if it really going to be celebrated as International, then one date should be chosen. However, to make lace outside to attract public attention, one date doesn’t necessarily work for the whole world as summer here, is winter down under. July 1 is Canadian national holiday so many people are out and about taking part in celebrations and not thinking about finding somewhere to make lace. Malvary in Ottawa where our national holiday is fast approaching with forecast of a heatwave. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] Happy International Lace Day
Jeri As I understand it, this International Lace Day idea first appeared on the facebook in 2015, by Bolillera Maribel (that is the name she uses on facebook). This is the thing about the internet; anyone and everyone has equal freedom to create or post anything they like, without a bunch of people standing behind them and authorizing their activities. It results in a certain amount of chaos. But it also means that the individual has a great deal of freedom to do whatever they like. It is my impression that the national lace groups did not get together to establish an international lace day. So this lady just went and did it on her own. If her effort works, well and good. And it does seem to be working. Lorelei --- From: Jeri Ames Subject: Re: [lace] Happy International Lace Day I think we wrote in the past that all the major lace organizations should get together and standardize this celebration, if it is to be called "International". It would be nice if our major guilds communicated with each other, and if one major guild volunteered to take this on as a special project. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Happy International Lace Day
 Actually, if remembered correctly, different nations have declared different dates as being International Lace Day. I think we wrote in the past that all the major lace organizations should get together and standardize this celebration, if it is to be called "International". It would be nice if our major guilds communicated with each other, and if one major guild volunteered to take this on as a special project. I'd suggest one officer in each group should be assigned this responsibility. Maybe the corresponding secretary? Probably OIDFA has the best network to provide oversight. What do others think?  We need to preserve and develop as much consensus as possible about lace, and that means cooperating.  We are a small percentage of the world's population. No one nation's lace experts has all the answers. If all could agree in spite of national, traditional, and language differences, we might die knowing organizing lace activities will survive to the 22nd Century and beyond.  Do you remember when two major annual lace conventions/congresses were scheduled for the same dates? It was really a problem for lace teachers and students who could not be in two places at the same time. That got resolved (permanently, we hope).  We have a universal Internet to use. Agreeing on one International Lace Day per year is just one of several things that need attention in order to be "united-in-lace".  Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center In a message dated 6/25/2018 10:56:45 AM Eastern Standard Time, devonth...@gmail.com writes:  Reading Lin's email this morning I was eager to post International Lace Day on the International Organization of Lace's facebook page.
