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 -
I just uploaded a scan of my second piece of lace at the IOLI convention

viewed enlarged it is disappointing to see the wiggly gimps. Pompi told us to

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
advance sort of affair, any kind of bobbin lace or any kind of
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
never tried it because I thought that it would be difficult.

It's chemical lace - embroidery (done with a Schiffli or similar
machine) using cotton thread onto acetate fabric which was then
dissolved away chemically leaving only the cotton embroidery thread.

You might be interested in this test. It takes quite a while to do but is

this very thing and this test relates to it.

I have been reading the letters about me sitting in on Greet's class, and I
