On a trip to Utah a couple of weeks ago I bought the cool neck scarf - it is
a bandana with moisture miser crystal in it. I wet it at an outdoor faucet( the
water was cool from an underground spring) at Bryce Canyon, it plumped up an we
hiked all day in 109 degrees and it kept us cool. I forgot
Good morning all,
Yesterday, before I went to belly dance class (just started 3 weeks ago to
loose weight since I hate exercise) I went by Barnes Noble and picked up the
Piecework, along with Threads and Vogue patterns. What a wonderful article - I
almost thought I was back in Izmir in the
Does anyone know of anyone in the US who teaches these laces? I am especially
interested in learning the Turkish laces/Oya. I am hoping to find someone on
the east coast who teaches it but will go just about anywhere.

I went with my sister to a lace day in Virginia Beach. I only went to spend the
day with my sister and buy some beads for a costuming project (I had the
dubious honor of being wardrobe mistress at the high school where I taught
math). That day I learned to whittle a bobbin. When we got back
I have been home for a couple of days but will be running back to SC to help
take care of my father-in-law (since being widowed,after 55 years,in April his
health is sliding- neither eats properly nor takes his meds). Anyway - as I
brought my pillow in from the car my neighbor asked what it
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.

Tamara,
Yesterday afternoon when I got home and checked the mail your 2-Pair Inventions
bookeet arrived from my sister. She just moved (this week) from NY to DC (her
DH is in the army). She bought it for a birthday gift from me (Sept is my
b'day) - but since she bought it several months in
Tamara,
If you go to Harrisburg I recommend the Bayside Inn. It is just around the
corner from where the convention was held last year. My sister and I had to
change hotels because we are both asthmatic and became ill within a short time
of being in our room. The hotel was very clean and
Good morning all,
As I head into my last 18 days (yes, I am counting) of my teaching career (I
started in 1972) I enjoyed the chuckle. The sad thing to say is that over the
years I have had many notes like this one. I am currently teaching high school
in a high income district of my county and
Fellow Lace Makers,
I wish to echo Susie Johnson's sentiments (Personally I would like to see you
all use your time to make lace and give up the name change ideas.). I joined
IOLI at the PA convention last August and was very excited and proud to be a
member. I don't find any bit of the name
I have been offline for a few days but wanted to thank everyone for their
input on bookmark tails. I have printed all your help notes and will employ the
help when I finish my next bookmark.
Yesterday at lace class Susan taught us various starts - headside, footside and
horizontal. She also
Last year was my first lace convention so I have nothing to compare it
to(except for math conventions which really are not as much fun as lace). I
really liked the format - as a new lacer at the time I found the all day class
helpful. During lunch break I would mull over what I learned and what
My favorite project is bookmarks..but I have problems with the ends. My braids
just don't come out right! Any suggestions on books that give directions on
making nice braids and tassels.

I am lucky enough to have Susan Wenzel as my lace teacher - it is worth every
minute of the 2 hour drive. Saturday she taught the starts, stops and turns
class and it was wonderful. She will be teaching this class in August at the
Denver convention and I highly recommend it for new lacers.
What I am thinking of is the 16 ethafoam from snowgoose and having DH cut the
block(s) at the top - similar to the 13 cookie with blocks at their site. If
anyone visits it, please take a look and give an opinion
It is another snow day out of school so more lacing. i am going to work on the
Hello - I'm new to this list. I live in Midlothian VA and have been lacing for
a couple of years and really, finally, everything clicked and am now addicted.
I take lace lessons from a wonderful teacher, Susan Wenzel (lacysusan) who has
really helped me. Last August my sister and I went to the

sale on fares now. I did book through travelocity, after checking both the air
