My friend has found a roommate for the convention!
I’m looking forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones
too! I just finished the lace for my fan and it is resting in the pins until I
get in the right frame of mind to mount on my fansticks from John Aebi.
See you in San
I have just spent two hours going through the photos and videos of the
convention on IOLI Facebook.
The photography is marvellous and very clear. The videos are brilliant. I was
singing along with the Mummers. At the end I felt as if I had really got the
atmosphere of it all.
Everyone looked

I enjoy attending a week long lace conference. It gives time for classes and
other activities. The shopping opportunity is great. The type of facility
will make a difference in cost for rooms and classes. Also for food. Some
years my budget just can not support a hotel conference.

I am curious what other lace makers think about the IOLI Convention format
since the enrollment seems to be down this year. What could the reason
be? Is it too long to have a full week? and therefore too expensive both in
terms of days off and hotel and meal expenses? Or why do you think?

Hi Karen,
I like having a full week devoted to lacemaking, and I don't mind traveling a
ways. But what I definitely do not like is convention hotels with expensive
rooms, expensive and crowded restaurants, crowded elevators, and makeshift
classrooms in guest rooms.
Maybe the next

Maybe the next convention host could book us all on a cruise ship! It
wouldn't cost any more, and might be a huge draw... Not to mention the
publicity it would give to lacemaking!

I do not have any complaint about the convention being a week long. The only
reason I am not able to attend is the expense of flying, hotel and meals. If
the convention were within driving distance I would probably be able to manage
the other expenses.
