Hi everyone,
Who's going to the IOLI convention this year? And for people who've been
before, what's it like? I'm thinking of going, but it is pretty expensive, now
that I've actually added it all up - do you think it's worth it?

Dear Weronika,
I missed last year's IOLI in Harrisburg, PA, and it was the first I've missed
in many years. They've been held in the East, the West, and in between, and
each one is the best money you'll ever spend, and the best time you'll ever
have. The cost is not expensive when you
Here in the UK visitors are allowed to come to the annual general
meeting of The Lace Guild so I was surprised that visitors were not
allowed at the IOLI meeting (my friend was turned away too). Perhaps
it's a country difference in the rules governing such organizations?

that I was a new member and would just like to sit in the back and observe,
that I was there mostly to keep my friend company.

While it was unfortunate that the situation happened, consider this. IOLI
stands for International Old Lacers, Incorporated. That last word has more
meaning then most of us give. After all we are just a group of people
getting together for making lace. But in fact the organization is required
Hello,
This was my first IOLI convention. The class I took (Carrickmacross)
was terrific. I loved meeting old friends and making some new. There
were some glitches (especially annoying were last minute schedule
changes), which I hope will give food for thought for those planning
next year's

I had a fabulous time at the IOLI Convention. We met many
arachnes and other wonderful lace makers! Devon and I got
to have dinner together by chance one night - what fun
Finally I have completed reading all the back digests that accumulated whilst I was
off to convention. We drove so it took an extra 3+ days but was good fun. 3
lacemakers in a van, taking turns, one to drive whilst the other two knit, can't have
idle hands!! I made one and a half scarves.
I'm back from the IOLI Lace Convention. I have to say, anybody who didn't
go missed a wonderful time. It was great being able to have a single class
all day instead of having to bring twice as much equipment and switch
between techniques every day. Sure, there were a few glitches, but no more

The bit I liked best about this one is Robin's confidence that the first

While I don't even know for sure that I will go to IOLI this year, (contemplating
OIDFA in Prague - can I do both?) for me the issue with IOLI is the time - a whole

Classes start at 9.30 a.m., with a 20 minute break for morning tea about 10.30
a.m., and an hour for lunch at 12.30. Classes resume at 1.30 p.m. and run
till 3.30 p.m. So the

Yes, Robin, you can pay a fee to shop the days you are not in class. Debra
Bender, co-chair of the Convention quoted me $7. That's like charging admission

At the annual convention of the Australian Lace Guild, we have workshops which
run from 9.30 a.m. - 3.30 p.m. each day, with a 20 minute break for a
morning-tea cuppa, and an hour for lunch. Workshops are usually either 2
and/or 4 days, depending on the subject.
