Perhaps the Group Formerly Known as the International Old Lacers could
rechristen itself as A Lace Guild. The indefinite article a would exempt the
group from charges of ambitions of world-wide domination or provincial
arrogance, as it acknowledges that it is simply one among many lace
Jenny,
This is great. You obviously have a 'way with words', have you worked in
journalism before?
To others who may wish to try the same.
Jenny wrote a 'local' story about a local person, but with references to the
global whole. She made it short and informative, with references to web sites
Another thought.
Since The Lace Guild, the Lace Society and even The Lacemakers Circle are
all already taken, perhaps the lace association primarily, but not exclusively,
located in North America might call itself the Lace Confederacy.
Traditionalists will appreciate the understated
Devon's idea is good, but the Confederacy also had a tradition of slavery (so
did some Yankees, but the southerners get all the bad press). So where some
find Old tiresome, I'm afraid that Confederacy in these United States would
offend even more. Could be wrong.

Hi everyone - I, for one, am enjoying the discussion about the IOLI name
even as a spectator (i.e. non-member) - it is good to question things in
an organization, and keep in tune with why the rules, bylaws, and names
were made, make changes as is timely, and don't lose sight of the origins.

question of whether Canadians mind being called American when that term has
often been appropriated for their domineering neighbor down south.
Hi Sue,
I admire your work with wire. As we are busy talking about new names, how did
you come up with the name for your lace? Can't say I have ever heard the word
molossoid. Is the ground in Larkspur also wire? How did you attach the double
wire around the outline? It looks to me like you

Exactly. I don't think any lacemakers actually mind the name enough to not join
the organization, but if we're hoping for some public support, or we want to
show the wider public that lace is something interesting and worth doing,
the name matters a lot, and the current one doesn't seem very

The best description I can give for how I came to adopt this name is to repeat
what I already said to Sue Babbs privately:
Molossoid honors my french bulldogs (for those who insist on using english
names for lace, this would be bulldog lace, though I doubt the term catches
on). I didn't want

Well, can you believe I belonged in 1981? I joined when we lived in Bucks,
England and a lacemaking friend there gave me the May and July 1978 issues of
the Bulletin. Her brother in New Jersey gave her a one-year membership as a
Christmas gift, but she never renewed after that year.
That's definitely a new one, and very a propos, at least in the US. Got
it from two sources simultaneously, which proves how current the
