Letter
from the President
Dear
DLS Members,
I
guess we are going to have to call this letter the “occasional
president’s letter” rather than the “quarterly”. It has been
a busy year for me but I’m hoping it will all be more tranquil
soon. I’m sure all of you have been busy, busy too.
I
know we have been busy making flowers for convention. Sherry
Mathers, Heather Norris and Amy Groff, along with other Alamo Bobbin
Lacers have been making flowers and mounting the ones we all have
made plus all the other work they must do to organize the convention.
Sherry sends her thanks to all of us for participating in flower
making and all the other ways we are and will be helping with the
IOLI convention. She would love to see you at Convention to thank
you in person.
Kathy
Ogle did a fantastic job of organizing our making of water bottle
holders to hand out at convention as the Dallas Lace Society gift to
attendees. Many of you worked to help get them done and I know they
will be appreciated. What could be better than a bottle of water in
San Antonio in July?
Many
of us demonstrated at the Dallas Quilt show in March. It is always
fun and worth the effort of hauling decorative items and lace
necessities. If you haven’t given it a try before you should. We
have another opportunity to demo at the Plano Quilt show August 10
and 11. A little smaller show but still lots to see and a good
chance to entice new members.
We
had an invitation to speak about lace and demonstrate from the
Halcyon Ladies Club of McKinney in February. Dorothy did an
excellent job of speaking on lace history and Debbie Stone, Stacy
Tackett and Pat Bailey demonstrated making lace. The group
generously gave us a donation for our library in appreciation.
Arthiss,
once again, designed a beautiful display of lace. The Lancaster
library was so appreciative and praised the beauty of our collection
and display. I was honored to be the chauffeur and ladder climber as
Arthiss was in the midst of eye surgeries while working so hard to
make an artful display of our lace pieces.
Be
sure to keep Debbie Stone informed of any volunteer hours and travel
time related to volunteering that you incur. She keeps our records
and reports numbers to IOLI for us so that we can remain
accredited.
One
of our favorite teachers is coming to town to lead a workshop
September 22, 23 and 24 – Louise Colgan – of course. She will be
teaching Milanese and registration is open. The fee is $120. You
can reserve your spot by sending a check made out to Dallas Lace
Society to Marilyn Waisanen at 1918 Olive St. Apt 801, Dallas, 75201.
Our
next regular business meeting would be July 31.
Hope
to see you on a Tuesday or Saturday soon.
