Letter
from the President
Dear
lacemaking friends,
Fall
is finally here! Our Christmas Party will be here before we know it.
The date is December 14 from noon to 3ish. Stacy has agreed to
decorate our room at the library. (Hopefully next year will be at
the new library!) Kelly will be taking RSVPs so that we know how
many place settings to prepare and she will keep track of who is
bringing what for the potluck luncheon.
At
the party we will have door prizes, raffle items, and the lace
exchange. If you have any items (they do not have to be lace
related) to donate for raffle or door prizes, please bring them that
day. The lace exchange, in case you are new to this, is as follows:
You bring a lace item you have made, wrapped so no one can tell what
it is or who it is from, and place it in the center of the table
(discretely). Then, after lunch, numbers are drawn and, in turn,
each lacer that contributed an item gets to pick an item. We all get
to enjoy seeing what everyone has been working on. Even if you are
thinking “I’m too new to lace, no one will want my item”,
forget that. We still love to have your items and see your
progress. We were all there once! or twice! or ………
We
enjoyed our demo time at the Plano Quilt Show and did some much
needed(?) shopping. Thanks to Debbie, Kathy, Kelly, Linda, Stacy and
myself for volunteering. Next came our day at the State Fair.
Always a fun and busy time. Thanks to Debbie, Kathy, Kelly, Pat,
Stacy and myself for volunteering. Now let’s hope for new members.
We
had some beautiful pieces winning prizes in the State Fair this year.
For original design in Bobbin Lace, Arthiss won first place with her
sunflowers. Kelly won first place for her tatted grape bunch. Lisa
won first place in needle lace. Interpreted Bobbin Lace design,
Stacy won First Place with her Phoenix, Kathy was Second with her
Flamingo, Kelly was Third with her Fish, and Debbie was Honorable
Mention with her Fan. Kelly will be posting pictures of the winners
and their items. I hope even more of you will participate in 2020.
Of
course, Louise’s workshop was a great hit. Thanks to Debbie and
Doug for hosting and to all who were able to attend. I’m seeing
some delightful items being finished. She will return on Sept 26,
27, and 28 of 2020 so mark your calendar.
Dorothy
has offered to teach us Tenerife lace making, and Kathy has invited
us to east Texas. Now we just need to pick a date sometime in the
early spring of 2020.
The
classes and teachers for IOLI 2020 in Mesa, Arizona have not been
announced yet, but the hotel is taking reservations. Be sure to
mention that you are attending the IOLI convention to get the special
rate. It will be at the Hilton Phoenix/Mesa and the local phone
number is 480 833 5555.
Another
workshop opportunity is the Winter Lace Conference in Costa Mesa,
California on February 14 through 16. For more details contact

Best
to you all,
