President’s letter, January 2022
Here
we are into a new year. I hope everyone is staying safe, well, and
happy. Also having a little time to be inspired and make some lace.
Speaking
of inspired - Sherry Mathers mentions that her group is about to
resume in person meetings and will start a group learning project to
make a heart-shaped lace for February Heart Month. You could join the
project via zoom by emailing Sherry for information at
Also,
Susan Merritt sent information about a Flanders Lace competition. It
is meant to stimulate interest in the design of “contemporary”
Flanders lace. You can get all the information from the Kantcentrum
website.

Jackie
and Kathy are working together to give us a directory with each of
our photos by our name. It will help new people
figure
out who is who. Could even help us old timers since we get to see
each other so seldom these days! If you haven’t sent a photo in yet
you can send it to Kathy Ogle or Jackie Campbell.
W
e have arranged to demo at the Dallas Quilt show at Market Hall on
March 11, 12 and 13. Dorothy will be getting in touch to set up
times. You can check out the details at quiltersguildofdallas.org
Registration

Louise
Colgan’s Milanese workshop will be held for us October 22, 23, and
24 so mark your calendars to join the fun. She will also be
conducting a workshop for the San Antonio lace group on April 2, 3,
and 4 so contact Sherry if you have an interest in attending that
workshop.
We
hung our lace ornaments on the tree Kelly brought for our Christmas
party. It looked fantastic. Jackie, Stacy, Peggy, Kelly, Debbie,
Kathy, and I proudly hung our masterpieces. We had great fun
visiting, eating the good food, and picking our many, many prizes.
Jackie
will be organizing the supplies and us so that we can
finish
cutting and assemble the bobbin holders that Arthiss designed and has
been working on. We will give these as gifts from our lace group to
the attendees of the 2022 IOLI convention. When one attends
convention you come home with a nice pile of fun and helpful
treasures from various lace groups.
Best
wishes to you all and I hope to see you at a meeting soon,
Marilyn
