Demonstrations
The Dallas Lace Society exists to share and promote the craft and art of LACE. If you see an opportunity to demonstrate the making of bobbin lace to a group of people, get the contact information to Dorothy Morgan. It’s usually a lot of fun and it does a good job of spreading the word about our passion.
Classes
Judy Aycock taught a
Buck’s Point Lace Class in January.
Everyone learned a lot and had a lot of fun, as usual, with Judy.
This coming summer we
will have a Honiton Class with Cathy Morris.
It’s scheduled for May 30, 31, & June 1st in Dallas. Make sure to contact Kathy.ogle@swbell.net to reserve
your spot.
We are also having our
annual Milanese Class with Louise Colgan on Oct. 24, 25 & 26th
in Dallas. Again, contact Kathy.Ogle@swbell.net to sign
up for this class.

DLS Library News
If you would like to access our library, you
can find it online at LIBIB.COM. The library also has a nice bobbin-winder that
you can borrow when needed. Please contact Arthiss at
arthiss.kliever@gmail.com to check out a book or with questions about any books,
publications or use of the winder. These
items can be mailed to members who are not in the immediate area and returned
later.
We were recently contacted by Melanie Dunn who inherited a large
collection of tatting and lace supplies from her mother in law. We are so glad that she thought to get these
items to people who would truly appreciate them. Arthiss will be creating a list of the books
that we will be adding to the existing DLS Library. Details soon.
