Congratulations Marilyn and Debbie on your Texas State Fair Winning entries!!!!!

 

          

                         Classes

  

Thanks to Louise Colgan for coming to Texas again this year for our annual Milanese Class.  Here are a few examples of the beautiful work being done.  We’ll be doing this again next Fall-Oct 24 - 26, 2026.

   

 

It’s still possible that we may be able to have Judy Aycock teach a Buck’s Point Class early in 2026. 

 

Next summer, we hope to be having our annual Honiton Class with Cathy Morris in Dallas.

 

 If you are interested in either or both, please contact Kathy Ogle at Kathy.ogle@swbell.net.

 


 Demonstrations

  

 The Shawnee Trail Days in Frisco at the end of Sept. were a lot of fun.  Thanks to the members who came out to demonstrate the art of bobbin lace.  We hope to do this again next year as well.


The Mansfield Founder’s Day Celebration earlier this month gave us another opportunity to show off the skills we use to make bobbin lace.  It’s always a treat to meet other lacers and to plant those seeds for the future.  Nice work Yall!

 

Dorothy Morgan is always looking for events like these.  It is our goal to spread the knowledge of what we do to others.  If you think an event might work for this, just let Dorothy (centumlittlefingers@yahoo.com) know about it.

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.

 

 

                            Volunteer Hours  

 

As you all know, we document our volunteer hours.  Our goal is to teach the skill of bobbin lace-making to anyone who has an interest in it.  Please take time each quarter to estimate and report the number of hours you have spent toward our goal.  This year we anticipate a lot of time spent just on the convention alone.  See the By-Laws for qualifying hours and report yours to Debbie Stone at dlstone@swbell.net as soon as possible.
