Letter
from the President
Dear
Members,
We
began our spring with a very enjoyable and informative workshop with
Judy Aycock. We were all challenged by Buckspoint and Floral Bucks
but we learned a lot under Judy’s patient tutelage and I have seen
some great progress made by those in attendance. A lot of “light
bulb” moments are happening! Debbie and Doug’s gracious hosting
made for a very relaxed and comfortable vibe which, I’m sure,
inspired our lacemaking. We enjoyed seeing our out-of-town friends
Susan Merritt, Sherry Mathers and Heather Norris. Arthiss has a
great line up of workshops for us this coming year and next.
At
the April business meeting the minutes prepared by Debbie were
approved as submitted. It is great to have someone who can organize
all our chatter. Linda Cole reported that we currently have 33
members and our finances are in order. Rowena has been conveying our
birthday wishes, get well thoughts and sympathy messages to our
members. Please let her know of any important events in our member’s
lives. She is also, as Historian, glad to receive any items that the
group should be saving. Be sure to label the item and note the names
of those involved. Arthiss is exploring ideas for better organizing
our library. We are fortunate to have a member with her experience
in managing library materials. Thanks to Kelly for keeping us
informed and increasing our internet visibility. What a team!
Unfortunately,
Dorothy no longer has the time to organize demonstration events so if
there is anyone ready to help with that please let me know. Upcoming
events will be the Plano Quilt Show August 12-13, 2016, State Fair in
the fall, and the Dallas Quilt Show March 10-12, 2017. Grateful
thanks to Dorothy for all the many years she has been organizing our
demonstrations.
State
Fair has released their 2016 Competition Handbook at bigtex.com.
Page 43 gives the details for entering. Original Bobbin Lace is
category 1153 and Adapted is 1154. Junior (12 – 17) category is
Original 1191 and Adapted 1192. Hope you all will enter and item or
two.
We
have recently discovered that the library, once again, opens at 10 AM
on Tuesday. We decided at the business meeting not to change
our official meeting time (12 to 3) just yet but some Tuesday
regulars plan to arrive at 11 like we used to and take advantage of
the ability to begin earlier. We’ll see how this goes for a
few months and then revisit our options.
Hope
to see you there - at any time you can come,
See
you at lace,
Marilyn

If
you have a lace pattern that you have designed and would like to
share IOLI is looking for you. See message below:
This
year we are looking for patterns for the beginning lacemaker!
Although, any level of skill is greatly appreciated. This is a great
way to continue our mission to promote and teach lacemaking. By
giving our Charter Chapters a CD with patterns, it helps them
continue to teach lace to their members and hold workshops to perhaps
gain more members.
If
you have something to add to the 2016 Gift CD you may send it to me
at president@internationalorganizationoflace.org
If you can please send them by PDF format.
The
deadline has been extended to May 6th.
