Good morning All,
I have been having great fun over the last few weeks working the
hummingbird patterns from Louise's video. I really have enjoyed them so
much. I started with a rather pale version, (I'm a bit nervous of

How do you Explaining to my husband why I want to spend $1000 on a lace

Does your husband play golf? What's the difference between spending $1000 for
a lace conference and spending $100 a week for at least 10 weeks playing golf?
Same goes for any other spouse hobbies.

Well done, Jean! I, too, enjoyed Louise's Milanese video so very much. You
did a great job, and I loved seeing your white and pastel versions as well

his, so I sort of feel bad about

Hi everyone, and IOLI convention-goers
As a matter of interest - and I could answer it myself if I was able to go
to a convention year after year (I'd be like you, Lee-Ann, family in tent
back home...) vbg - on average, who attends the IOLI convention? All
ages (if so, many from any age group)?
Hi everyone
I debated whether to put this on chat or lace - but since many on the lace
list seem to collect stamps, and this is at least textile-related, I
decided 'lace' it is. Quite possibly any US lacemaker-stampcollectors g

Hi Helen -
So sorry to hear about the polystyrene. My gut level reaction is to
advise you to toss the polystyrene AND the surgical tape, and keep the
wooden base. You can probably find the better foam (and I can't remember
the UK name for it...) fairly inexpensively, and simply make yourself
