>>>I got my letter from the Portland IOLI convention<<< Lucky people, I will have to wait another week or more to hear how my luck runs!! Mail takes 7 - 10 days to get here.
Anyway, my UK Lace magazine arrived yesterday (Friday), so I still have some of that to read! I have just finished a 2 day demonstration, which is a bit tiring, but the lace caused quite a lot of interest. I had my little travel pillow with me, and I was working on a piece of Early Lace from the Rosemary Shepherd book. It is a spiky edge, like the edge on a ruff, - and it is looking SO nice. I love these Elizabethan laces, but I am working it as Rosemary says, - with only a few pins, so I am finding it a whole new "Gee Up" to my tensioning, which may have got a bit sloppy over the years! Windmill Crossings without a pin in the middle has caused me to stop and think, - which can't be All bad!!! :) So I have had 2 days of lacemaking (and talking!!), and have enjoyed seeing this new piece of lace gradually come off the pillow as I worked. I have 6 heads finished. Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz. lizl...@bigpond.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
