Hello All! What a fun time at the Pittsburgh Folk Festival yesterday! The Pittsburgh Lace Group put on a nice display & as a member I sat in on the festivities. Amy brought her tree covered with lace Easter eggs, plus lots of samples of her work & her roller pillow. Dewi, Margot & I brought various projects & explained our work to many visitors. I was pleased that so many took turns at the "try it" pillow--several inches were added to the ugly bandage! It will be cut off the pillow at the end of the season & be used as a garland on the PLG Christmas tree. Lots of literature was distributed & a lady from Lithuania & one from Ukraine hope to visit us again on a regular meeting night. During the lunch break, I took a tour of the booths & found some students from Turkey selling Oya & other handcrafted items. I posted a photo on webshots of the adorable "cherries" that I purchased. Then at the Scotland booth, I found a lady making woven lace on a loom. Very interesting stuff: she had woven a huge sampler as well as decorating her nationality costume with pieces of her work. Note to self--take a camera next year! Of course the food/drink, music & entertainment were a blast as well. I wanted to share some scissor eye candy I saw online at the French Needle. Usual disclaimers! Lisa has posted up some new ones made in Nogent--exquisite handles with price tags to match, moan. Still free to peek though! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA where we've had monsoons all day, the rain gauge is full--over 6 inches today & Walnut Creek near our home looks like chocolate milk with white cap waves
