Our group, at Kurri Kurri in NSW, Australia, has our last lace day of the year close to Catterns day on the last Thursday in November, so we celebrate this as well as Christmas. We are together for the whole day and each of us contributes a dish for sharing through the day and I do the Catterns cakes. Also each of us contributes a small gift to a basket for a lucky dip at the end of the day. We make lace and chat about each others work, confirm dates for next years meetings and talk about ideas for our two day workshop which Ethel Zuccolotto tutors for us in June each year. It is a casual, friendly unstructured day. Ethel creates patterns for us based round a theme so there is something to appeal to differing tastes and abilities, she then comes to us each month to follow up We are exceptionally lucky in that we have the use for free of a large room with tables and chairs and adjoining kitchen at the local community centre.
So ............ I am looking forward to next Thursday - and must remember to check my supply of caraway seeds and currants for the Catterns cakes. - from Phil in Maitland NSW - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
