Subject: Re: [lace] Demonstrating
Does anyone remember the spectacular fashion show the Puerto Rico
lacemakers held at the castle by the sea during their IOLI convention many
years ago? bBeautiful laces newly made for baptismal dresses, communition
dresses, weddings, quinceaneras and just for nice.
Handmade lace still was obviously a part of their lives.

Geraldine Stott and myself were invited to teach lacemaking on a caribbean
cruise back in the 1980's. We flew to Puerto Rico where we taught for two
days before boarding the ship for the cruise and it was there in Puerto Rico
that the local lacemakers put on a fashion show for us. It was excellent
and the work was exquisite - all gorgeous pure linen dresses etc embellished
with the most beautiful hand worked lace and stitching. I remember one
little girl in particular who really fancied herself as a fashion model, and
the organisers just couldn't get her of the stage - she was like a true
professional on the catwalk!
