I am also gathering bobbins. threads, etc. and preparing prickings classes at the IOLI convention. I've cleared a pillow to take with me. The more pillows I buy, the more unfinished projects I have!
My classes are Flanders morning and afternoon with Kathy Kauffman, and Buttons and Braids with Gil Dye on Weds. I was so glad to get my first choice classes! I'm looking for a good lamp to use in class. The base can't be large but it should be stable. A clip-on lamp would work on my lace table. Any suggestions? I really hope that we will have an Arachne lunch or other gathering during the convention. Last year's lunch was so nice--thanks, Arlene! i hope to bring raffle gifts, too. Finally, I think I will opt for the printed IOLI magazine rather than the online version. I would probably want to print much of it and put it in binders, so paying a little more for the printed mag. makes sense to me.
