Dear Alice, Realize you may be one who deletes my memos without reading. I decided not to write for a while and see if anyone missed my postings. After 3 months, with no comment, I am definitely not going to try so much to help with information. Here (again) is pretty much what I've written in the past. Perhaps someone in your local guild belongs to OIDFA? I have all their publications for the past 22+ years, and keep them because they publish so many nice articles about lace all over the world. During this time-frame (22+ years) there have been (or will be) Lace Congresses in Finland and Sweden. Participants have extended their trips by flying through Copenhagen, staying a couple nights, and taken advantage of museum exhibits in Denmark.Â
Recommend you ask your local guild members if anyone belongs to OIDFA and if they have saved their magazines. There is much to learn from these. Yes, there are books. However, they are written to be used over many years. The way to find out about recent years is through the magazines' national guilds and what they publish for their members. If you read OIDFA, you'll find mention of them. The individuals you might like to meet write for these magazines. This is important to know. Sometimes you can search for these individuals via a computer search. There are quite a few lace authors who sell books have their own websites. Do research, by searching for them via computer. This is not the first time I have responded to inquiries such as yours. If any think they will travel in the next few years, this is something to print and put in the loose-leaf binder I recommended Arachne members set up for individual research.
