Re: [lace] chicago convention

2012-03-20 Thread robinlace
IOLI (International Old Lacers, Inc.) has an annual convention, usually in 
early August.  It is put on by a local lace guild each year.  This summer it's 
being hosted by guilds in Minneapolis/ St. Paul.  Last year it was in Portland, 
the year before in Los Angeles, etc.  It's not a trade show, organized by a 
convention-organizing company in the same city year after year.  It was in 
Rockford (not far from Chicago) a few years ago.

There may be smaller get-togethers in the Midwest US, but I don't know about 
any.  Someone may chime in with more info.

That is good, as we need, and enjoy, her contributions to this list.  

I am so glad she is recuperating well.  Best wishes from 'Down Under' to
her.

Re: [lace] Lace Stand - Simon Toustou information

2012-03-20 Thread Amy OMalley

Hi Vicki
We have been listing the vendors on our website as we confirm their 
participation at the 2012 IOLI Lace Convention in St. Paul. You can see a 
list of them here:

http://www.minnlacesociety.org/IOLI/vendors.html

Unfortunately, Simon Toustou is not one of them. I have seen his work and 
it is quite beautiful! Perhaps you can put a bug in 2013's ear (the Beehive 
Lacers) to ask them to invite him!

I liked the giraffes, but was happy to see the photos of the scarf we had been 
discussing.  Especially the one showing the start with the fringe.  I have the 
thread, purchased from Lacy Susan last year at convention and somewhere I have 
the pattern bought many years ago. Susan had sets of threads and I chose the 
autumn colors.  Now if I can put them together maybe I will finally have a lace 
scarf.  I made the link into a tiny one with a preview window.
