Re: [lace] Arachne gathering at IOLI Convention
Good morning, all. As of now, I am planning on attending the lunch gathering of Arachne. Last year was the first time I attended. Itâs quite fun. And a chance to meet more lacers. My husband will be traveling with me this year. There were no other lacers from Nebraska that were able to attend. So we thought we would make it sort of a vacation. The shop will be closed during the time that we are gone. However, lacemaking is top on the list. Looking forward to being there.

[lace] Looking for assistance on bobbin lace pattern
Good morning, all. Seems like I contact this list only when I need something. Sort of like the child only phoning home when they need money. LOL : ) I do read all the posts. Not able to participate much since I am a shop owner and very involved in my husbandâs bee business. Today, I am looking for help with a pattern from a book: â75 Quick & Easy Bobbin Lace Patternsâ by Veronica Sorenson. This book is in the library belonging to the Lincoln Lacemakers and possibly originally belonged to Cristina Banyard who has passed away. The pattern is on page 48 - "Tommy Tortoiseâ designed by Karen Williams. Would love any and all suggestions on making this pattern. Two of the ladies I have taught some very basic torchon lace to would like to make it. Iâm not very good at starts. Really should take a class at convention sometime on starts and finishes. But I see that there isnât one at this yearâs convention. : ( We are looking at enlarging the pattern and using a heavier thread, LizBeth sz 80 since I carry that in my shop and would prefer not to use a thread as fine as the pattern recommends. Correct me if I am wrong, but couldnât the outlining be done in a tape lace fashion - whole stitch, cloth stitch, whole stitch? If left to my own knowledge, I would start with the longest tape going along the outside edge of the turtle. Then doing each of the shorter tapes joining in to the outside edge and/or each other. We would probably use more simple fillings due to the limited experience of the two beginners. Probably spiders, maybe rose ground Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

[lace] IOLI Convention
Good morning, all. The convention in Coralville was wonderful. I had a great time. My morning class was Hinojosa with Sylvie Nguyen. Learned yet another tape lace - seems those are my favorites. My afternoon class was Russian Tape Lace again with Sylvie. She helped me fix a problem on an old project and got me started on a new project. Again, making tape lace makes me happy. Thursday I spent the day with Karen Bovard doing Teneriffe/Sol Lace with the afternoon session learning Paisley. It was quite fun and I hope to get those projects done. The food was great and the concessions for breakfast and lunch worked perfectly. Also got to eat at some good restaurants - Old Chicago, Iowa River Power Restaurant and The Back Pocket. So much fun to travel and try new places. The teacher display room is one of my favorite events. Iâm alway so in awe with what I see. Some are my favorites and even though I donât care to make all the laces, I certainly appreciate the work. It goes without saying that I spent some time and money in the vendor room. So much to choose from. Fortunately there were three of us who traveled together by car so we had room for all of our purchases. I especially loved The Hat Lady. So interesting and so much fun! Thanks to all who worked so hard to put this on. And thanks to all the guilds who donated goodies. Looking forward to next yearâs convention in Indianapolis.

Re: [lace] 's Gravenmoer and a bolster pillow
Thanks to all who answered my question about the bolster pillow for ’s Gravenmoer. I have let my friend know how supportive you all were. Now we will see what her decision is for convention. Diane - your picture is pretty awesome. Makes want to do a project that is a little larger than the bookmarks and Christmas ornaments that I have been working on. Maybe one day soon. Thanks again.

[lace] 's Gravenmoer and a bolster pillow
Good afternoon all - Is it possible to ’s Gravenmoer technique making a scarf using a bolster pillow? I have a friend who wants to take the class at IOLI convention in August, but she has always worked on a bolster pillow and therefore feels most comfortable that way. She doesn’t want to request the class if it isn’t possible. Thanks for any help. And - see you in Coralville, IA.

[lace] IOLI Convention
Good afternoon all - This was my third year attending convention. Once you go you will always want to go! I live in Lincoln, NE USA and I traveled to Sacramento, CA on Amtrak. It was a long trip but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I downloaded some audio books from the library onto my iPad so I could listen while I rode - tatted some, cross-stitched some, stared out the window lots just enjoying the scenery. My morning class was Bruges with Elizabeth Peterson. I learned an amazing amount of new things. Was able to finish a flower motif by Wednesday afternoon only because Elizabeth was kind enough to open her room that afternoon for anyone who needed help. I really wanted to get it done so I could start a new piece. And that I did on Thursday morning - the trefoil - used a pale green DMC sz 80 tatting thread. There were 12 in the class and everyone was doing different patterns. Elizabeth was wonderful about getting around to everyone. In fact, the whole group was great! I hope I can finish the trefoil and start another flower before I forget what I learned. Did lots of videoing on my iPad which should help a lot. In the afternoon, I took the tatting class with Randy and Gary Houtz. What fun! I met them quite a few years ago but hadn’t taken a class from them. There were 14 in that class. We learned a different technique every day. Finished each motif on my return home trip on the train. Once again, they make sure they get to everyone so you can learn lots. I’m always in awe at the Teacher’s Display night. That would be my dream - to be able to make most of those laces and do them well. (There are some techniques that I am not as fond of as others, but, boy, do I appreciate the work!) The War Lace presentation given by Karen Thompson was so very interesting. The lace collection belonging to Lia Baumister was awesome. How could you not get enthused after seeing such wonderful things for a week!?! And the vendor room - as always - had so many tempting things - and I did bring home a good number - books, bobbins, a new commemorative cover cloth. Now I am home - running the shop - selling needlework supplies - having guild meetings. Not as much time to do what I want to do. But every minute I can make lace, I’m happy. Hope to see some of you next year in Coralville. I know I have already made plans to attend.

Re: [lace] good teachers
Good morning all - I'm interested in this reference to an internet correspondence course. Is this available for bobbin lace? I'm aware of what the EGA does for needlework and I believe SAGA has correspondence courses for smocking. Bobbin lace and tatting? Sounds interesting. Would appreciate information. Thanks.

Re: [lace] Lace Lady Designs
Hi Kim - Cris Banyard did indeed pass away on December 11, 2010. She had lived in Lincoln, NE for many years and was instrumental in the beginnings of the Lincoln Lacemakers. She moved to New Jersey to be closer to her sons. One of our members, Paula, has been in touch with one son quite a bit and as a result, our chapter was so fortunate to receive all of her books to put in our library. We have our monthly meeting tonight and I will see if Paula has a suggestion as to how to handle this. I'm sure she would be honored to have you use her pattern.
