[lace] IOLI convention, airport to hotel ride share?
Hello lacemakers, Is anyone arriving at Indianapolis Airport on Saturday, July 16 around 9:30 am? I would like to share the taxi ride with other lacemakers. It appears that the shuttle service organized by convention hosts is only on Sunday.

I love all the ideas being thrown around, I think it's great that there's so much enthusiasm about the 20th anniversary. One idea in particular took my fancy, a tool box. One of the IOLI conventions recently had wood boxes made and they were beautiful..I'd love that to be one of the choices. A forever keepsake, no dating!

[lace] exchange/friendship
I have learned so much from the list, I am ever thankful. I'm not sure when I joined the list but probably about 2000 as I started making lace in 2000. I do have a question, I'm sure many friendships have been made through Arachne, but how many friendships have been made from an exchange? I have participated in several exchanges and secret pals but one in particular became special.. At Christmas 2009, I was paired with a lovely lady and we continue to communicate. We met at IOLI, Portland, 2010 and will be roommates in Salt Lake City.

Thank you to Jean and David Leader and the Lace Guild for another great advent calendar.

Thanks to Sue Turnbull and Jean Leader for these patterns. And thanks to Eve Morten for the latest pretty christmas bauble pattern, another project on my to-do list! Tamara's comment about putting thread remnants into a clear bauble reminded me of some clear baubles for sale at the Cirque de Soliel souvenier stand, remnemts from costumes put into a clear glass bauble with a price tag of $35.00cdn..and that was just remnants, no pretty lace!

[lace] accomodation in Tønder
I don't know where Francis stayed in Denmark but I think he must have been unlucky, I have been many many times and never experienced anything close to his experience. I attended the Lace Festival in 2004, I had a car so I stayed a little way out of town. The bed was comfortable, shower worked well, there was a kitchen available to make meals. I don't think I could have found anything better. My accomdations was in a private home, and there were many other guests there as well. I will admit, Denmark is expensive but what isn't these days? And.it's only a matter of a few days.we have to splurge sometime! I would suggest writing to the Tønder Tourist Board for accomodations. http://www.romo.dk/international/en-gb/menu/turist/turist-maalgruppe-forside. htm The Tønder lace festival is very popular, I have heard it being called creme del la creme!

Little did I know what it actually entailed, one does learn as we get older. They are so much more creative these days, our daughter got engaged on Friday night, she found her ring in a pumpkin that she was carving. Darren had cut a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin and put the ring box in and put it together with plumber putty and toothpicks! She was so surprised!

[lace] Report on the IOLI Convention
Hello all, I second that the convention was great. The organizers did a great job, there is an unbelieveable amount of work that goes into a function like this, up front and behind the scenes. Thank you so very much! I was in aawww of all the favours that we got, my dining room table is still full of all my goodies and lace stuff that I want to enjoy still. My classes were great, I took Tønder lace with Marianne Stang from Germany, where we learned the technicalities of Tønder Lace. For a Wednesday class I took Hedgehog Mania with Lia Baumeister, where we could chose what technique we wanted to work a Hedgehog in, I chose Russian Tape. Saturday class was Organized Chaos with Jean Leader, oh my.the possibilities, all I need is time. All 3 classes so very different, but oh so much fun. Saturday afternoon, I took a beaded bobbin course with Karen Calhoun, a great way to end the convention.a finished beaded bobbin! I now have 4 new works in progress..can't decide which I want to work on! The vendors room.Wow, a lacemakers dream! Looking forward to Portland, 2010! Irene Whitham Surrey, BC [lace] Report on the IOLI Convention Patsy A. Goodman Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:09:12 -0700 Hi, Got back from the IOLI Convention late Saturday afternoon. It was one hectic, whirlwind week. Ending in total exhaustion. After checking in on Sunday, then registering, we received lovely navy blue canvas bags and our class schedule, along with a few goodies in our bags. That night was an ice cream social, we renewed old friendships and met a few new friends. Monday started off early with classes. My morning class was with Bridget Cook. Walked into class and there is Bridget with a neck brace. Seems the week before she had fallen and broken a bone in her neck. She was supposed to be home in bed but just had to come to convention. I took her class in Idrija lace. This was an enjoyable class, with some good humor thrown in. My afternoon class was with Louise Colgan in Lace Fans. I felt that Louise was one fantastic instructor. I couldn't believe that she had five different techniques that she was teaching in one class, and was able to switch from one kind of lace to another as she went around the room from one person to the next. She knew exactly where each student was in the patterns and was able to help with everyone. On Wednesday most of the people went on the tours, but with me in a handicap scooter I choose to take an other class. I took Gros Point de Venise with Sylvia Muraria. This was a very intense class and she tried to squeeze in too much in such a short time frame. She was a good teacher but I think this class should have been stretched out to a four day class. The vendors room -- there were loads of vendors to choose from. Threads as far as the eye could see. Pillows, bobbins, gadgets of all kinds. Some beautiful carved bobbins. And books, if one dealer didn't have what you wanted the next one did. Even jewelry. Some fantastic hand made silver lace pieces. They even created a combination necklace, brooch piece of a lacemaker making her lace. It was beautiful but my funds didn't allow me to make that purchase. I attended the Arachne lunch. It was nice and we had Bridget Cook give the speech. Then there was the breakfast buffet and I don't think anyone went away hungry from that. Friday evening was the big banquet and everyone was dressed up for the occasion, with many wearing lovely pieces of lace to show off. A lovely couple danced for us and the white dress the lady wore had yards of beautiful hand made lace. Myself and Linda Knott accepted our IOLI Charter for our new group of lacemakers called The Chula Bobbin Lacers. There were meetings and programs every night. There was the big Tat Off, with also the Crochet and Bobbin Lace events. I only stayed for the first competition of the Tat Off and I was just too tired to stay for any of the rest. My purchases were way too many. But I'm sure the vendors were happy. : ) So many of the familiar teachers were there including Georgia Seitz. There were loads and loads of raffle prizes given away every day. A wonderful time was had by all, but one lady who had a bad experience, I'm sorry to say. That will be her story to tell. I've still got a lot of sleep to catch up on. Patsy A. Goodman Chula Vista, CA, USA - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
