[lace] Re: 2015 IOLI convention July 27 - Aug 2: Hoover Library

2014-01-13 Thread Dmt11home
I know that the Hoover Library in Iowa is the repository for  many of the 
embroidered flour sacks, presented in gratitude by the women of  Belgium. 
Does it a actually have any of the lace from the Bobbins of Belgium  lace 
initiative in it? 
I find this entire enterprise to have been fascinating, and  not the least 
of the fascination is that major Symbolist artists were supporting  the 
project by designing lace works of great artistic beauty. I would love to  see 
more of it.

If you are interested in the Flour Sacks, Stanford also has a number of
them, which you could visit in California if you attend the Sacramento
convention.  It is about a two hour drive from Sacramento.  A two year
study would be a lot of fun!
