Hello from Reno. I am un-lurking to say what a pleasure it was to meet with
the Arachne group last night at the IOLI Convention. Thank you to Janice Blair
for setting up the meeting. It was good to see people I first met in
Arachne’s early days.
I am enjoying Convention and taking Holly Van Sciver
We finally had an in person meeting.There were seven of us who got together
and had a good chat. It was lovely to see people who I had not seen for many
years, including Penny Boston and Nancy Neff. I managed to recognise both even
though we were wearing our masks. Rosemary Horr couldn't join us as
Kenn Van-Dieren sold the Arachne pins at one of our lace days. I had one
already, so did not buy one then.
