Dear Lace Members,

   Lacemakers all over the world have demonstrated their resilience during the pandemic. We’ve had to ADAPT…and we DID!
  
Many groups have continued to meet and encourage each other long distance via available internet platforms. I’m happy to say that our group has kept up the monthly meetings via Zoom, restarted the Newsletter and we have even found new lacing friends.
  
Other positives are being able to hear lectures and take classes from instructors all around the world. The number of online class opportunities has increased. This year the IOLI convention or UnCon 2.0 will be virtual and the classes offered by the Lace Museum. The Doily Free Zone has a virtual symposium and lace camp in June as well. The OIDFA-USA site also includes an invitation to the Free OIDFA lectures as well. There are plenty of opportunities to interact with other lacers, learn and share ideas.
  
As wonderful as all those opportunities are…it is really nice when you attend an in person meeting or workshop. Chatting and lacing, unlacing and complaining…and I hope soon we will be able to include that in our activities soon.
   This July/August LACE will have a display in the Orland Park Library. If you are in the area pop in and take a look.
   Meanwhile, keep in touch, attend a zoom meeting if only to say hello and let us know what you are doing. Send in photos of your latest lace work for Show and Tell.

   If anyone is interested in learning bobbin lace email us, we can figure out a way to get you started. Email me kanellaatc@yahoo.com and visit a zoom meeting as well.

Happy Lacing,
Past-President Kanella
