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
