Upcoming L.A.C.E. Meetings and Programs

Programs generally follow regular 10am business meeting at the Clarendon Hills Public Library and a brief lunch. Every meeting (held on the third Saturday of the month unless otherwise noted) includes "Show and Tell"



2008, August 16th Meeting.  Bobbinlace: Guipure Insertion presented by Doris O'Neill.  Pattern originally appeared in an early 1975 IOLI bulletin, with instructions given in the Doris Southard mode, that is, each pair was numbered, and every movement of each pair was described.

Doris has written the original instructions more simply, and graphed the pattern on 10 squares to the inch (thread size 50/2 linen) and also 8 squares to the inch (40/2 linen).  Substitute any equivalent threads you have: program aim is to do a few sample repeats, not to produce great lengths of lace.  16 bobbin pairs needed not necessarily continuously wound, four pairs can be colored if you wish.  Pattern name: "Periwinkle."  Please also bring all other usual lacemaking supplies.  Insertion would be nice used on the full skirt of a little girl's dress.

2008, September 20th Meeting:  Yo-yos presented by Jan Frederickson.

2008, October Meeting: Christmas Ornament presented by Janice Blair.

2008, November Meeting: Chrochet Jewelry with Metalic Thread presented by Kathleen Cantwell.  Details TBA

2008, December: NO  MEETING
