Beginner Pillow set up to lace.
Donna Fousek is sharing her Beginner's Pillow Kit constructed of Garage Insulation.

Excellent for a "Give-It-A-Go" pillow during demonstrations, or a class for beginners, which a beginner could purchase to take home.

Designed so there is no clean up during the pandemic of 2020.		 The Lacemakers of L.A.C.E. have held interclub contests in lace making.

These were challenges with rewards of a full year membership for 1st place and a half-year membership for 2nd place. The contests were open to anyone who is a member.

We are submitting the contests held thus far in a booklet which our lacemaking friends might use as creative inspiration or clubs might use as their interclub contests. Click here for the booklet (PDF)

We thank those members who helped to make the contests available.
