happy spring ....

 

I (heart) mail - over a couple weeks I've enjoyed reading:

 I think this is my fav issue of the Bulletin OIDFA.   Turkish Needlelace article & 'how-to" -- New Zealand Rangirua Exhibition - Teneriffe -- and MORE.

  EGA Virtual Education.   What an exceptional kit for a 2-day workshop.   (zoom).

  Piecework magazine.  

• Unforgotten Revolutionary Lacemakers of Ipswich by Mary E. Mangan, Gail MacLean, Karen H. Thompson, Jill Hawkins, Rosalie Bares, Carolyn Wetzel, and The New England Lace Group

Following the IOLI Lecture o Saba Lace .... I was intrigued!!!   The patterns and information are excellent.... some remind me of Nanduti.    Book available thru IOLI library - the lecture/video is available via zoom thru the IOLI webpage.    Excellent presentation IMO.
