Lace Challenge

I.O.L.I. Lace-Challenge-9

From IOLI:

 " Challenge 9 for IOLI members is to participate in Maggie Hensel-Brown’s Community Lacemaking Project.  If you have never made needle lace, this is an opportunity to learn by making a small leaf.  If you have made needle lace before, this is an opportunity to demonstrate your skill.  A page of leaf patterns, 38 pages of instructions and two video lessons are provided.  The website is https://www.maggiehenselbrown.com/community-lacemaking

To see the leaves that have already been made and are on their way to Maggie, visit  https://lacechallenge.internationalorganizationoflace.org/lace-challenge/lace-challenge-9

Teachers (20+ teachers from so many different lace disciplines) displaying their designed and worked art pieces.

Proceed into the vendor room where there is something for everyone; books, tools, finished items for sale, mementoes, jewelry…oh, so much more!!! Then, when you can tear yourself away from all the goodness, proceed out the door down to where you can partake of a bag of popcorn and a glass of lemonade.
