Lace Day 2013:
Thanks to all involved in the Fourth Annual Lace Day. Congratulations on another successful
event. This year, we introduced 27
newcomers to lacemaking!
As a result of this event, Monica has created a Facebook
page for Northern Lights Lacemakers and has included 114 photos for people to
view. It was launched on June 2, 2013. We are getting “Likes” and comments from a
number of people involved in the art of lacemaking. Thank you Monica!
Save the Date!
Our 7th Annual Fall Retreat will be held Saturday, Nov. 2 and
Sunday Nov. 3 at St. Peter’s Anglican Church. Optional activities can be developed for “off
site” activities Friday pm and Saturday pm.
Details to follow!
Folklorama : Here is your chance to visit
the many pavilions that feature lace in some form, either in costumes,
demonstrations or displays. We are hoping for an invitation from the Belgian
pavilion. There may be an opportunity to demonstrate bobbin lacemaking to the
public and perhaps generate some interest in fall classes! It looks like the
pavilion will run during Week 2 this August.
View the photo gallery on our blog, some photos were taken one of the
years we did demonstrations.
