Promoting the making, collecting and studying of all laces throughout the New England area

The members of the New England Lace Group have been busy throughout the year making ornaments for the annual Ronald McDonald of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts fundraiser: "Trees of Hope". This is the 30th anniversary of Trees of Hope, and our first year collaborating with RMHC. Hopefully it will be the start of many years helping this very worth cause.

The Trees of Hope festival opens this Saturday, December 7 and runs through Sunday, December 15. More details are available on their website: https://rmhc-ctma.org/trees-of-hope/.

Thank you to all the lacemakers who helped create such a beautiful tree!
