So I was reading this review of a new exhibit in NYC:

A New Show Takes an Enchanting Look Inside the Estrado, the Opulent But Hidden World of the Spanish Elite

because it came up in my Google Alert for "bobbin lace". I wanted to see the lace they had. It turns out, it's a remarkable painting of lace on a dish. Here's the link to the catalog display of it for a better look.

I wonder if they have laces that we could see on a field trip someday.... 

Has the NELG ever hosted an IOLI convention?

I just received notice that my application to teach tatted earrings has been accepted! The earrings are created using Stephanie Wilson’s ANKARS-style Hair Clip pattern. Looking forward to giving back a little something to the group that helped me get started with tatting!

Piecework magazine has a podcast series. The current episode is about lace, with Elena Kanagy-Loux.

You can listen from the page or from your favorite podcast app. 

Just signed up for the Oct session! Anyone else going?

Beginning Bibilla (Closes 10/3/24) — A Twisted Picot

Hi folks--

I'm thinking I'd like to try one of these beginner kits. They have a video series to accompany it.

If anyone else is interested, maybe we can combine shipping from Ireland and then distribute them at meetings or Sunday lace or whatever? Or I can mail them out and you can arrange to pay me US shipping. 

If anyone is interested, let me know and I will contact them about a combined shipping order. 

Let's say the deadline is Sept 30 2024 to let me know.
