Lace Study Box by Louise Chuha Lace, Lace everywhere-but not a piece to touch! At least, not with one's bare hands. In conjunction with our annual meeting, the PLG decided to have a Lace Weekend. And obtained the Lace Study Box from IOLI. The door to one of the rooms of the Churchill Boro building was tightly closed during our morning meeting so that we could keep our minds on the business at hand, instead of drooling over all that lace. After the meeting when the door was opened, we found the room full of tables covered with every imaginable kind of lace from the IOLI lace box. Each table held a magnifying glass and at least one pair of white cotton gloves so that no oil from our hands could harm the treasured collection. I couldn't even begin to list all the kinds of lace that were there, but we all spent lots of time examining them and determining whether or not we agreed with the identification labels that were attached to most of them. “Analyzing Lace” a slide show from IOLI, helped us understand what we were seeing. Lacy Susan joined us for most of the weekend, giving us the opportunity for one of our favorite pass times--shopping! There seemed to be more items from Germany this time than I remembered; I found some German made bobbins, which I just had to have. Of course I bought 18 pair so I'd have enough to use on a pillow, being rather compulsive about having as many as possible of the same kind of bobbins on my pillow. Pittsburgh Lace Group Future Events Summer Camp ~~~ July 9 through the 3 of 13 7/9/2008 4:44 PM Lace Threads http://pittsburghlace.8m.com/Lace%20Threads%20Summer%202007.htm 12th It is that time again. Yipee!! Pittsburgh Lace Group’s Fourth Annual Summer Camp. It is hard to believe that this will be the fourth year that we meet four consecutive summer evenings to make lace or learn about things. At the Annual Meeting we decided that this year we would make more ornaments for our Easter Egg tree. As you can see, it looks rather sparse. Everyone should be able to get a good start on an ornament, if not complete one. There are patterns available in our library, and lots of thread in the drawers, or you may bring your own. Here is a list of the supplies that you might need. A pillow; Cover cloths or the plastic circles that Judy Zeiss taught us to use; Bobbins a dozen pairs or more depending on the pattern you pick; Pins; Thread if you want to use something particular; Contact Paper to cover a pattern; Pricking card or manila file folder and scissors to cut it; Scissors to cut your thread; Thread to use for magic threads; A Crochet hook; Cold drinks; Funny stories, and anything else you can think of. that you might need to make lace. Amy, Suzanne and Gretchen will be available to offer assistance.
