See you there!

Fall into Lace - lost idea

Have you ever been inspired to take up a lace project only to be unable to becasue you didn't bookmark the page?  happens all the time I'm sure.

As fall descends from the mountains I had wanted to share a simple lace making project with the readers.  It was a set of tape lace leaves that had been sewn onto a fall quilt wall hanging.   Unfortunately I can't find the project to share so I will simply have to inspire you all to take up a fall project.  Or if you are really on the ball a winter one.

National Lace Day

October 1 is National lace day. I do hope that everyone has had a chance to work on a project today. If not, there is still time. Below is a free pricking for a doily.  Enjoy and happy lace making.

 

When using thinner yarn 5 or 6 pairs.

Convention news:

• There was talk of adding some Saturday sessions and the overwhelming vote was for it.

It is time to pay our yearly dues: $10.00.  Remember that we aren't supposed to exchange money at the library so practice your mobster-bribe handshakes. *wink*

Shirlene is going to demonstrate an easy table runner.  It is perfect for a quick holiday decoration. 

Saturday Meeting

The August meeting will be this Saturday the 25th from 10-1.  It is to be 3D tatting or a project of your choice.

Also, Springville heritage days are looking for lace demonstrators for the 15th of September.

August Meeting

Meeting this August will be at its usual place and time.  For those who Tat and can't wait that long the Utah county section of the Boniville Tatters will be meeting at Corn Wagon Quilting in Springville (second saturdays) from 1 - 4.

For the quilt lovers: Springville Museum of Art has there annual quilt show up if you would like to stop by and see some nice work.

June meeting

June meeting will be on the 23rd.  I don't know yet what we will be working on, but there is always the things for convention.

Thanks and such

Thanks to everyone who came to the demo at the museum.  June meeting will the 23rd and then we will not meet until August.  Please remember there are many demo opportunities over the summer at 4th of July, 24th of July, and the small town events.  Also, Farview Lace days.

Janet will be teaching Bucks this Saturday.  If you are interested this is a good pattern to learn by.  Bring your pillow and bobbins.  I'm not sure how much of what you'll need.

Your own projects and company are just as welcome.

March Meeting

March is the pot luck.  It's also show and tell.  Bring something yummy to eat for lunch and show off your projects.

We'll be working on the pin cushions for convention.  For forming the "petals" you'll need a large sized embroidery/crewel needle.  X-stitch floss will be provided, but if anyone has floss they want to get used up, bring it.

We'll be meeting on the second floor in the kitchen area.

Keep You in Stitches

Both of these cartoons graced my computer this last week. Enjoy.

Button Tatting

Button tatting was the thing this Saturday.  With Marie showing us how to work around a 4 hole button.

A number of important ideas came up.  Perhaps the most pressing being that we need to reconstruct that hours from June of last year.  All demos, teaching, etc.  This includes hours spent on ANYTHING for convention.   We need this by May so try and bring what you know for next month.

We still need a bunch of "60" for convention, as well as bags.  Next month we will be finishing up the pin cushions.  It's also the pot luck and show ans tell so finish up some projects cook up something yummy and come have fun.

Lace Forums

http://laceioli.ning.com/

The national guild now has a forum site on ning.  The link above will take you to it so you can sign up.  This is the same forum style used by the Needle Lace Talk group  - HERE .  You can join discussion groups about specific types of lace, post photos, and share things.  I think it's a great way to connect with other lace makers.

Also, if you don't already know about it there is a fantastic online tatting group Intatters

This Year's Agenda

We will be doing classes every other month this year.  On those months that are non-classes, we will be making & working on the bags and pillows for convention in 2013.

If you are a newcomer we will gladly help you out with any and all lace questions you have.

For the record, the current presidency will remain until this fall when we will then have elections.
