Class started on Friday and continued through Monday. I took Tonder Lace and started two patterns, a mat and corner. Our teacher was Bobbi Donnelly from Pennsylvania and she brought us quite a few interesting patterns from her collection as well as a baby christening gown covered in Tonder Lace! (so beautiful)
(Below is a picture of our class as well as the baby gown : )
I spent quality friend time with Francesca and Louise as well as.......
friends from back east, Susie and Allie!
Janet, Betty, and Mariella enjoying themself at banquet!
Everyone had a hard time deciding what to buy in the vendors hall : )
Banquet night was fun! First we had the teachers showcase and then a good dinner.
Kathy, Francesca, Julie and I enjoying each others company before dinner!
Afterwards we had a wonderful presentation on Idrija lace by Allie which showed her family link to the old country of Slovenia and her Idrija lace making ancestors. She was able to take a class at the lace school in Idrija and learn the traditional methods of lacing in that country.
I am so grateful to everyone who the Winter Lace Conference of 2010 such a success.
Thank you!!!!
