We had some wonderful vendors, including Holly Van Sciver, Richard Worthen and Susan Wenzel. We also had a Lacemaker’s Ally, where you could buy gently used supplies and books.

The displays of lace jewelry was very nice.

The day continued with lunch, a lace-in and a business meeting and finished with door prizes. It was an excellent day of shopping, learning, lacemaking and friends.

Lace scarf

Our next NCRL Lace Day is scheduled for April 1, 2017. Please plan to attend – you will have a great time. Watch this space for details.

My apologies for any fuzzy pictures – my camera died and I had to use my phone.

What to do with that stash of old lace? Always a vexing problem for those with their own collection or an inheritance of grandmother’s old lace moldering in an attic or under a bed. Elizabeth will present tips on sorting through dirty old stashes of old lace from flea markets or attics, how to wash, rescue and store the good stuff. What to use, what to save, what to give or throw away. This is intended for ordinary household or antique middle-class fashion lace — not for museum quality lace.

Fall Lace Day 2013

Posted on June 1, 2013 by mchase

The Fall Lace Day was held at Ann’s beautiful lake house. Golden bobbins did a great job of hosting – thank you. The goody bags were very nice – especially the biscorni and regular pincushions and the needlecases! Anitra Stone gave a fascinating presentation on rescuing raptors.
