IOLI Lace Convention 2018 - San Antonio

It was wonderful!!!
This was my first time to attend. Met lots of wonderful and talented ladies who do all sorts of lace. I took a class in Tonder with Bobbi Donnelly. She is a very good teacher - if you get the opportunity to take a class do it.












There were vendors with so many wonderful lacemaking supplies. It is so fun to shop when you can actually touch the merchandise -versus online shopping.
Seeing the beautiful laces was very inspiring.
There were silly moments - competitions - I won the Blindfolded Tatting Competition ! and another tatter and I teamed up ( never met her before) and we were the Team Tatting Champs. She used her right hand and I used my left and we tatted away.

Lace & Sparkle

My favorite type of lace is Buckspoint. Sally Smiddy has combined beautiful Buckspoint lace with flat sequins - hence Lace & Sparkle. She creates beautiful patterns (that are for sale) -her lace is exquisite.
