Guild of Needlelaces AGM 11th October 2014

[Maureen Bromley]

The Guild of Needlelaces has now held its Lace Day and AGM for this year.    They had workshops, troubleshooters to help with problems and an exhibition on display, just to mention a few.   Although I could not attend the event, I have seen several reports which makes me envious that I was not there.     If you want to read more about the event, then click onto Needlelacetalk or the Guild of Needlelaces website www.guildofneedlelaces.org where the pictures of the challenge (dragons this year) can be viewed as well the competition (Fantasy Birds).    Enjoy ladies and be inspired to try.

Barbara, I meant to also say scroll down once you get on the 'Biennial Competition' section so you can see the Fantasy Birds.    It also shows some of the other years entries.   Maureen

I am sorry you were disappointed with the Guild of Needlelaces website.    I will email Mike, the Chairman and webmaster and tell him that link isn't working.    But if you go to the top where it says 'Competitions' and then click on the 'Biennial competition' it should show you the various Fantasy Birds which were worked last year.  I hope you can find it, if not, come back to me and I will try and help further.

Nice to meet you too.

I just went to your guilds page and was disappointed when I click on 'click here' where that pretty blue bird is and it didn't work...;-(   I am such a bird lover and really wanted to see the rest of them.  It looks like you have a pretty active guild.  I belong to a lace group here, but sometimes I would like to do something, like set off a firecracker or something to wake them up.  I shouldn't talk as I am behind on my bobbin lace, but I've done quite a bit of tatting over the last year.  Now I want to get back into bobbin lace again.    Nice to meet you!
