There was no meeting in April.
The May meeting was held at the Southside public
library conference room, 7979-38th
Avenue, Kenosha, WI,
from 1-3 PM. Six members were present. We worked
on convention favors (luggage tags) and 200 are ready to
go to convention. Everyone present should record one
hour for volunteer time for this activity.
Rose Ann reported 350 hours for the past year from our
Guild members.
Cathy has ordered 12 Battenberg angel kits and the
Hardanger material for ornaments.
Sylvia brought the completed four seasons pieces that
are going to
China,
along with Chrsyantanum lace, ten angels, and shamrock
hearts to share with us.
Cathy brought the edging she is working on for a table
runner (and a basket she wove in the morning).
Helen finished her bookmark from the retreat, in
addition to smaller white ornament and rose ground
bookmark. She told us that
Puerto Rico
celebrates international lace day on the first Sunday in
May.
Therese won the machine made lace bookmark. It was made
by one of the two remaining mills in
Nottingham,
England.
The pattern is reported to be one that Queen Victoria
designed.
Our next meeting is a potluck at Candy’s house. June
10th at
noon.
She will provide brats and hot dogs on the grill. Bring
a dish to pass, drink, and chair for a fun afternoon.
