The February 11th meeting was held at the
Southside public library conference room,

1-3 PM.
Nine members were present.
The following items were covered: Rose will

Sylvia will teach at the retreat. Cathy will order
Battenberg kits. Hospice tree raised over $500, which is
less than previous
years. Discussion about should we do wreaths
instead, have tree/wreaths moved to other locations as
in the past (Sew and Save/ Lemon tree), sell tickets at
Senior
Center
holiday sale, poster at demo. Decision held as we have
time to plan. Track volunteer hours.
Helen showed us her bolster
pillow ( used to make needle lace), along with a roller
pillow she made, prickings, samples, and supplies she
has assembled. She was able to make pillows following
videos with material at her home. Very informative and
interesting with all questions answered.
Sylvia brought
picture of koi fish she had done, along with her
Japanese project for a mother-in-law, and math theorem
bobbin lace.
Several members had items that were brought and
re-homed.
If you have spare items related to lacing that
need a new home, bring to share with others at each
meeting.
