It's been a wonderful 2019 and I am happy to announce the completion of my new book for intermediate and advanced patterns! Ever since I came back from my last trip with the Lace Guild of Oklahoma, I've been editing, drawing, and writing instructions. This book builds off the first book in the series for beginners, so it is only recommended if you know the basics of needle lace. Check it out in the shop here!
I am very grateful to all the lace guilds and fiber art groups who have reached out to me this year to teach in person! I love teaching it and enjoy learning about the other crafts and skills you're doing. Thanks to your feedback, the third book coming out hopefully in 2020 will be on edging patterns!
I want to thank Bonny and Jan for bringing me out to Oklahoma to teach early August! The tour of bricktown and the air force was great. It was awesome to see your husband Allen support the lace guild activities. It was also cool learning about the family history with the lodge, and it was fun meeting his parents who have an interest in a variety of crafts like drawing, weaving, sewing, and historical reenactments. Lastly, I also want to thank Joan for inviting me to tour the Paseo art district together!
If you happen to be in the Oklahoma region looking for some other needle artists to hang out with, please contact: contactlaceguildok@gmail.com
Have a wonderful Fall/Winter season! I'll be taking this time to make many more floral necklaces!
And don't forget to check out the student gallery as I have updated it recently!
