COLONIAL LACEMAKERS
“We are members of a local lace group called the Colonial Lacemakers which is part of a larger group, Chesapeake Regional Lace Guild (CRLG) that takes in DC, VA and MD, - I'm VP of the that. CRLG is in turn part of International Organization of Lace, Inc. (I.O.L.I.) which includes the US and Canada. IOLI has annual conventions - a different state each year. This year it was in Nevada. CRLG has annual Fall and Spring Lace Days with guest speakers and classes. This Fall the speaker and teacher for the class is coming from Belgium. Our group celebrated International Lace Day at the Williamsburg Library this year (2nd photo) by inviting locals to come and try their hand at lace-making. We will again be at the State Fair in September 27th demonstrating lacemaking.”
