| Some time ago the Canadian
Lacemakers Gazette reported on their 5 meter club. What a
wonderful idea! After talking about it, we decided to adopt their idea in our
guild. Since most of us cannot devote too much time to our 'little hobby' (as some family
members see it), making even three yards of a lace edging is a wonderful accomplishment.
The HLG-Three-Yards-Club is not just a gimmick, its purpose is to encourage
lacemakers to make more then just a few inches of one pattern. In this way they will get
really good at it. Lacemakers in the 'olden days', when lacemaking was a cottage industry,
would only work one and the same pattern all their lives. That's why their laces were so
beautiful.
Rules:
-
| You do
not have to be a member of the HLG to participate. |
- Make at least three yards of the same
pattern of lace.
- Send a photocopy of a section of the
lace.
- If possible, send a photo of you and/or a
photo of the finished project
- Tell us if there is a story which goes
with it.
- The HLG-Three-Yard-Club, is free, but ...
if you send $4 with your registration we will send you a
commemorative Danish 'club bobbin' - see picture above.
