What are your lace activities for 2021?
On the 12-13 June 2021 the symposium will be held live online & the workshops with some of the most talented lace makers around will go live! Early bird discounts are for the 30th November 2021. Sadly we have to cancel our weekend in October 2020 BUT Good news is that due to the generosity of Janet of Yarrawonga Lace & the other groups along the Murray we will have our Bobbin Along the Murray in Murray Bridge next year. This will be 22-23 & 24th October 2021.
(Fingers & toes crossed that Corona Virus won’t stop us) If you are all in agreement we will continue to hold your registration & bobbin money for next year. If anyone will not be able to attend we will refund your money & forward any bobbins ordered to you. I would also ask that you tell anyone that you may know who was coming of the cancellation. Just in case we miss advising someone. Lastly we have held of as long as we could hoping things would get better. Here in S.A. we have been very lucky with the corona virus as it seems to have stayed away from us. We would like you all to know that we are thinking of you all & hoping that each & everyone of you stay well & safe. Lots of love to you all xx BIG PARTY NEXT YEAR Murray Bridge Lace Josie Leckie Secretary 0417896629 19th OIDFA General Assembly and World Lace Congress | Postponed Dates

Before the industrial revolution, Nottingham was the heartland of English lace making. When the craft was mechanised the traditional lace artisans settled in France, where lace was still being made by hand. Then came the revolution of 1848, which turned the Nottingham artisans out of France. Three shiploads of them came to Australia in 1848 to make a new life. Come and hear their story!  Event details:
