#WIPWednesday is all about our #IpswichLace event this coming Saturday!

Event details: https://nelg.us/Weaving-threads-of-lace-history

The museum will let me sell my Ipswich lace jewelry (necklaces and pins) so I'm doing the final details. I am also bringing Karen Thompson's books for her if you wanted to see them before buying. They are hard to find in person.

#GatherFiberSymposium has had so many great events this month that I absolutely could not keep up with them.

I was at this #GatherFiberSymposium event yesterday, and we all yearned to be at the protest. But I will say that hanging with artists was really good for my soul. Artists are taking no shit.

Anyway: so many great events coming this month if you like textile arts. And our #IpswichLace event made the #Boston Globe today.

The #GatherFiberSymposium got noticed by the local media! We were psyched that they invited our lace group in to their month of fiber art celebrations. There are a ton of great events going on.

More details from The Boston Globe (or search archive.youknow for an unpaywalled version).

Gather 2025 explores fiber arts in Greater Boston

Gather 2025 is a monthlong symposium dedicated to highlighting the work of everyday stitchers, weavers, felters, braiders, and more.

Well that was fun. Went to the #GatherFiberSymposium maker event at the Eliot School. Never been there. One of the oldest schools in New England.

Made hand-sewn thank-you card they are sending to partners and donors. Lovely chatter with new fiber artists who came to make stuff.

It also amazes me to walk past so much local history. Home of the first woman admitted to MIT.

I'm going to the #GatherFiberSymposium meeting today. Because connecting in the community is especially important right now. I'm bringing #tatting. #Boston www.gatherfibersymposium.com/events/maker...

Current reading, part of the #GatherFiberSymposium events (for next April) is a book talk at the Attleboro Arts Museum.

I don't know if I'll get to the discussion, but I wanted to see the book anyway. Glad I did!

There's a section on lace with useful tidbits and references.
