I know the calendar says it
is winter, but the temperature outside tells a different story. I hope all our lace ladies and gents-if there
are any among us-are having fun at their pillows and will be bringing show and
tell for all to see. Are you ready for
Elena’s Cantu’ class? We will have other
announcements on up-coming classes so keep tuned in.

changes necessary to the October 2011 minutes provided through email and at the

will ask if a 3 day class is an option.
Cathy
might teach a Honiton class Summer 2012 in a big and bold pattern rather than
normal small Honiton.
Opal
might teach another knitted lace class for September 2013 during Tuesday
lace-ins.
Librarian
Report: Marilyn has completed a new list for the directory and submitted it to
Linda. Also, the library has several VHS tapes for learning lacemaking and would
like to get them converted to DVDs. Debbie volunteered her husband to try
converting them.
Demonstrations:
The demo at El Centro fashion class was a great success. In fact, the
instructors suggested that someone approach the school with a formal class as a
paid instructor.
Dorothy is researching some teaching
materials. DLS is not allowed to do a paid class format; therefore, a member
must do it on her own.
There
are possible demos for DLS in Forney or the Dallas Quilt Show (mid-March). New
forthcoming
Membership:
There are currently 27 members. Anyone that hasn't paid will not be included in
the directory. Rita will supply a piece of lace for the directory cover since
she's moving back to Belgium.
Hospitality:
Karen missed January 2012 birthday cards since she was out of town.
Old
Business: DLS will return to email/paper newsletters instead of blog per member
preference.
New
Business: Lacy Susan website is available though there is a new owner.
Opal
encourages members to lace some stars for the IOLI conference (Refer to IOLI
website). The stars can be submitted to IOLI without participating in the
contest.
The
Meeting was adjourned at 1:15 PM by Opal.
Respectfully submitted,
Debbie
