Minutes 9/4/14 Continued ——
Minutes September 4, 2014
Jackie reported on the 2015 NW Conference. We
have received the Scissors from Australia. The little
covers will be drilled so that a ribbon or fob can be
attached so you don’t lose your cover. We can do the
tatted fobs with beads. The pattern will be shared and
all that can will be encouraged to help make them.
Remember that we need lots of butterflies. Especially
bobbin lace ones. We have many tatted items already. Check out the web site and keep up with the
latest as things are added there. We will contact a
Barbershop Group for possible entertainment in addition to the Ukulele Group.
Meeting was called to order by President Beverly Davis who
introduced us to a new member Kaleesa Thanasouk who
wants to learn several types of lace and also how to add the
purl to her knitting skills.
Jean Reeves announced that Sandra called with the message that Dorothy Glovka has passed away. We will sign a
card next meeting to let her husband know we enjoyed having her in our group.
Informal treasurer’s report for April beginning balance of
$35,544 and ending balance of $35,143. Jan also reported
that there are two options for filing our non-profit status and
will have more information for next meeting so we can decide
which method to use. 501 C3 would give us the ability to give
receipts for donations.
DEMO—not listed on our demo page - the Antique Appraisal
and show at Hwy 18, Willamette Heritage Museum in
McMinnville wants us back for the day. Time is 10 am to 4
pm. Come a little early to set up
Marilyn Charles reported that we have been invited to Flock
and Fiber again. September 27 and 28 9:00 to 4:00. We
voted to be on the lawn weather permitting. Marilyn will let
them know.
Pauline informed that Vashon Island is giving a Rug Hooking
class on the same weekend as Flock & Fiber. It runs Thursday through Sunday. Check their web site if interested.
Clara Foster (former member) brought in some items she
donated for our Lace Day this year.
Beverly has been researching some options for our Lace Day
in the future as we seem to be outgrowing our present location. She brought a detailed map and information on the Milwaukie Center at 5440 SE Kellogg Cr Dr, Milwaukie, OR
97222. Also she is getting more information on the Milwaukie Covenant Church which is very close to the Milwaukie
Center. Both centrally located considering we are drawing
from Washington and all the way down to the Salem area.
Milwaukie Center requires a $300 deposit and that goes
against the $75 per hour cost of rental. The church pricing/
availability is not confirmed yet. It was decided to get the
information on that space as well before voting on the options.
Shelly was able to find a contact for Patrick Davis who
we noticed had many tatting items in the State Fair.
We will try and get him involved in our group. His tatting was very nice.
Meeting was adjourned and Jackie showed how to
frame our crafted items.
Respectfully submitted,
Jean Reeves, Secretary

Keep making butterflies—many are needed to put on the
rainbow centerpieces and just to generally spread
around. Big, small, medium. Any lace, but especially
bobbin lace ones. Just keep them coming. Give them to
Alice.
Jackie reports we have scissors now for our goodie bags
and we will need to make fobs so wind your shuttles and
be prepared when she gives out the pattern to tat with
some beads.
As you can see, Butterflies were well
represented in Austrailia at OIDFA—
you will recognize some of these as we
have seen them before here, but now
they have flown to Australia and back.
Well traveled little
winged creatures.
Keep looking here for more things you can do related to NW Conference. I know there are many
things planned. Let Jackie know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, etc.

OIDFA – ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA, 2014
OIDFA began with a meet and greet of the tutors on Sunday evening. The Pacific NW was represented
during pre-Congress classes by Jackie Nissen, Lynda Libby and Elena Dickson of PLS and Lori Ferguson
and Darlene Ihrig from Washington. Registration was early on Monday, with classes to follow. The organizing committee did a wonderful job organizing classes, meals and sleeping accommodations in a boarding school. The class days were filled with early morning classes, midmorning tea, late morning classes,
lunch, afternoon classes, and to finish the day, we had afternoon tea. Classes went well and were enjoyed. There was a combination of Bobbin and Needle Lace classes.
On Thursday afternoon, Lynda, Elena, and I went to the Congress site at the University of Adelaide to set up our U.S. exhibit and
Elena’s tutor exhibit. Kudos to our Portland Lace Society for their wonderful contributions of lace to the U. S exhibit. The butterflies
soared on the back panel under the USA sign. The U.S. attendees took turns at the booth and I know I had many wonderful comments on the exhibit.
Friday morning was the official opening followed later in the day with a lecture. Attendees were free to look at exhibits and visit vendors. (I must admit about midmorning I was looking for that midmorning tea and pastries..) Saturday was set up for the craft crawl and
other excursions. The craft crawl went around Adelaide to visit exhibits that had been set up off site. The day ended with a 5 star banquet. Many who attended said it was the best they had ever had. On Sunday we attended two lectures, got our last bit of shopping
done, visited exhibits, and attended the closing. The Slovenia group ended the Congress with a beautiful slide show of their country.
Those interested in Idrija should seriously consider attending this Congress in 2016. One of the tours will include the town of Idrija as
well as many other beautiful places to see.
This is a needle lace called Cordonnecot. Developed
by Bridget Fairchild. It represents a Sea slug that is
found on the Great Barrier Reef. Jackie
USA was well represented with lace for display
