25.01.2022 Written by Robyne Clark DID YOU KNOW AUSTRALIA HAS ITS OWN LACE?? "MULLUMBIMBY LACE" and the ‘BIMBY BOBBIN CLAMP! Some 20 years or so ago, I was taught Bobbin Lace here in Coffs Harbour NSW. I loved it so much and worked very hard to get the tension perfect and make the prettiest book marks and doilies.

12.01.2022 As the government increases restrictions on social gatherings and venues close the Committee of the NSW Branch of the Australian Lace Guild has regretfully decided to cancel Lace Days at Linnwood House until further notice. This decision has been made as Cumberland Council, owner of Linnwood has closed the venue with no indication of when it would again be available, and the Federal government has increased restrictions on public gatherings. Further the NSW Committee advises ...that all lace groups should cease their normal meetings until such time as the restrictions on public gatherings are lifted. News and Views will not be published during this time, however, should the situation improve Summer News and Views may be prepared. To stay in touch with other lace makers please use the NSW guild email [email protected], or contact one of the committee members details in last News and views

08.01.2022 We have just received notice that Barbara Underwood passed away on the 23rd April, 2020. Many here would have known her, attended various workshops all over, and of her wonderful books. I'm told she spoke with deep affection of her Australian students after each trip. She will be sadly missed by us all, and we send our thoughts and condolences to her family at this sad time. May she rest in peace.

03.01.2022 A message from Craft Events/Expertise Events Happy Easter to all! Itll be different thats for sure. I suspect well be doing more making and baking than usual; however you spend this Easter I hope you enjoy some creative pursuits.... Weve been working behind the scenes for a while now on a new online platform to connect you with our exhibitors, and with the current situation, there has never been a better time to connect online. Craft 365 will be a website where you can buy from independent craft retailers, many of whom design their own patterns and produce their own kits. Our aim is to support the independent retailers during this crisis period so they are all still around when we come out the other side. Weve been working over the last few weeks to fine tune the website. On Craft 365, therell be products to buy, and in time classes to do too, plus youll have access to exclusive promotional offers and great deals. It is accessible by subscription but since we are all in difficult circumstances at present, we are offering free sign up for the next three months. The site will be live and available for sign up from Thursday April 16, so watch out for our communication then. And a further update on craft event dates: We continue to monitor the situation in various states and venues and have made these date changes: Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair has been rescheduled to October 1 to 4, 2020. Sydney Craft & Quilt Fair has been rescheduled to October 29 to November 1, 2020. Our website will be updated soon with these new dates. For all our other event details please visit our official website www.craftevents.com.au Wishing you a Happy Easter, stay safe and keep crafting together we can get through this!
