The virtual Congress classes and lectures will be held the week before and the week after the activities at the onsite Congress. Watch for Bulletin 4 for more information.

In 2018 the Congress was held in Zaandam, Netherlands.  The Conference book, "We Love Lace," contains over 60 lace designs in color completed in a variety of techniques with prickings and details. Patterns are appropriate for a variety of levels.  This book would make a lovely gift.  Book measures 8.5" x 12."
