International Organization of Lace, Inc. &
Doris Southard Lace Guild cordially invite you to attend
July 27 through August 2, 2015 at the
Marriott Coralville Hotel & Conference Center,
Coralville, Iowa.
Note: the convention begins on MONDAY.
The International Organization of Lace, Inc. (I.O.L.I.) holds a convention
each summer for people who are interested in making lace, collecting
lace or just learning about lace. Many classes are offered throughout the week, including 12-hour, 24-hour and 30-hour
classes, and there will be some 3-hour, 5-hour and 6-hour classes. Our teachers come from the United States, Germany,
England, Scotland and Japan. Learn to make bobbin lace and needle lace, or how to make lace by knitting, crocheting,
tatting, and doing Hardanger embroidery. Classes range from beginning to advanced and from traditional to
contemporary.
Our Vendor Room brings together businesses from around the country, who sell lace books and patterns, thread, tools
and other lacemaking supplies, and even antique lace. The Exhibit filled with very special lace and lace-related items will
be open daily to convention attendees. Thursday and Saturday will be Public Days when the general public is welcome
to visit the Vendor Room and Exhibit.
Tuesday evening there will be an opportunity to get an oral appraisal for lace items. This activity will be free with a full
registration and $5 for the public to attend. Appraisals will be done to benefit the convention, $5 for one item or $10 for
three items. Other events include a fun “competition” called the Tat-Off, an optional evening meal including delicious
Iowa sweet corn, the Teachers’ showcase, a dinner, a luncheon and a banquet, favors and a raffle. Two bus tours will be
offered on Thursday. One tour will go to the National Czech and Slovak Museum in Cedar Rapids and the Herbert
Hoover Presidential Library and Museum, both of which have lace content. The second bus tour goes to the Amana
Colonies in the morning for sight-seeing, shopping and lunch, and nearby Kalona in the afternoon to visit a quilt
museum.
Convention registration opens on February 1, 2015. For more information about the convention and how to register, go
