Something to celebrate

 Hello lacers,

This year is a very important year for HLG, do you know why?
It is our 35th year anniversary!!

Congratulations to everyone who has contributed over the past 35 years to make this organization what it is. I looked up the meaning for the 35th anniversary and what I found was very interesting. It represents longevity and strength, beauty and complexity, and acceptance. Wow, I can't think of a better way to describe lace and lacemakers, can you? The 35th anniversary is also known as the coral anniversary, so I looked up the color of coral, because I always think of a peach pink color when I think about coral, but surprisingly white is one of the most common colors for coral. Again, like lace!

Heartland Lace Guild was established July of 1990, so our official anniversary is this summer, however I would like to start celebrating now in this issue by having a look back at the many hearts of the lace guild, the Pillow Talk hearts that is. 

What follows is just a smattering of the numerous hearts that have graced the front pages of our Pillow Talk newsletter.  Enjoy.

And please take a moment to think about how the lace guild has touched your life.    

Because the real heart of our guild is the one inside of you, the many members who have shared their time, skill, and generous spirit over the past 35 years.

Thank you all so much!!

And keep lacing.
