Over 80 lace patterns were received!
Watch this space to learn how to order. Information coming soon!

We invite you to participate in creating the pattern folder for the 20^th OIDFA World Lace Congress and General Assembly 2023. The pattern should be for either bobbin or needle lace, or a combination of both techniques.

The pattern could be your design, or a traditional pattern from your country which is free of copyright. Patterns published in the pattern folder will be chosen, from those received, by an independent jury. The jury’s decision is final.

The pattern book will be available for purchase in printed and digital form. On-site Congress registered attendees will receive a free copy of the digital pattern book.

The pattern book will be in full color so diagrams can be drawn with color. Each page should be in a separate file, NOT multiple pages in one file. Send text in .docx files.  Send pictures in .jpg or .pdf files.  The paper size is A4 (21 x 29.7 cm).  The margins are at least 1 cm.  

Authors of the published patterns will receive a copy of the digital pattern folder as a thank you.

Quality drawn patterns (hand or digital) should be sent by April 30, 2023 to Afrodita@LaceSpace.org together with a good photo of the finished lace and a submission form. Submission form is available here and from Afrodita@LaceSpace.org, where you can also get additional information.
