from the parlor
This is where the learning takes place! You’ll find instructions, plans, patterns, and helpful hints here. Back in the day, learning would take place in the parlor, and that’s what happens in this virtual home as well!
Upcoming activities: Jennifer will be attending the International Organization of Lacemakers Incorporated 2025 Convention where she will be taking classes and also have a place in the Vendor Hall. There will be a nice selection of silk and cashmere yarn in various size skeins, for purchase. She has a limited number of Boye and Bates (USA and non-USA Specifications) available for sale, which could be combined with a yarn kit.
Below you’ll find a variety of items from parlor. Please use the form at the bottom of the page to start an order.
Classes
There are no scheduled classes for 2025. Individual learning sessions can be arranged at $50 an hour for one student or $75 an hour for two students (plus travel outside her local area).
At the I.O.L.I. Convention in Dallas 3 – 8 Aug. 2025, Jennifer will be available outside of class hours in the Vending Hall to sell materials, patterns, and limited quantities of tools to make Broomstick Lace and demonstrate her technique. Because of the limited quantities of hairpin lace looms available for kits, it is recommended you pre-order your kit here, and it can be shipped ((S & H Fees apply) or on reserve to be picked up during Vendor Hall hours at the Convention. Due to limited quantities of some kit items, unpaid kit reservations will only be held through close of business on Monday, Aug. 4, 2025.
The following crochet skills are required for Broomstick Lace Crochet lessons: Chain stitch (C), Double crochet (DC), Treble crochet (TC)
