Our new Artist Trading Card (ATC) Challenge was announced in October. The theme is Star Spangled Challenge! to mark the 250th Anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, which will be celebrated on July 4, 2026. At our May 2026 LPS meeting we will display the ATC Challenge entries and vote for the winners in several categories. The challenge entries will be included in our display when we demonstrate lacemaking at the 2026 summer fairs. ATC Challenge kits are available to members at our monthly meeting in Kent.
