Thanks for all the kind comments. The Beds was all made by Louise (in the black top with the Beds collar) from Cambridge who is also on Arachne - that's how we met! Any queries on that I hope she will reply to! She also made the Butterfly stole at the back - a stunning piece of work which she was glad to finish. It's better in real life!
We did pin some of the lace down to stop it falling off the table but have never had anything 'disappear' in all the years we've been doing this. People do not usually touch - just drool! There are always several of us in attendance. I did invite one lady to actually touch my lace to feel how crisp it is. The year I was most concerned was when we had heavy rain and they brought the flame thrower inside to demonstrate. There were big black smuts floating all over the place! It's great being able to share the day with everyone. I hope all our 'have a goers' have a look too. I asked all the parents for permission to put their children's photos on the web. It's a sad world these days.
