In the same Summer 1993 issue of the IOLI bulletin that contained the Gossip Pillow:
On the inside back cover is a picture of the four laces made for the block of four lace stamps that were issued in the U.S. The laces were made by Mary McPeek, Leslie Saari, Ruth Maxwell, and Trenna Ruffner. (Once in a great while we see a posting from Trenna on Arachne.) There are pricking patterns on pages 21-24 from the laces they made. You'll like the quote from a U.S. postal official: "Do you realize what you have done? You have no money, no lobby, a very tiny constituency and you got a stamp!" Now it is Summer 2003. Ten years. Seems a good time to remember when these ladies and their committee put their laces into many stamp collections.
