Tamara has done a wonderful job of collating and thinking about this project.

Should leave plenty of room for packing materials. The panels could be 'framed' and bound as a book, using matt or mounting board as the frame for each page. See http://www.popularkinetics.com/Class_Page.htm for book structures. I personally favour the carousel style, and maybe we could mount some traditional laces between the St Ives pages on smaller decorative pages. This would include those who like to work traditional grounds rather than working figures or cats etc. Incidentally there is no reason why this should just be bobbin lace, we could include needlelace, tatting, crocheted, knitted and so on. This would then keep all the panels within the overall dimensions of the current totals. I am not sure that Tamara's interpretation of packing size is the relevant one for entry tot he competition. Unfortunately I now longer have my copy of the rules & regs to hand. Bags and cats etc could overflow and be part of the decoration of the page borders Don't forget the sign to St Ives! Perhaps the man and his sign could go on the front cover and the text of the rhyme could be inside the front cover. Perhaps on the back cover, we could have a lace representation of St Ives - a very pretty Cornish village Inside the back cover we could list all contributors to the project, from design ideas, to drawings, to lace, to construction etc By the way, I think the rhyme only has 7 wives not fourteen. ( As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with 7 wives...)
