Hi All, Just to let you know that Liz "the resident expert..." as Tamara kindly referred to her, will be unsubscribed for a couple of weeks, as she's hung up the 'Gone Fishin' shingle. You will be happy to know that while she sits in the boat for hours on end with my Dad, she will have some quilting with her, and some NL and BL back at their camp site, so her fingers will not be idle :-) I will be picking off anything of interest for her, and sending it on privately.
And for Catherine Barley: I just love your comment - ... please yourself all of the time. That is so true when it comes to lacemaking (or crafts in general). Thank you so much for reaffirming the permission to do that - and to be selfish in that regard. There are so many times when we do things to try to please others, that we forget to please ourselves, first and foremost. I'm enjoying this thread on mixed lace. Haven't had the courage to tackle NL and BL in the same piece (I'll leave that to the expert :-) ), but I have done some NL (not very well) and I like my BL - especially when I can do more than just admire it. What fascinates me is how designers marry the 2 types of lace in a cohesive design, and then how the lacemaker/s execute/s that design. Most intriguing - and skillful. Cheers, Helen, Aussie in Denver, and Liz's daughter. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
