Dear Jill,

Finishing your lace is not a penance.  For the first project, pick the
one that sings to you!  It may be that after a more challenging piece,
you will flutter down gratefully in front of the Torchon.  (Although I
have had my comeuppance from a piece or two of Torchon!)  Is something
ALMOST done, so you can finish fast? (or faster?)  Decide which ones are
samples and therefore complete.  It's your lace, and THERE ARE NO LACE
POLICE.  As a lacemaker, you have all the say on what you will do, when
and how!

And we love pictures!

Have a wonderful time deciding.

Patty

Apologies to everyone, I got in a bit of a muddle and think I sent this
twice!!

Sorry, serves me right for 'lurking' for so long, if I had been a little
bit
more active, I might have got it right first time <vbg>

Hi Patty and all :-)

Great idea to come out to play on Arachne:-)

I have been a lurker for ages due to very long and unsociable working
hours
but as of three weeks ago, I gave up my job (yippee) and I aim to try
and
finish a few pieces of lace that have been on the go for some time -
years
in fact.

This new found freedom is really exciting and I have started getting all
my
pillows out to remind myself what I need to do........

Well, what a shock, I had not realised what I had ......4 pieces of
Milanese,1 piece of Paris Ground, 4 pieces of Binche, 1 piece of
Flanders
and 1 piece of Torchon ........I think that is it but I have not made it
to
the back of my (large!) cupboard to see if there are anymore in there!!

I am guilty that every time my friends and I went on a lace course, I
never
had a free pillow, there was always something on the go that I did not
want
to cut off, so I would buy another pillow!!!   <Vbg>  That all has to
stop
now of course and I need to finish something.

The thing is, what to chose first :0)   I am going to enjoy this but
sadly,
I must remember that I have to find another job, albeit one which allows
me
to have a little bit of a life to do my lace etc.

Isn't lace just the best thing to get involved with :-)

Best wishes
Jill

right now so hopefully we will all be able to get a night's sleep after
all
these weeks of soaring temperatures (I love the sun but this is just a
little bit too much).
