You will note that my previous message did not give a reference to 'time'. I only said it was possible to make a fan -- same as a handkerchief, or collar, or table ribbon, or ornament, or..or..or....anything. Time involves thinking time, prep time, working time, taking it out and doing it again time, finishing time, and just staring lovingly at it as it grows time. I find that projects either take more time than I expected, or less time, which gives me a surprise. Always give yourself at least 3 times longer than you think you should need if you are making lace for a special occasion. Then you shouldn't panic. Now that I've said that, I need a wedding gift in two months. I just gave the bride (who's marrying my nephew) 4 choices of lace items. I'll make the one she picks. Hope she decides soon so I can get started. <G> I probably shocked the heck out of her with my email since she's never met me and probably doesn't even know there's a lacemaker in the family. Both nephew and bride have fully functioning houses so they don't need any of the more normal wedding gifts. My nephew is too dazed to know what's happening, so I'll cater to the bride--who's been described as a real sweet lady. Back to the subject -- your fan of choice may not be quick nor easy, but if you really want to make it, you can. Alice in Oregon -- who has a Witch Stitch fan pattern that is begging to be made. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
