I wouldn't otherwise choose this colour combination, then it is great fun to find a piece that sets off the threads (and vice versa). Last year I donated a Torchon doily designed by Fumie Kanai. I enjoyed every bit of that project, the winding of bobbins, preparing the pattern, working the lace, joining the lace to itself, then attaching it to fabric with neat tiny 'basting' stitches. And then, because I have nowhere to show off such a lace, it was a pleasure to give away - the oohs and aahs at the receiving end were the best! -- Bev (near Sooke, BC on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
