Hello, Sherry -- I'm so pleased that you like the idea and intend to
join us. There's no hurry, I am still collecting ideas and jaboteers.
Different opinions haven't yet jelled as to whether we should all
make the same pattern, or can we differ. I imagine that it will take
us about another month to settle in on a decision. After that
happens, we can start. Hopefully all will be finished by the spring
of 2010. We'll all stay in touch. I tried scanning the excellent
picture in Alex Stillwell's remarkably good book, but didn't have
much success. The book itself is so delightful that when you are next
in a book-buying mood, that's the book to get! -- Aurelia
Aurelia,
I am very interested in participating. Do you know what time frame
you are looking at to finish these jabots? I must finish a wedding
garter I am working on first. Also, I do not have the book so
haven't seen the pattern. Does anyone have a picture of the lace
scanned so that I can see it?
I like the idea of the jabots being the same, but with perhaps a
unique element in each.
I will be interested to see where this goes.
Thanks,
Sherry Naleszkiewicz

Dear Lorri -- So far I have had four responses (that's including
you). When we have nine willing jabot-makers, we will proceed with
the legalistics. Meanwhile, I suggest we take a look at the truly
gorgeous "handkerchief-jabot" that is Project 7 (Plate 6) in
Alexandra Stillwell's "Geometrical Bucks Point Lace."
When this project begins to look "for real," I will have a chat with
my lawyer. Just off the cuff, I don't know that one needs to ask
permission to send a present. I should think we could send nine
jabots in a beautiful box, together with a graceful letter about
ourselves and the revival of handmade lace.
Aurelia
