"Jacquie wrote: My sister Malvary is making a curtain in strips (and the
pressure of everyone asking how she's getting on with it has helped her
being near to finishing) which she has joined on the pillow to get a good
tension at the joins, but she found even with only one strip to join on, it
reduced the portability considerably."
I would also confirm that there is a fair amount of shrinkage and to pin the
finished length back onto the pillow requires a bit of pulling to get the
design in place.
After having made a big boo-boo in laying out the completed pieces for the
'last strip' I took 8.5 days to unpick the strip, re-organized the pieces
and set off once again to work the last strip. However, I didn't like the
way two strips looked, so I completed the strip I was working on, then cut
off one strip, turned over one strip to face the other way, and now I really
am working on the last strip. I have about half to go. I want to get it
finished before Lace Convention in April next year, which I don't think will
be a problem, might even get it finished by Christmas (but probably not).

and sunny to cool and cloudy but no snow yet!
