I'm going out on a limb here... I believe that having the last
pattern designed by Joyce Symes presented without a picture or a diagram
is because this lovely lady's work was sadly interrupted, and
unfinished! Therefore, it is up to the experienced Floral Bucks
devotees who buy this book to work this piece as a challenge.
The pricking itself is impressive. I don't have a clue how I would
approach it, but am eagerly awaiting the reports of experienced Bucks
Point lacemakers who have found satisfactory solutions!! This, in my
opinion, is even nicer that the often swooned-over "Miss Channer's Mat"!!
So please, all of you who have the skills and experience to do this
piece... keep the rest of us humble lacemakers aware of your progress!!

Briar.... where the temperatures are forecast to moderate into the
lower 80's for at least the beginning of our retreat! Let's keep our
fingers crossed!!!

I can usually figure out a pattern from the finished lace picture. I like to
see how dense the cloth stitch areas should be and if there is something
unexpected in the pattern. I know I could choose my own preference for that,
but I still like to see the photo. I am sure David will oblige us, or maybe
Jean has made it and can post it to the Arachne web shots.
