Dear Lace Friends, Americans will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 22nd. Most American women are busy shopping for, cooking for, or traveling to visit relatives, in connection with this family-oriented holiday. This helps to explain why lace correspondence has dropped off. St. Catherine's Day is Sunday, November 25th. It is a day to celebrate the patron saint of Lacemakers. You can read more about this in our archives: _http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html) Put "St. Catherine's Day" in the Subject line. If any local lace groups are celebrating this holiday, please share details. For example, were Cattern Cakes served? Did you wear lace? Did you make lace? Etc.
