Hi Sharon and Spiders, It can be fraught with horrors when one volunteers to finish something! One of my best friends passed away two years ago, on Boxing Day, and I volunteered to complete a half-finished mat on her pillow, for her mother. Well - she had been ill for a couple of years, so the lace hadn't been touched for about three years - the thread had degraded somewhat, the pins had completely welded themselves into the pillow, and it was all a disaster. In the end, I have decided to make a UFO with the tea-light for her Mum, using the colours chosen for the mat, and let her Mum have that instead of the mangled remains of the mat. So - I hope she is happy with that, as I do want desperately to do something to remember my friend, and please her parents.
