For anyone who would like to see it/get an idea of the size I have
uploaded to the arachne flicker page a photo of the lace collar
"pattern" (with 6"/15cm ruler alongside for scale) and one of the small
area of cordonnet I'd completed - when I got it out of the cupboard to
photograph there was even less done than I thought.
(They are in the album "Beth M" if you can't see them in the recent
postings)
There are two or three people interested in taking on the collar, so
this will also be a draw-name-from-hat next Sunday - there's still time
for anyone else who wants to put their name into the draw for this or
the evening bag kit.
Regards
Beth

Is anyone interested in taking over a fairly big needlelace project?
I started a one-piece collar of autumn leaves (my own design) just as
arthritis in my thumbs started to interfere with any needle-based
craft activity and am never going to be able to finish it - there it
is, stuck in a cupboard; if anyone has the needlelace skills, time &
inclination to take it on, make it their own and find a use for it, I
will pass it on.
There are no instructions, and no plan for which fillings to use -
just a copy of the outline shaded to give a rough idea of colour
placement, a selection of small reels of silk thread (various
thicknesses and colours in an autumn leaf palette -
red/orange/yellow/green/brown) which may or may not be enough to
complete the collar and the started piece.
Please email me privately if you are interested - if more than one
person wants to take this on I will put the names in a hat & pick one
out. I will pay postage to anywhere worldwide.
And the raffle - a project I never got round to starting, embroidery
rather than lace. It is a kit to make a canvaswork evening bag:
complete magazine (New Stitches issue no.17 from 1994) including the
instructions for the bag, canvas, padding, press stud, glass beads and
tapestry needle. The only things not included are thread and lining
fabric - you will need 10 skeins of stranded cotton in a main colour
and 7 in a second colour of your choice (at the time I couldn't afford
to buy those at the same time as the kit, and for some reason I forgot
about it and never bought the thread).
If you would like to enter the raffle for this email me privately - I
will draw a winner on Sunday 10 Jan.
