Beth, that looks like a stunning project! My own lace pursuits have taken me in different directions, so I am not a candidate! But I sincerely suggest that you do not make this a lottery, but an offer to the best qualified! I am thinking of several regular winners in IOLI who could make this shine!
Congrats on a beautiful design!
