Hello All! E Day (Exhibit Day) is almost here & two more samples are in the bag! With all the chat about chenille in Blonde lace, I decided to add some as a passive in my sample of logarithmic lace. It's next to an Oliver Twist glitter thread. Also decided to take a page out of Lauran Sundin's book & finish my threads with beads. It wasn't as easy as using wire but it does give a different appearance. Worth trying again. To tie off/finish the chenille, I hand picked the chenille fluff out of the base threads & gently tied them. Worked great. Jean Leader very graciously drafted the famous Hamilton collar lace & diagrammed the gimp paths so it could be included in our Scottish lace section. I haven't done gimps in years & it shows! Using a Q-Tip dipped in water & a pin, I nudged the gimp & it is slightly improved since I took my photo. Both are on Flickr Photostream. The Hamilton lace somehow missed my album so I hope it's not floating in yours. Apologies if so! ! My third piece of lace wasn't quite so lucky. I've restarted that pattern but it's not looking good to finish by Thursday. Can only hope that students & faculty find something to love in our Edinboro, PA display. We will be front & center in the library during the Highland Games & Festival Sept. 7-10. Hope they have a good turnout! Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
