Gidday all,

<<tatting. I ended up using a 12 perle to make a horseshoe for Michelle for
her
<<wedding.  I could not say to much as you can guess it is so hard to keep
quite

The horseshoe is lovely, it is a lavender colour and was stiffened, very
very pretty.

<<news.  Just before lunch we gave her a small table cloth, that the group
had
<<made.  It was made from the Cleveland Pattern, which is based on squares.
We
<<where all given some squares to make and in the middle was a piece of
linen
<<which one of our members embroidered and Pam Lloyd made all the lace
edging,

<<We have all had to be very quite when emailing Michelle not to let on to
her
<<and it was worth it.

Oh boy was I surprised!  The cloth is absolutely divine, the girls spoilt me
soooooooooo much, it is really stunning and I am so lucky to have these
wonderful and talented lacemakers as friends.  The cloth was given to me
about 10 days before the wedding, so we were able to use it on the day, on
the card table my mum had set up for us to sign the wedding certificate on.
It was a simple, small, informal wedding on our block of land in the
Dandenong Ranges, about an hour's drive East of Melbourne and very green and
pretty - I think we had the only decent couple of hours of weather in the
whole month I was there!  One day when our house is built there we will be
able to stand in the lounge and say this is the exact spot where we were
married!

I have a couple of photos to put on the community webshots site, but I can't
remember what the user id and password is so if someone can jog my memory
that would be great!  Each Torchon square is about 4" x 4", and the wide
edging all around was done by Pam, as well as her sewing it all together and
mounting onto the linen.  Even my mum knew about it and didn't let on.
