I've made three lace fans so far - just finished one which is just a torchon

For those people visiting the Met on the IOL tour, I thought I might point

some die-cut lace cards, some Point de Gaze patterned cocktail napkins, a scarf
with a black lace design on it and there is a small area of the
Dear Friends,
It has been mentioned to me (I think in a private email) that a glue made

Does anyone know if Joan Kelly is still designing patterns? I have some
