I received yesterday my Christmas Card from Wendy Fletcher of Victoria,
Australia. It is a nice handmade card adorned with a beautiful red bell
done in Idrija lace. Thank you Wendy!!

Dear all -- I agree completely with Tamara and others who have
written in about this. There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Quite the contrary: Barbara is taking the time and trouble to do us
a lovely favor, and we want to thank her for that. -- Aurelia

How so? Embarassment about what???

To all fellow Arachneans,
I did not mean to offend anyone by my previous posting.
I do appreciate tatting as I've been tatting on off for
since I was shown how to nearly 25 years ago. For those
who were offended, please accept my sincere apology.
I'd just like to share something that happened

So please understand that I just expressed a preference for
a card with the same quality of handwork that I'm contributing.
Just this remark is the reason, why I will not participate.
Standarts, anyway by talking, are soo high!

I'm agnostic rather than atheist, but you've expressed my feeling
exactly. The various exchanges we have within this group, Christmas
card, secret pal or anything else is about *giving* just as much as it
is about receiving. Yes, of course it's nice to receive but that's an

My point of view in this is another one. Somebody who perhaps don't
know me and hasn't met yet and probably will never have the chance to

No, Chris, don't take offense. That surely doesn't represent the
feeling of most of us textile-lovers. A knitted beauty, a tatted
beauty, a crocheted beauty -- who wouldn't be happy to get one of
those? And Tamara's idea of a textile tree has the typical
obviousness of a genius-inspired idea:
Thanks for the encouraging words.
But, being a real cheesehead, I will stay in my lurking mode.
Have fun, and I will admire the pictures on the web.

Can participants notify you with regard to the type of lace they will
be making what sort of lace they would
Another viewpoint, for your consideration:
Last year in the exchange, I received the most beautiful piece of
Battenberg/needlelace imaginable, made by Jane Viking Swanson. Since I do
not make this kind of lace, it was a special treat to receive something
beautiful that I could not make myself.

I think it depends where you live where you are taught to put the return
address. In Sweden we put it on the back but when I got an US penpal when I
was 11 they put the return address on the upper left front. So the post
office really should be taught to look at both sides of an envelope :-)
