Thanks, Ruth, but you did not tell everyone, that the torchon piece I made

many torchon patterns stir me greatly, but that one did, with the tallies in

This isn't strictly lace, but same copyright subject. I bought a book last

I think this is clearly a breach of copyright. Even if you were making the ornaments

because the record company owns all his music and anything Jimi Hendrix.
