Hello all

Happy Anniversary to all fellow lacemakers ... May it long continue.
I think it was 1998 or there about that I joined. Am not making as much lace
these days but have joined a class that hopes to restart in June (everything

a start on designing my December challenge piece titled âSummerâ.
Have a good weekend with Best Wishes
