Happy Christmas everyone.  I actually placed a few pins in my lace today, then undid them and undid more and started that area again.  Hope it makes sense the next time I sit down at it. I don't think I wrote to thank Maria Greil for her beautiful card which had a stylized lace tree inside.  At

Thanks so much, Janice, for generously sharing your patterns. I know it’s a lot of work. The Seasonal triptych is so cheerful. I’ve made your Halloween cat and hope to work it again in a thinner thread, after I’ve made it through the holidays. Mine was a bit too solid. I wish my holiday
