I was trying to think back what I have made so far this year and what I did with the lace. I have made at least a dozen small pictures of horses, reindeer, apples and crosses for sale as a fund raiser. Still have orders for 3 more crosses and one star of David but they will have to wait until after convention. I finished a design of lemons to decorate my pj top for the pyjama party at convention so that it matches the printed bottoms and have just sewn that on. For this one I just scanned and printed part of the design from the bottoms and worked the lace on top making up the pattern as I went. I made a simple triangular design for a pin that will be on the convention CD. Made about 6 bookmarks for convention. Finally took a piece of wide lilac and white torchon off my travel pillow which I am using on a lavendar sachet as a gift for my hostess this weekend in Guadalajara, Mexico. Does anyone know if there is any lace to see in that area? I also took a class with Susa n Wenzel, Lacy Susan, at our Lace Day last month and finished the torchon/bead piece that fits on a Christmas ball, I only have to thread the ribbon on it for it to be finished. That will definitely not be for sale as it took days to make! I make pieces and sew them onto dresses and jackets, usually flowers or cats, and they go through the washing machine without problems if sewn down all around the perimeter. I also did a framed entry for the convention competition. I guess I have been pretty busy with my lace making this year when I look at the list, and that does not count all the tatting I have been doing whilst watching tv. Can't wait to learn new techniques with Pompi Parry in the Polychrome class next month. Janice P.S. A few of us Arachne had a nice lunch today in downtown Chicago with Miriam who is on a visit from Israel. We met at the Millenium gardens and finished up at the Art Institute, all walked out and dripping everywhere as the weather was very, very hot.
