Hi Spiders, We had a great workshop last weekend at L.A.C.E. with Jean Leader. She taught both Bucks and Beds. By now she is probably home and relaxing or doing her laundry. I finished my Beds Butterfly today. I did the one that is on the cover of her Beds book produced by the Lace Guild. I was driving home after two days lacemaking when I realised that I had finished the body on the top and Jean had shown me how to finish a wing on the underside. I had two wrong sides!! Luckily I was able to undo the knots holding my bunch of ends on the body and with a needle I was able to pass the tying ends through to the other side of the work. I made sure I could undo the knots before finishing the second wing. My alternative was to discard the body and do another one by sewing into the wings. There was no way I was going to abandon the wing as it had some decent leaf talleys in it. If you ever have a chance to take a class with Jean make sure you do. I think everyone learnt something. I was waiting for the other Arachne members to report our progress and I know Sylvie Nyguen finished her Beds bookmark and was redoing it with a different thread, plus Susie Johnson completed her Bucks project. Mine is framed and ready for show and tell at our lace meeting on Saturday. Janice
