Surely somebody could bring one - and/or the hotel could be prevailed upon if someone from their kitchen, if it was an off-time, would like to oversee the process too. But that's not my business, on account of I won't be there (waaaaah) *however* I am donating a prize, so whoever wins theacrylic trivet with the small mat inside of coarse Torchon lace, please note it has been mangled. Mangling notes: it took hardly any time. I wetted the mat in cold water, blotted the excess water with a terry towel, and placed the mat on my kitchen table (the mat is only a few inches square, it isn't huge!). I firmly rolled over it with my wooden rolling pin and left the mat to dry. I was v. pleased with the appearance. I should think the mangling of a length of lace would be dramatic indeed. Have fun in Montreal everyone. -- Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com blogging lace at www.looonglace.blogspot.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
