Not always. Chapter 14 of Alex Stillwell's book would have been minus the pattern she adapted for it had I followed that mantra! By being patient, and finding a framer at a large lace fair willing to make a hexagonal frame to fit (Bucks works to hexagons, not the common octagons) they added a new range to their products and my Hearts and Flowers Snowflake got its frame. If we are going to push the boundaries, we don't need the restrictions of what is already on the market to hinder our ideas! My scalloped variation of the design, after two years on the pillow, is almost complete and ready to go to Deborah for 'Lace' if she decides to use it. Loopy gimps do become second nature after time..... I can almost remember how to do the three overlapping circles with one pair of gimps without thinking about it, but don't ask me to diagram the process!!! I agree about good presentation, but it shouldn't be an obstacle to creativity, rather an enhancement. -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
