Hi All, And Happy Holidays!! I know some of us are available, either not celebrating Christmas or having quiet holidays. DH and I will be home and it will be quiet and we're happy about that.
Lacy news is that I made Battenberg squares about 5" by 5" (13cm x 13cm) and put them in plexiglass (plastic) trivets for gifts for a few people. They looked quite nice though it took me a while to get the finishing done. A friend co-owns a frame shop and he cut me a beautiful piece of mat board covered by Ultra Suede. I couldn't close the frame on it so I cut it smaller and still couldn't close the frame. I ended up using some fabric instead, then I could get the back to close! The trivets aren't spectacular but they look pretty good and made nice gifts for 4 couples! Don't know if they will be appreciated or not <VBG>. It was fun to use different stitches on the four lace pieces and see how that worked. Some were quite successful! Any other lace gifts made? The Battenberg took me 2 or 3 hours each so it was quite enjoyable. I know BL and NL take much more time! Actually I made small NL flowers a few years ago for gifts. I forced everyone to be appreciative then <VBG>. Love to you all, Jane in Vermont, USA where it was over freezing and some of the snow has melted, it will still be a very white Christmas.
