Hello All!  Thank you for posting the parasol & the story behind it.  It's a 
charming piece & what a tribute to a lacemaker!!  Has anyone used the Mako 28 
thread mentioned in a previous post??  I fell in love with the variegated 
colors at summer school so bought some for my stash.  I've used Oliver Twist & 
Stef Francis but this seems finer.  Any comments on how it works up??  I bought 
some Madeira 80 yesterday but there are only 10 colors so I may resort to 
overdyeing the piece after the fact.  A friend who does Hardanger dyes her work 
because she can't find enough threads in various sizes within the same range & 
it really makes her work stand out in a crowd!  BTW, if anyone is interested in 
a Christina (sp?), please contact me directly as I have a source for one.  
Sincerely, Susan in Erie, PA
