Re: [lace] A Maltese Book Lace Quotation

Most of the lace I am making these days are either useable as a sun catcher 
or hanging piece for all year round and I know 3 are already been used in 
that way, one has an add on when someone gave my sister a guardian angel and 
she attached it to my sun catcher.Other pieces tend to be for use around 
the Christmas trees or whatever decorations and I usually find them very 
well received and used.  A number of my friends and family have now got a 
growing collection which gets added to.  If I felt they were being got rid 
of (unless they had been messed up in some way) and the person didn't like 
them much or not using them for that person I would just take them off the 
list.   I consider them as special gifts, I choose the colours I feel suit 
the person best and feel that most have really been appreciated and loved.
For you Janice your pieces are so spectacular I can fully understand why you 
want to sell off if you can find a suitable buyer for some of it.  Good 
luck.

​If only I could get the people I give my lace to actually use it!
Usually, they put it away in a drawer, because they don't want to damage
it!  I'm considering making everybody I give lace sign a "non-use"
agreement, that says if they don't use it in a year, they must give it back
to me so I can find somebody who will use it.  (Not really, but it's a
thought.)

[lace] A Maltese Book Lace Quotation

2016-08-01 Thread Jeriames
Let's change the subject.
 
 
Paragraph from an open book in the case at Malta's  national exhibit at the 
OIDFA Congress:
 
"Put lace upon a woman's head and kneel behind her in church.   See if you 
can concentrate on the sermon without wondering what she is  like."
