Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
Now, regarding summers in Chicago... Aren't your stores overly Air-Conditioned, the way ours are? I try not to spend longer in stores than necessary! And yes they often are over-air-conditioned, but you still have to melt getting from the car into the store. I find I very rarely need a jacket from June to October Sue - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

... and photographed at last. It's nearly a month since I finished the jacket. I had to wait for the buttons to arrive (they sent the wrong ones first time). You can't see the detail on them but they are peacock-ish in style and colour, which doesn't show up well in the photos.

Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
Sue, your jacket is the most stunning thing I've seen in a very long time!! Your perfect balance of elements in the design is just incredible!! I'm impressed with your lace, with your construction of the jacket, with your sense of color, and your expert use of materials!! WOW!!! So where will you be seen in this stunning creation?

Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
Thank you for the compliments. There are things I'd do differently if I ever re-did it, but it's good to learn from a piece too! Where will I wear it? I'm shameless! If I kept it for best, I'd hardly ever wear it, so I will wear it to the shops, church, NeedleArts Guild meetings, going for a walk wherever. I now have three jackets with lace on and I enjoy wearing them out and about. They're all lined with fleece so are nice and cosy for Chicago cooler weather. Totally unsuitable for summer. I thought about not lining it and wearing it in the summer, but my preferred summer clothing here is sleeveless!

Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
Congratuations Sue. A terrific job. I love the colors and the lace. Is it an original design lace and is it s'Gravesmore sp? I also love your blue moon scarf and the lizard. Your web pages are great. Hope to see the patterns printed in a magazine so we can share. :-) Janice Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA http://www.lacemakersofillinois.org/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] Long lace finished...
The jacket patterns are an adaptation of an 's Gravenmoer pattern and have been submitted for the IOLI conference pattern pack. Sue - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
