An incredible piece of work.  thank you for sharing the ongoing work and now 
the finished piece.

Now we are all looking forward to seeing this piece,
Sue T


Dear Friends,
Today  I was able to finally complete my piece of Toender lace which I 
had  commenced on 14 Jan 2007!!


I have sent the final photos to Julian who will no doubt have them  up on 
the website in a day or two. I do hope you get as much  pleasure from them 
as I did in working this beautiful piece.
This evening I have wound a hundred or so pairs of bobbins in the  finest 
black silk from Eva in Spain and at last have commenced the  legendary 
Miss Channer's Mat. This silk came on a large spool and  seems to me to 
be about equal to Pipers 2/20. I have reduced the  pricking to about 2/3 
the original size and as far as possible am  converting the mat from 
Floral Bucks Point to Chantilly.

Hello David,

First of all congratulations on finishing this mammoth task.
I look forward to see the photos on Julian's site.

As regard getting it to the Crown Princes Mary of Danmark, if you're 
serious about this try this website: www.crownprincecouple.dk/
There is a contact button, and when you click on it there is postal 
address and an official address, and even a contact tel number,

but no email address.

I too have the pattern for Miss Channer's Mat, but nowhere near even 
thinking about starting this.
