Greetings, Gentle Spiders!
For the past four weeks, I have been "down for the count". I attended the Fall
Lace Day in Gold Hill, NC on Oct. 1, and had a delightful time. By the

Like Jeannette I am finishing the work we made in Bakkeveen before
OIDFA congress. But the last week we had "our " summer heat which
wasn't fine for lacemaking.
After that I have to do some work from another class I visited and
which shall be exhibited on our next congress. Both works a bit
