Small lace samples are needed for Feast!!!

Members: If you have time to make small lace samples, please do! For Feast, need to be 'period correct', so be conscious of color [no variegated or glittery threads] and don't get too fancy w/pattern. No spiders are needed.

September's meeting will be a Lace-In.
