I think I often get a bit complacent when looking at the NELG website if there is nothing new for a while.  Today for some reason I went to the Member's Lace page.  Jim Martin has added a lovely Bucks sampler bookmark that he made.  It is lovely!  We will have to remind him next summer that he needs to enter Creative Arts in the Big E since we know that he has at least one piece that is well worth entering. 

Participation is important to NELG.  Please post pictures of your lace when you have finished it.  People love to look at lace examples.  And do remember that it is never to early to start planning for the Big E.  If you are working on a large project, don't you need an occasional break to make something small to say you accomplished something?
