As snow is falling here, it is time to think ahead towards the demonstration season and the Big E.  As I have often reminded people, the Big E is one of our largest interactions with the public, both from demonstrating as well as the Big E entries.  We would love to have the display case full of beautiful lace. 

For myself, I am planning on what will go to the Big E even at this point in time.  I have one project that will definitely be there as well as two more projects.  I hope everyone will be able to contribute to this.  Remember that the size of the project does not have to be large.  Most entries in the past have won prizes that more than covers the entry costs.  Planning ahead will make getting the project finished on time easier.  Besides, wouldn't you rather work on lace than go out to slide on some ice?
