This piece of lace was on my pillow and I was working on it when I got a phone call to say my dear friend Dorothy had died at the wheel of her car...that was 6 years ago ........... I didnt touch this lace again until just before this Christmas 2006........ I just couldn't face it then.

However I am now pleased to say that it is in the process of being finished and will be called Dorothys Torchon mat.....in memory of her, a wonderful lady always laughing and smiling.
