Projects of 2004
Silver Jubilee Lace
Day
Scarecrow Exhibition
Chess Board Wall Hanging
Our most recent project was to create a
chess board
design in lace. Each
member, including the children, completed
two squares each. Our resident designer and secretary, Lesley, created 32
patterns each of which was worked in ecru
and black, making 64 squares altogether. We held a special project day at
the beginning of April, when we all began
our squares.

Everyone was enthusiastic about the project and as
soon as some of the pieces were finished Lesley began
mounting them. The work in progress was on display at
our 25th Lace Day in September. |

As soon as the last square was in place, the finished
article was taken to be framed so that it would be
available for all the members to see at the AGM in
November. We were all delighted and felt very proud of
our contribution. A vote of thanks was given to Lesley
as without her vision and hard work it would not have
been possible.
The project is now completely finished and the
result is a beautiful framed wall hanging which is
publicly displayed in 'The Olney Centre' situated in
Olney High Street.

beautifully. |
