K-LACE FOR CHRISTMAS. In our second K-lace collection, Kae has explored a variety of tech-

niques, bringing the look of tatted handwork to edgings, a bookmark and pendant with "chain". Hanging lace designs, including a cover for a 2 1/2'' round glass ornament, will become Christmas heirlooms. Intricate snowflakes in two sizes hang or become part of larger creations. No fabric needed, except for the holly groupings with 3-D option, which will brighten your holiday decor with sparkle organza leaves and berries. Fine thread was used for the tatted edgings. 30 or 40 wt. cotton or metallic for the hanging ornaments. Instructions included. Our testers love this group; we believe you will too.

"Jewelry" designs stitch on fabric

FANCIFUL K-LACE & MORE Butterflies, dragonflies and a lacy hummingbird, in K-Lace

to stitch on water soluble stabilizer, and jewelry-effect designs to stitch on fabric, change to suit your needs. In tone-on-tone they impart elegance for heirloom and bridal work; in colors they take on a contemporary look. The "jewelry" butterflies stitched in metallic and rayon on fabric are elegant accents, but they may also be entirely stitched in shiny rayon for a more subdued effect. Instructions are given for a doily with fabric center and lace butterflies used as an edging, one of the clever uses for these beauties. Three lace butterflies have color stops for stitching multicolored lace. Last, but not least, there are eight small edgings we know you'll find useful and a valuable addition to your design collection. We hope you enjoy Kae's fanciful creations!
