    Thanks again! The canopy is up and ready for its reception this coming Friday evening. I’ve very, very happy with the results but especially the opportunity to create this giant work and pay loving tribute to all the anonymous women who spent countless hours creating all my “raw material” of doilies, lace, and household linens. Thanks!
