Bobbin lace
Sep. 29th, 2006 02:07 pmI never did get much bobbin lace done, except when I lived with my parents and didn't have to cook. But now with the baby, I get even less.
However, I did manage to finish off and turn in the piece that I had mostly completed before the birth: a Torchon square to be used in the making of a table runner that my group, the Liberty Lacers, will be allowing an as-yet-undetermined charity to auction off. Here it is:
Torchon square
And here are the bobbins I cut off of it when it was done:
Lotsa bobbins
And here is what I am going to make with them next:
Brigitte Bellon ornament
No more tiny Old Brussels Duchesse or many-bobbined Bucks Point. Between this book of ornaments and a few tatted Christmas ornaments I made last year, I hope to be able to attach a lace Christmas tree ornament to a present for each close family member, where "close" means close enough to understand that handmade lace is priceless!
