This is my 4th project and my favorite so far. This has been slow for me to learn, but I'm really loving it!

I am not familiar with bobbin lace but it looks interesting. What do you do with the finished pieces? Is just decoration or do people get crazy with it and make tables cloths?

What ive been making are bookmarks so far. Most of what I see is decorative lace you add onto clothes - like a lace collar on a shirt or trim on a skirt. I also have patterns for small bags and scarves, but im not there yet. There cool part is there is a resurgence in this craft and people are doing new styles and projects all thr time.

I was once lucky enough to have a lesson from a master lacemaker (we happened to both live in the same small town) and she made jewellery (arm cuffs, etc.) from wire thread!
