LOCKDOWN



10th June 2020

This is my new blog. 

Here you will find what I am up to! I will include information on exhibitions, interesting articles, general  textile, bobbin lace news and information on courses, workshops, talks as well as whatever I am working on!

During lockdown I have sorted my garden, cupboards, etc and spent a very long time writing a completely new website




please visit and let me know what you think of it.

I have also been working on my current 
bobbin lace projects.. I have at least 
three lace pillows on the go!!

This is my roller pillow with my 'pot boiler'

A  'pot boiler' is a piece of lace that you work on at any time. It is a lace that you know well and it is generally a continuous lace.

a continuous piece of lace

This is a continuous piece of lace that I 
cut off and use on personal family 
presents when needed.


The design is from 'Bucks Point 
Prickings' drafted by Kate Riley from samples in the Luton Museum Lace Dealer's pattern book. published by the Lace Guild 1999. 
ISBN : 1 901372 06 5


Next time I will let you know about my 
second Bobbin Lace Project that I am working on.
Each year I make a Christmas 
decoration for all close members of my 
family. I have done this since 2000. I 
have used the lockdown to get ahead!!
