Milanese Worshop

It was great fun - the stitches are so beautiful. Louise Colgan is a accomplished lacer, skilled in teaching. I worked on the Milanese Moon learning the cathederal stitch, oval braid and improved in techniques on lace basics. Pattern by Louise Colgan, I also love the play of the colors of the thread. I look forward to making more pieces in Milanese.  Another feature of the weekend was being with other lacers which inspire and encourage. The Lone Star Lacers were great hostesses! Thank you ladies.

 

Lace Escape

well the pattern is prepared, the bobbins are wound, lace pillow is ready! So excited for a lace weekend. Hope to learn new techniques and get totally submerged in my lace. I will be studying Milanese with Louise Colgan. 

Happy International Lace Day!!!

hope you got to enjoy making some lace today

Lacing weather

Cold / wet outside, well it is perfect weather for lacing--stay inside, keep warm and lace--but then all weather is great lacing weather.

Heart of Texas Fair Entries

Tatted Cross

Bobbin Lace Bookmark

I entered lace into the fair - there was no category - so the cross went in Other in needlework area
and Bobbin Lace bookmark was in crafts "Other"--hopefully next year there will be a lace category. I also demonstrated lace in the Creative Arts building. The idea being give exposure of lacemaking to others.
