I have finally started working on my competition piece for IOLI this summer and also another napkin ring for the IOLI cd, both bobbin lace. Yesterday I finished knitting a jacket in a variegated rayon and I have started sewing it together. It does look lacey as it is a variation of the feather and fan design, hope to wear it tomorrow for my British club meeting. The other piece of lace I recently made was a "90" for a card for a lace friend, Janet Bingle who will be 90 early in March and still makes lace. I made the gold and blue 90 and sewed it onto a scan of a small doiley, then made it into a rosette with ribbons. This was stuck on the front of the card and on the inside I printed a photo of Janet and the birthday lace poem by Noelene Lafferty. We had a surprise birthday party on Saturday after our lace guild meeting complete with champagne and Janet was delighted with her surprise even though she had told her daughter not to mention her birthday. Susie Johnson took some wonderful photos of the event but she missed getting the one where Janet was threatening me with a knife for giving away her secret!
