Queen Annes Lace.....when I was but a girl, my Mom would gather QAL, and set
it in water with food color added, Voila! The arranged in vase....pale pink,
blue and yellow to set off the white. I have thought of drying it....but it
is not so available here...

Hi All,
Just my two cents worth...
Us true prairie dwellers (Especially those in the Goose Lake Prairie State
Natural Area, one of the largest Prairie Parks in the U.S.) know Queen
Anne's
lace to be an invasive. Since it is thought to have originated in
England,
we still consider it an outsider after all these years. As a weed, It will
crowd out other prairie plants given time...but I also love it. My
mother-in-law preferred it in her garden more-so that a rose bush....go
figure?
Nature's Lace is beautiful.

I love Queen Annes' Lace(the flower) and have tatted it up from an old
book
pattern by Elgiva Nicholls "Technique and History of Tatting". Gave it
to
my mother in law. We plan on planting this beautiful flower/weed/carrot
in
our garden soon just like King James and Queen Anne did in their royal
garden. It is actually a wild carrot called Daucus Carota and you can
read
more info than you really wanted to know here:
