Sewing together!
This is why I've been so quiet recently :o) I haven't been making lace
because to do that, I've got to clear my pillow which means sewing the
current piece up. It's only a rectangular border, a beginner's piece of
Torchon but I really can't convince myself to sew the stupid thing together!

As I sit here yet again avoiding the final sewing of my current lace piece (the
first of two interlocked hearts, only 12 pairs for goodness sake!), I find
myself pondering on what aspect of bobbin lace people dislike the most. I know
lacemakers who profess to dislike most - or even hate and avoid at all costs -
each of the following items. As you will have gathered, I fit into the second
bunch though I am quite happy doing numbers 1 and 3. So which category do you
fit in? (Sorry needlelacers and tatters!) Or is there something else that
should be on the list? I will happily summarise the responses to the list in a
couple of weeks so feel free to answer privately. There are no wrong answers
...
1) Winding bobbins
2) Final sewing together
3) Tallies (leaves, squares, triangles, any other type)
Over to you in eager anticipation :-)

a beautiful sunny day)
