I have never seen any Rosalibre lace but this sounds lovely, but it reminded
me of a question I wanted to ask all you lacemakers. I would like to make
something in lace to attach to my clothing, Not something permanent that
will go through the wash regularly, but a lapel thing. I did do a couple of
pieces of Alex Stillwells bucks lace from the book my daughter bought for a
birthday, the effect is good and I also have plans to make a Lace flower
buttonhole, but I would also like something decretive but not specific like
flowers which are more for a wedding so I can attach to coat, jacket or top.
Question is,
What have some of you made that you wear often on clothing or what have you
got plans to make for that purpose?

The butterfly pattern is in the book "Introducing Rosalibre Bobbin Lace"
by Cathleen Belleville.
I took the class at IOLI a few years ago and completed a cluster of
flowers and leaves in class, but only half the butterfly. When I got
home, I couldn't find the flower cluster in my luggage. The case I
thought it was in had been gone through by the airport officials, and I
thought the cluster was lost.
This year I used a suitcase that hadn't been used for a while, and I found
the flower cluster in a pocket of the suitcase. The lost was finally
found. Now I need to finish my butterfly to add it to the cluster, and
attach it all to a pin frame so I can wear it.
