Hi Let me introduce myself. I'm mainly a weaver, but I taught myself to make lace a few years ago. The bobbin lace has taken over my evenings lately and I am really enjoying it. Right now I have a huge project in mind. While I was browsing through my various books on bobbin lace, I found a table cloth I love and want to make a similar one. It's on page 205 of my copy of Lessons in Bobbin Lacemaking by Doris Southard. Does anyone know of a place for directions or suggestions on how to complete a project like this. I have found articles and patterns from Florence Sweetland in the old International Old Lacers Bulletins, but the information on the table cloth construction is very limited. It sounds like each new strip was joined to the edge of the previous piece as it was made. Would that be necessary or can the pieces be joined successfully after they are made?
Has anyone done something similar and do you have tips of what worked well and what didn't. At this point I'm thinking I'll just have to start small and do some trial and error sampling. Thanks for any insight you may have. Vila Cox http://www.warpedandwonderful.com - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
