Has  anyone ever seen a
recognizable leek rendered  in  lace?




Yes, but it was a needlelace one. In 1990 Northumbria Lacemakers was  
invited to exhibit at the Gateshead Garden Festival. We naturally chose a  
horticultural theme for our display and one of our members, Ann Hotchkiss,  
decided to do a leek (we are famous for our leeks in these parts!). We  shared 
the 
exhibition hall with the giant vegetable competition and at the end  of the 
weekend Ann sold her leek to the wife of the winner of leek class - if I  
remember rightly the winning leek was part of the deal and Ann's family was 
well  supplied with leek soup.
