Subject: popular uses of lace, reprise
Hi everyone
At long last, the results of my informal survey - to anyone waiting, I
do hope you hadn't held your breath :~]
I think the following will be enough to convince my group of potential
lacemakers that there is, in fact, something in it (lacemaking) for them.
1. Gifts for oneself and others ;)
Laces alone (such as bookmarks, small mats) or laces on sewn items
(tray cloth, hangers, clothing)
Wedding laces, and for other special occasions.
2. Christmas tree decorations, greeting cards.
3. Home décor: wall hangings, framed pictures, doorplates, sun-catchers;
curtain edgings, doilies.
4. In quilting, to decorate a square.
5. For fund-raising, small quick items such as bookmarks, ear-rings, and
sun-catcher/ornaments.
6. There are many other uses of lace, and reasons to make it, as many
as there are lacemakers, no doubt...I will also mention to my little
group. Some make lace for re-enactment purposes. Others learn to make
lace so they can understand historic costume.
No. 5 reminds me, my friends at the bank in the village annually make a
gift basket which they raffle, fund-raising for 'The Cure' (to breast
cancer), and I am now tagged as a regular donor of a handmade lace goodie
(usually a bookmark) for the basket...today when I was in the bank lineup
I was reminded of this, and they want it asap :)))
