compare learning bobbin lace to chess. In one chess lesson you can learn the

I live in the United States in the southwest so I don't have a problem with

pre-made packets, or make your own. Buy some desiccant in one of t

Hey, Robin! I'll lace bomb with you! Last night I was looking through the
Kaethe and Jules Kliot book "Bobbin Lace: Form by the Twisting of Cords" to
get inspiration for just this kind of thing. I was thinking how cool it
would be to have a long rod with heavy twine or rope attached to it (much
I was reading the book "Point and Pillow Lace" by Mary Sharp (printed in 1905)
and she mentions a painting by Quintin Matsys (1466-1529) of a girl with a
lace pillow as proof that bobbin lace existed in Belgium as early as the end

I have just arranged for free space at a nearby historical park. In the
winter and inclement days we will make lace in the visitor's center and in the

How to spangle with beading wire ("tiger tail") and crimp beads:
Hints:
DO NOT cut the beading wire off the spool until you are ready to thread it
through the bobbin.
If you have very small spangling holes in your bobbins, you will either need
to use the finest beading wire or need to enlarge your
