Comment by Laurie Elliott on June 9, 2020 at 1:17am: I don't think I would want much to remind me of this particular pandemic, but the post go me to look at what Lorelei posted back in 2018 of the modern lace dresses. I didn't have the computer access then that I do now. That whole display looks wonderful, and I would be proud to make a dress like those. Hard to believe they were made over 50 years ago. Wish I had learned to make bobbin lace back then, sigh.

Well, they say "if you can't beat them - Join them"!!!!!!!!!! :)_

I hope everyone is keeping well, - and making lots of lace!!

Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on December 14, 2016 at 4:30pm: Here is a set of photos of rope bobbin lace, including the pattern, detail shots and some work-in-process. The lace itself is purely traditional, although not regular or symmetrical. The scale makes it modern.

Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on July 11, 2016 at 4:06pm: This flower corsage is especially interesting because of the decorations in the clothwork. Rather more complex than what is usually found.
