I am still having some issures with my hand, but so far I have done some tatting, so thats good. I have a couple new books now too. One in tatting and the other in bobbin lace. I don't recall weather I posted the tatting one before or not. Now to get moving on them. I'm still a bit slower with my hand, but at least it's working.…

My lace group is doing a two Saturday retreat where some are getting more advanced and other's as myself are just getting back into doing it again. So far we had a great time and made progress with our work. I myself got back into again without to much of a problem. Just a little slow in the beginning, but then I was right back on track with it.

Thank you Barbara. I look forward to exploring.
Thank you, Barbara. I am at the very start of my exploration of lace. I have my mother's bobbin and pillows and decided it was time to put them to use again. I have been to a meeting at a local group and they helped me set up my first foray into whole stitch which I have just finished. I am looking forward to finding out a lot more about lace.
I like your yellow flower.
Hi Barbara! Thank for your welcome! I make contemporary needle lace with representative motifs (flowers, birds, etc). I started making needle lace in 2013, but haven't done any in a while since my dressmaking and other sewing have taken much of my time. However, I'm still very interested in lace, and I've joined this group to expand my knowledge about bobbin lace and other forms that I don't make but want to be able to identify. I am also a member of Needle Lace Talk, another Ning group that Lorelei Halley runs.
Thank you ...hope to learn more about laces.....I love linen and lace things....I want to learn more about the different types of lace. Linda
Hi Barbara
The way I got into tatting was circular to say the least. I think I remember my Nana tatting when I was growing up but when we cleared her house we never came across any shuttles; half a houseful of other stuff but no shuttles. So perhaps my memory is wrong.
Some years later I went on holiday in Devon and had a go on a practice bobbin lace pillow. I enjoyed it but had no inclination at that stage to learn the craft. Move on a few years again and I was going to visit a friend in Wiltshire and tagged it on to a weekend tatting course. The course was cancelled but they said I could learn lace making. I agreed.
Back home, it turned out my Mum's best friend went to a lace class - I never knew she made lace. I enrolled on to the class and did a year's beginner's class. I was encouraged to do the City and Guilds course which as you probably know included tatting as one of the skills. So I got there in the end!
I've only just started trying to tat again in the last year or so after seeing a book on tatted jewellery but am making very slow progress.
Thank you Barbara! My Mom and I have always loved lace and she bought me a kit many years ago and now I have some time to learn.
Thanks for contacting me Barbara. I am a little slow, trying to learn to navigate Laceioli site. I am having some difficulty identifying some of my laces. can you recommend where to go with questions?
Kind Regards,
Mary Dee
Just doing torchon so far. Want to do it in a bigger format so it is easier to see.
