A Day With the Lace Guild and My Blog is Loved!

Hello everybody! What a nice day this has been. I have lot's to show you. I spent the good part of the morning and afternoon with the ladies from my lace guild. It's always a pleasure to go there and see them and make lace together.
I've got so much to share so let's commence with the show and tell, shall we?

First of all, one of the ladies from our guild

won Best of Division for lacemaking!

She got it for this lovely bobbin lace fairy.

Congratulations lady-who-shall-remain-nameless-due-to-privacy-and-online-safety-reasons!!!

Isn't it pretty?

Next, is someone else's bobbin lace.

This is called a tape lace because it makes

a long strand like a tape!

It's on a pillow.

Bobbin lacer's make their lace on a

thingy called a pillow.

It's also known as a type of "pillow lace".

I do not make bobbin lace or

any kind of pillow lace.

It is pretty tho'.

Perhaps one day I'll learn.

Here's a closeup of her bobbin tape lace.

Isn't she doing a good job?



Here is another lacer's
bobbin lace on a pillow.
This is a flat lace.




This lacer is pricking her pattern so she
can stick all those pins where the holes are
on her pillow.
This just happens to be a beginner
bobbin lacer! We had three new
people at our lace guild today that were
learning how! One was a new tatter
and two were learning bobbin lacing.
I think that is so cool!
Congrats to our "new recruits"!!!




This bobbin lacer is just starting her tape lace.
All those wooden things hanging down that look
like short dowels are called bobbins.
That's why this particular pillow
lace is called bobbin lace.





Here's a fellow tatter just tatting away.
Her hands are moving so fast they
are just a blur in the foreground.
There is her tatting workbasket
in the background.
I thought her box of tatting was
kinda cool.





Here's my WIP.
WIP means Work In Progress.
It's another snowflake from the
Sternenhimmel chapter of
Spitzen-Kreationen
by Susanne Schwenke.



Voila'!

Here is my next snowflake for
my 25 Motif Challenge!

Motif # 13 Sternenhimmel 2

Feh! Not my best work,

but hey,

what can I say?

I was teaching someone

to tat at the same time that I

was trying to follow a

pattern in German!

LOL!

I do not read German.

That was my day at the lace guild. Thank you for letting me share it with you!

Remember when I said I had a lot to show you? Oh, did you think I was finished!?!

No way! There's more.
