The closest I have got is with needle lace which I did a workshop on some years back. I fell in love with it and finished my sampler in double quick time but the follow up piece is still around somewhere waiting to be finished! xxLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406333686298786963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-26593483589549121432015-03-07T01:40:26.339+10:002015-03-07T01:40:26.339+10:00The bobbin lace sounds like another one of the die...The bobbin lace sounds like another one of the dieing arts ...So pretty...Nice to know their are folks still making it and learning to make it.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572900779018937820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-48897756400736839602015-03-06T08:49:56.845+10:002015-03-06T08:49:56.845+10:00We should be starting out on our bobbin lace about...We should be starting out on our bobbin lace about the same time. I'm trying to finish up some stitching also. I've been making lace for awhile as I taught myself to tat about 10 years ago. Bobbin lace is different though. We woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow. A little unusual for Texas in March. The university that Jim works at closed down for the day so he got an unexpected day off. Fun!

With 3 counted cross stitches to finish that have been sitting incomplete for 10 years now, some scrabooking that also has been left untouched for about the same time ( my youngest daughter's deb pics still need to be scrapbooked and she is nearly 27!), my EPP insanity quilt requiring several borders and another EPP large quilt half done, I shall just sit back and see your progress hehehe. I would, however, love to have a go at rug hooking but can't seem to find any supplies anywhere.Ondreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375358743415174254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-14198445066584662862015-03-05T16:23:49.429+10:002015-03-05T16:23:49.429+10:00This art looks so intriguing.

DH learnt lead lighting and I did Bobbin Lace. I'm afraid his samples were a lot larger than mine!!! Our 3 children, eagerly waited to see our samples. I am sure they were disappointed in what I had achieved. I still have the bobbins, the cushion and the instruction book by Jenny Fisher,<br />my tutor. Alas it was too slow for me!! I still have my bookmark and lace I put on the sleeve of a blouse I made.<br /><br />I hope you have more patience than me!!!MARYNANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922589156233400420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-9876141460780212442015-03-05T10:32:30.470+10:002015-03-05T10:32:30.470+10:00Hi Jenny it's been a long time since I've...Hi Jenny it's been a long time since I've left you a comment but I wanted to stop by and say how happy for and proud of you I am. Not that a stranger's pride means much, but if you recall, we "chatted" way back and you helped me get my blog up and running. I've stopped blogging after my beloved Princess left me, but I still check in with my favorites. I was just telling somebody at work today about how I've watched you start dabbling in needlework and now you're selling patterns everywhere! I like your mission statement for 2015 and can't help but be envious. It's wonderful that you are concentrating on yourself now that Blossom is grown.
