Bobbin Lacemaking

Photo: some bookmarks I made ages ago - I never quite got on to anything else - but I still have all the tools & one of these days... ... you just never know?

... and so from tatting to bobbin lacemaking - in the space of just a couple of years. Again, I learnt the basics of this craft in a short space of time and like tatting, I haven't reached any dizzy heights with it - but still have the desire to do more - one day!

Note: In 2023, as we were preparing to move into a Retirement Village and I needed to drastically downsize my sewing and craft supplies, I surrendered my Bobbin Lacemaking equipment to the Embroiderers' Guild for them to be handed on to someone else, who might have the time to put into it. I certainly enjoyed doing it but my love for patchwork and quilting far out-weighed my desire to continue with Bobbin Lacemaking in the foreseeable future - sadly!
