Bobbin Lace ...

 I spent

some time winding bobbins.   These are for the June Lace Program of the 

Lafayette Lacemakers.

They meet every month at the Arts Federation in Lafayette, IN.

The June 8th program uses a few bobbins and size 20 Lizbeth fiber.

Usually, I wait until the LAST MINUTE to get ready; however,

thought I'd get them wound today.

If anybody is interested - check out the blog for details &

there is also an email if you would like to participate.  Or, if you'd like

to be a guest at the meeting - you are WELCOME.

This is the project I've had on the

lace pillow for awhile.  Purchased the pattern directly from Karen Thompson.

 I've been creating other things and

set it aside.   Time to 'practice' before next Saturday!  

I keep a small

piece (heart) from the L.A.C.E. Chapter - kind of a quick reference.

I should make a copy as I'd be lost without it!

Pattern:  Fans and Spiders Circular Frame

I"m using Lizbeth, size 20 fiber.  Color 623.

 As for tatted icicles, I have them hanging off of my shelves.   I think they'd also look nice in the window.    Or a holiday tree ornament.  The bobbin lace ornament will have wire - to give it a twist.   Should be pretty with the 2.5mm bicone crystal beads.  Stay tuned - hope to have the lace project done shortly after the meeting in June.
