Pattern + Instructions:  Loretta Holzberger

Loretta's Custom Stitchery

Sessions thru Virtual Education,

 I really should have used a different color paper/card stock for the pattern!!!    Challenge to use white fiber on white pattern.

 Preparing for bobbin lace Rose for Kalofer session on Thursday.   Prep for needlelace and bobbin lace is time consuming.  Stay tuned.   The bobbin lace flowers/rose are part of a community lace project for the 2025   OIDFA Congress in Kalofer and Karlovo, Bulgaria.  Also, https://lacechallenge.internationalorganizationoflace.org/lace-challenge/lace-challenge-11 Lace Challenge #11 for I.O.L.I.  

I am grateful to Joan Brash for her pattern and sessions thru the Lace Museum.  I'd like to finish the sunflower this summer, too.
