 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.  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.

Bi-Color start ....

   This is a start of the 

Bi-Color Fringe edge.   I'm using Yarnplayer's Fiber, Size 10.

It is a lovely fiber to use.   For these sessions, suggested fiber is size 10, Lizbeth -- thought I'd give Marilee's HDT a try.   Was wonderful to use & beautiful color (IMO).

Pattern:   Bi-Color Fringe lace edging.
