Hello everyone
I am new to this forum, i have been making cards in a variety of ways for nearly 12 years now and still learning new ideas. I am now trying my hand at bobbin lace, just wondering if anyone on here does this? if so tips would be useful.
cheers Gwen

Hi Gwen

Welcome to the forum.

I was looking at lace bobbins in our local museum last week. There was quite a prolific lace industry in Wellingborough historically. I am afraid I have only admired others actually doing bobbin lace, except for having a go in a workshop one afternoon years ago. I can imagine you could easily lose yourself in it and the results are beautiful.

Where in the world do you live?

Helen
