Hi all, Re. Border Lacemakers jabots.
Yes, we made 9 jabots for the local Mayors for the Millennium and sold the pattern books. I designed the patterns for the jabots in Torchon as it meant that more lacemakers in our group could take part. As we had 2 strips of lace for the jabot and 1 each for the cuffs, there were 36 of our members who made the lace. One member made all the jabots and 9 other members attached the lace. Then we had a slap up do to present them. We had the High Sheriff of Monmouthshire, the Lord Mayor of Cardiff and 5 local mayors who came for the presentation which we had at the Lord Lieutenant's house. We had strawberries and wine and a great time was had by all. We occasionally see a picture in the newspapers of one or other of the mayors wearing their jabots with their red robes and chain of office. It was a great collective thing to do and some members of the Border Lacemakers are asking when we're going to do the next one!!!! We haven't decided what yet though!
