Last week, with a weekend course coming up, I finally finished two pieces
that had been sitting around almost-but-not-quite-done for far too long (I
needed the pillow from one and the bobbins from the other!) They were a
Binche pattern: Cathy Belleville's Moonlight Serenade; and a sample of the
traditional Buck Waterlily edging, which I shall pursue further, possibly as
a hexagon or a collar.
Then I spent a delightful weekend at Great Missenden, where Jan Tregidgo was
teaching a very mixed class, ranging from absolute beginners to some working
on complex Thomas-Lester-style Bedfordshire (I suppose I'm somewhere in
between). Luckily Jan is the sort of teacher who can take it all in her
stride. I made a start on a new Beds edging, designed by Barbara Underwood.
We all left making plans for her next course, in November, which will focus
on Christmas lace.
Still in Beds mood, I arrived home to find a package from the Lace Guild
with a copy of Jean Leader's new book of motifs for review - so that will
keep me busy when I'm not at my pillow.
