I have not long finished the hexagonal table centre, which is printed on
the front cover of the book and really enjoyed making it, It has a
slightly thicker thread to pick out some of the rose petals, and I have
got some pale pink to make another of the patterns (the oval one) using
the same 'rose' design but this time picking out the rose in pale pink,
I think the finish should be good. In the book there are also patterns
for making 3D roses....... these are made in a strip and then rolled to
form the rose flower, again very pretty............
There is a picture of the table centre on our new 'family' website at
www.acsandj.co.uk It is under the 'photograph's' heading and then
'Celia's Lace'. I do have some other pieces to photograph and get DH to
add (what would we do without them) :) but just haven't had time yet.
There is also a photograph of 'The Lacemaker' but it's hiding in the
embroidery section, I made this for a project that Bromley Lacemakers
are doing at present to commemmorate their 25th anniversary later this
year, we are making a wall hanging composed of pieces of lace made by
each member of the group and it will hang in the community centre where
we hold our meetings. (I've made it at 60% of the full size and used
Finca 30 thread instead of Linen.) Hope you like them if/when you take a
look

Since it is a favorite book, can you tell me more about "Roses in Bobbin Lace"
by Eva-Lisa Kortelaht?
I love roses and wondered if you could tell me more about it. I assume it is out of print, but what technique/s, lots of pages, & prickings, is it spectacular?!?
