Re: [lace] honeycomb delight (or favorite stitches)
Hi Clay! I believe you come across them most often in Honiton lace; the more common name for them being Blossom fillings. At the point where 2 braids cross, you work 4 picots before continuing with the braids. It makes a frilly little crossing, and when an area is full of them, it is so sweet! In the Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches by Bridget Cook and Geraldine Stott, there is an adorable variation called the Torchon Apple Blossom stitch, so I imagine that's why I always call the blossom filling an Apple blossom filling :) Hope all is going well with your visit to your DD!

Picking these two started me thinking about so many others I also enjoy... Thanks for the topic!
