As one of the occasional posters from Poole, I thought I should be the one to let you know the result of Poole Bobbin Lace Circle's Annual Competition. We have a dozen or so trophies to encourage a wide range of lacemakers to enter. The best piece of lace is awarded the Rosebowl Trophy. Once this has been won, the winner cannot win it again. There is a separate section which can only be entered by previous Rosebowl winners. This ensures that less experienced members can still enter the competition without feeling that they haven't got a chance. There are three sections for Young Lacemakers; a class for those who attend a local authority lace class, (not sure if there will be many entries for this in future as three teachers have withdrawn from Adult Education teaching this year) and some other categories. There is also an award for people who haven't entered any lace previously - this is a hand engraved goblet, made by the husband of one of our members some few years ago. All the trophies have to be returned each year and then prize winners are presented with a commemorative bobbin.
So, what is all this leading up to. This year's winner of both the Premier Trophy AND the Rosebowl is non other than Arachne Jean Nathan, who entered a blue, satin ring pillow with a Torchon lace square covering. It was very pretty and the award was well deserved. I know that Jean had made this piece for her Lace Guild Assessment (intermediate I think) and I believe that she may also have designed it herself. Congratulations Jean. Well done.
