I can also set it on the three drawer roller cart and do small wirework tasks. It rolls out of the way when I need it to. I do have 1 handmade lace tablecloth. I am glad that I could bring up a pleasant memory for you.

Not everyone designs with the same material. I seldom use my lace. It is too precious to me. I do take it out and admire it often.I guess beads aren't the only thing I hoard LOL.A new thrift store opened in my town a short time ago. They had a bust covered in old lace as a jewelry display that was really well done. I admired it for quite a while. There was a pair of lace pieces on it that I wished I could own.

I once saw a huge shadow box done with pieces of lace randomly sewn together to make a solid panel, like a quilt, and it was amazing, how the person got the patterns to flow.Lori Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297328109318290291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660155811591000071.post-40341144587399801932013-07-21T06:51:58.966-05:002013-07-21T06:51:58.966-05:00Thanx Diane, One of the women at my bead group was...Thanx Diane, One of the women at my bead group was cleaning house getting ready to move and she gave the book away.

Back in the 1700's people ransomed whole estates to pay for lace. Engagements were long to have time to make the lace for the wedding gown. The book I just read said that each lacemaker had her own style. It talks about a young girl finishing a lace project that her Grandmother started 15 years prior. Even bad breath from a lacemaker would affect the color of the finished product.

It is indeed a labour of love!<br />I envy your ability to dedicate some time to beadmaking every day! Soon, I keep telling myself, soon I will retire....in reality I will likely be at least 70 until I can. Hope my eyes and fingers still work! :-)LoriFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884816850378635735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660155811591000071.post-63046945920421971932013-07-20T14:24:25.522-05:002013-07-20T14:24:25.522-05:00Gorgeous patterns in those laces.
