Getting Reacquainted with Bobbin Lace

It’s a drizzly Sunday, perfectly May weather, and I have set up my bobbin lace table in an east-facing window.

In this spot in my living room I have morning sun coming in over my shoulder.  I am quite lost at the corner of my most recent handkerchief border, so I decided to revisit a pillow with an older project on it.  It is a straight lace that I used on my linen top last summer. It only has 12 bobbins and has a sewing edge,  central spider, and scallop edge.

A great way to spend a Sunday morning!  I’ve heard from Bob via sideband radio that he has been able to sail at 7 knots for the past 24 hours.  He is now off the coast of northern Florida, east of the Gulf Stream, about 150 miles north of the Abacos.  If this kind of favorable wind keeps up he’ll be arriving home in one week!
