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!
Hello,
First of all… welcome home after such a wonderful trip! I was armchair traveling with you having lived aboard our own 52′ ship for 5 years. I never saw saw beautiful waters as you, so have loved all the pictures.
I would like to ask your permission to use the orchid picture from your last post. I have recently completed some 8 shaft huck lace scarves in a tencel colour called orchid an those flowers match it perfectly! Full credits will be provide of course (please send what you’d like to appear) if you agree….
They are being pressed today and will be photographed in a day or so in prep for my next blog post.
Like you I also try my hand at bobbin lace but you appear more advanced then myself. Weaving is my first love…
Best regards, Susan
