Preserving and sharing Ipswich...

Last weekend, #BobbinLace demo in #LexingtonMA, a mathematician came up to me + intensely watched weaving 4 strands of silk. It was funny, but I totally got his interest.

The diagrams in the article would take me 30 seconds to make in lace.

@allysseriordan All sorts. You can search our collection at this link.

Some are real antiques. Some out of print. Some odd pamphlets. Some contemporary patterns.

Everything. #BobbinLace #Needlelace #Tatting and more. Heavily bobbin though.

Wow. This university student is doing memes in needlework, and I believe they are a wizard. You must see #GrumpyCat in blackwork #embroidery

And Harambe in #needlelace. Among others.

Just go.

The #AdventCalendar for #lace this year was a quiz about stamps. The answer has been posted now and you can see lace making stamps from around the world.

Every year Jean Leader makes a #lace #AdventCalendar. Each day a new piece of lace is revealed behind the doors.

Today's piece is one of the special ones that offers the pattern too. Click on the 2 below the image to see the instructions for this tiny wreath.

I might try it. I need a little ornament for a gift package.

Mmm.... Lace retreat in #Victoria #Canada.

Doesn't look like theirs has workshops, just lace and relax.

Nevermind--I got it! I forgot that I could read it from the BPL, Boston Public Library.

I had not seen Travis Kelce in lace before. It's a thing.

So, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away I accidentally bought a slew of vintage hats, as seen in the toot above.

And one of them was used to win a ribbon at the #BigE, our local state/New England fair.

I didn't expect to use this one--I thought it was going to be another. But I loved the pussy hat vintage vibes this gave me.

Our lace guild's entries for the local fair have been judged and posted!

Some eye candy for you. Different lace styles and items.

If you visit The Big E in #SpringfieldMA you can see them in display cases there.

I was at the #RISD Museum yesterday to see the exhibit of #Philippines textiles made from pineapple fibers. But I walked down the hall and found this huge metal lace wall!

They call it needle lace but I'm pretty sure those are bobbin lace sections....?

Nice piece about a #lace artist from #Ireland and her residency at a museum in #Dublin.

The Irish have been very good at celebrating their lace traditions, IMHO.

Holy #BobbinLace Gods! Alex Stillwell has made a number of her really high quality books and pamphlets available for download.

At least one of them is really hard to find in print now. Someone in my lace group wanted a copy of that Floral Bucks Point and couldn't find it for sale.

These are wonderful. Get them if you lace.
