I was at the International Organization of Lace Convention last week, and there was an announcement about this Study Group for #Torchon #BobbinLace if anyone is interested.
DM me for the email contact with Sylvia--this is not my group.

For #WIPWednesday, I offer obstruction-in-progress.
I'm getting back to my peacock lace project. I had just wound and positioned the next section bobbins. They are directly beneath this cat right now.
She is uncannily good at knowing exactly where the most impact is.
Alas. #BobbinLace

My supervisor seems more interested in the passersby today. But it's a lovely day on the front porch for making #BobbinLace.
I'm working on the pattern that I think was used for this baby cap from #LexingtonMA which was #18thCenturyFashion.

I'm checking lace books back in to our library, and when I don't remember a book I flip through to see what's in it. I only inherited the library a year ago, I haven't seen everything yet.
I like to add the patterns to the book entry so if people are looking for flowers or birds or whatever, they can find them.
Anyway, I'm checking in this book that is full of Grimm's Fairy Tales lace figures and the Puss-in-Boots is to die for. I hear this pattern calling me immediately....

I couldn't show this for #WIPWednesday when I was working on it, because it's our #lace competition and the creator is supposed to be hidden until after voting. But now I can reveal "Le Tricolore", which just won me $20 at our retreat.
Original inspiration was a real balloon that was used to escape the Siege of Paris in 1870.
The competition theme was "Red White & Blue" but did not require it to be American themed.
All the entries are here: https://nelg.us/page-1857743

Oh, I forgot to post the Plimoth Jacket.
My first lace instructor (and now friend) worked on the lace for this, as did many of the lacemakers that I know.'

This is an astonishingly great article about historical #embroidery, but also #MaterialsScience and threads and the work of Tricia Wilson Nguyen. She takes an #engineering approach to this work that is so valuable.
My lacemaker friends worked with her on that Plimoth Jacket she refers to. I'll post that video next so you can see it.

@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.

I spent part of yesterday assessing the lace in the #RhodeIsland Historical Society collection on a baby cap reported to belong to a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Stephen Hopkins.
Look at the cartridge pleats on this teeny cap!

Me evangelizing about the amazing women who made #IpswichLace at a #Rev250 event in #SudburyMA.
My colleague helps someone complete the "catch-of-the-day" beginner piece of bobbin lace.

#WIPWednesday I was about to say that I just cleared off the pillow for our upcoming lace retreat--we are doing "early lace" samplers and I'm psyched for that.
But I do, of course, have more pillows... And this one is the one I use to demonstrate Ipswich lace. Our lace group is doing a Revolution 250 event in Sudbury MA on the town common this weekend.

Oh my. Today's rabbit hole (as a result of yesterday's visit to the antique lace pillow) was pins. Anna's pillow had the old wire-head pins in 1820. So I began to wonder about when pin technology transitioned. It was about 20 years later.
But it led me to this fascinating animation of a pin manufactory! The print is animated in each room as you scroll down the "explore" links.

Went to a local museum to visit a piece of lace from ~1820 that we think is #IpswichLace. It's a nice small piece--Anna was skilled. But she did not live to complete the lace. I can tell from her bobbins she was planning to....
I can't share the research photos but here's the museum entry.
