August Show & Tell

One of my very favorite parts of these embroidery sessions is getting to see all the beautiful items our talented volunteers bring in for show & tell day.

First up is a piece of bobbin lace Carolyn W is working using some Redde Gilt Sylke Twist.

In the second picture Carolyn is removing some of the pins.

    Gorgeous! And I really didn’t need more ideas of what to do with the gilt sylke twist, I haven’t gotten past the stage of taking it out in the sun and just enjoying how pretty it is :) .

    I haven’t gotten past the stage of MUST budget to order some!!!

    That is an amazingly gorgeous piece of lace. Must finish the piece on the pillow so I can go on to more neat stuff. :)
