Bobbin lace once more

I just needed to share this sunrise with you. Last Friday April 18th we had some new snow during the night, and a little after six in the morning the world looked like this when the sun reached the forest on the west side of our house. The next day the new snow was gone again, but we still have some old snow in shadowy places and where it has been pushed from the driveway.

This is the second part of my Spring Exhibition report, concentrating on bobbin lace. I have posted about it here and here earlier.

This group has been working really hard and I'm showing you some of their finished work. The world map must have been difficult to make.

This is something more traditional, a broad lace at the end of a linen table runner.

This is where bobbin lace is done. My cushion - still misplaced - is of another type with a straight back edge and a roll for the pattern, meant for long lace rather than round tablecloths or very wide lace. The crocheted tie keeps the bobbins in their right position when the work is interrupted.

The teacher was kind enough to show us how the bobbins are held, two in each hand between the fingers. You can always click the pictures to enlarge.

Here some different types of work.

And finally another round little table topper. There should be a seam somewhere, I think, but I can't find it.
