New Bobbin Lace Tools

Fran Bloomer of lacebobbins.com visited us in class yesterday. She makes some beautiful bobbins and tools and I love adding to my collection. It was the last day of the Lifetime Learning session so we had a luncheon which we all enjoyed. This, even though we do not stop meeting on Tuesdays. Karen, our teacher is kind enough to continue coming on Tuesdays so that we do not forget the lessons we have learned. It's easy to forget even with a short interlude. Jo shared a crocheted piece she made over 50 years ago. And check out the bobbin lace moon on Karen's blouse. Click on the pics for a closer view.
