This meeting our Lacemakers gave the Embroiderers an opportunity to give it ago with Lacemaking, setting those interested with boards and bobbins and their standard bobbin lace pattern. There was a good number interested, and all of them enjoyed the success of making their first piece of bobbin lace. Many thanks to the Lacemakers for their support.
