Bobbin Lace

The bookmark on the left is called "Love-in-a-Mist". The fans are whole stich and the center is brabrant ground. The pattern is from "The Bobbin Lace Manual" by Geraldine Stott.

"Yon cottager who weaves at her own door,

Pillow and bobbins all her little store;

Content, though mean, and cheerful if not gay,

Shuffling her threads about the live-long day;

Just earns a scanty pittance, and at night

Lies down secure, her heart and pocket light."

William Cowper

Above is a piece of lace done by Sarah which features a half stitch trail and spiders. The pattern is from "101 Torchon Patterns" by Robin Lewis-Wild.
