Running away can do wonders for the mental state of a person. It doesn't hurt when you are running to lace. At the LACE meeting, the program was on a type of lace that originated in a Slovakian town called Spania Dolina. The lace is what you would think of when you think of the beautiful folk costumes of Eastern Europe. Here are some samples the teacher had:
Beautiful, isn't it?
Making the fans on the edge was the trickiest bit but the ladies who were helping us were very good at explaining what to do and we kept them hopping!
I only got a few of the fans finished by the end of the meeting so I had to come home and try to remember what I was doing. I would work a section, realize it was wrong and take it out. I won't tell you how many times that happened but let's just say, more than once and less than 105!
But I'm thrilled that I was finally able to get it finished.
I thought the yellow and white would be very springy, but a brighter color would probably looked a little more authentic.
