OUR TEACHER, PAT MORRIS

THIS IS OUR TEACHER, PAT, HELPING A LADY THAT IS VERY PROFICIENT!!!! SHE IS WORKING ON SOMETHING SPECIAL IN PURPLE FOR CHRISTMAS. PAT IS HELPING HER GET THE BOBBINS ALL SET UP AND READY.

NOTICE THE "SMALLER PILLOW" THAT SHE IS USING FOR HER NARROW PATTERN. SOME OF THE PILLOWS ARE HUGE AND EXTREMELY HEAVY AND MAKE LARGER PATTERNS.

YOU CAN PURCHASE THE BOBBINS OR MAKE THEM LIKE I DID MINE. YOU BUY THEM IN WOOD, AND STAIN AND VARNISH THEM AND THEN YOU HAVE TO BEAD THEM. THAT IS TO KEEP THE THREADS STRAIGHT WHEN YOU ARE WEAVING THEM.

I AM THINKING THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG STRIP OF BOBBIN LACE, PERHAPS TOURCHON, BUCKS POINT, OR ONE OF THE FANCIER PIECES. PERHAPS THE FINAL DESTINATION OF THIS LACE SHALL BE ON A BEAUTIFUL LINEN HANKERCHIEF. NO, YOU WOULD NEVER BLOW YOUR NOSE ON IT, BUT MAYBE WEAR IT IN A POCKET, WITH THE LACE CASCADING OUT. SOMETHING FANCY, FOR DRESS.
