The more I practise making Bedfordshire lace, the more I fall in love with it. Vivid and elegant are the words I would use to describe this style of lace. While it’s not easy to learn and usually requires a lot of pairs of bobbins to complete, the satisfaction I get after finishing a piece is incredible. My recent work is this edging, which would be perfect as the edge of a handkerchief for a bride. The pattern was prepared by Christine Springett, and I used 18 pairs of bobbins.
