I know, I’ve been rather quiet lately. There’s a reason why. I spent lots of time during past weeks with the bobbins in my hands. The course is over now and I have learned some new things. Without so much work I wouldn’t be able to show you these pictures:
 |
| I am proud of this one, it is almost perfect. |
 |
| We will finish this one next year by sewing in fabric in the middle of the napkin. |
 |
| The last one. It was made quickly but I will have to work more on the outside pattern, although my tutor was very satisfied with my work. |
True, I worked too hard, but it seems that making lace is some kind of my new addiction. Which will be probably over when spring is here again. Yes, every season brings a different activity, and life is this way far from boring. Even if I haven’t touched the needles or crochet this autumn and I haven’t even thought about making Christmas cards. Yet.
I hope you are enjoying in the last days of this year. I have to say that, in spite of still being jobless, I do.

Hvala. :)
Nice! Good to know that craft and the old ways of doing things continue. They are beautiful.
I hope you see this and can help. I am a Lacemaker in the USA and I love the Idrija style.
I am terribly envious of the patterns I see available in your area of the world. Where do you get them?
I saw a dinosaur in a picture of the Lace Festival and so wish I could reach through the screen and buy it.
Are there suppliers you recommend?
@Antiquarian: I am glad that you like Idrija lace. I got the patterns from my tutor, but there are also several books with the patterns. Try this site: http://www.cipkarskasola.si/ANG/index.html, and for more patterns also this one: http://www.lacepatterns.eu/index.php?lang=en.
You can also contact a person who was at the Lace Festival in France this year at Afrodita.hebar@mat.si.
I hope that this helps a little. Let me know if you want to have "my" patterns, I can send them to you if you wish.
the Lace patterns site had all the ones I've been wanting...and then some. THANK YOU!
Have a happy and blessed New Year.
These are fantastic Pina!
