Three Colors Of Lace

Day 135: It has been exactly one week since I began a Little Hearts bobbin lace handkerchief edging, and I finished up the lacemaking last night. While I enjoy making the lace, sewing it to handkerchief fabric is something I tend to put off until necessity forces me to it, i.e., I need a hankie for a gift. Today, I not only sewed the new edging onto fabric, I also brought out two other completed edgings and stitched them up as well. All three are destined to go in the mail within the next few days, a good excuse to start another one!

This delicate lace is made with a soft-finish #60 cotton, the same weight as sewing thread but not spun as hard. The gimp is #5 perle.
