Lacemaking Pilgrim
The Revd Jayne Shepherd, a bobbin lacemaker, gave us a very entertaining talk about a sabbatical year she took to find out about the history of lacemaking.
Stopping with friends, in basic hotels and retreats she traced collections of old handmade lace, visited museums, admired altar cloths trimmed with lace, bought samples and tried her hand at different patterns and braids.
After the presentation Jayne demonstrated how to use a lace pillow and bobbins to make a bookmark and some of our members had a go.
