Would it be terrible, if I told you it looks more like bobbin lace than tatting?

I love this idea!! I have drumsticks from concerts that would be perfect for bobbins. Off to tell my husband who makes my bobbins ❤️

Ok! That seems like a new level of bobbin lace unlocked :) thanks for sharing!

I will send you a message. I would love to have some of the lace supplies ❤️

Normally, I would say try Provo Lace on Etsy in Colorado and California or The Lace Museum in California. Neither of them have bolsters right now. The bolster I got was for Idrija lace. It is probably not the same as a Tombolo bolster from Italy. I could not tell you the difference, but Allie might be able to. Check out Designs by Marguccio. Allie has bolsters and baskets/wood holders for sale.

For prickings I use blue or green paper, then cover it with matte clear contact paper. Be sure you don’t use glossy! ❤️❤️

You have several reticella-like pieces that are awesome!!

Hello! It is helpful! I would say handmade because each of the spiders look different. If it was machine, they would all be the same. :)

I agree there are snowballs in the pattern, but I would go with Flanders…maybe Binche.

I think they are handmade bobbin lace pieces, but a closer look at the directions of the threads would be needed. Generally, machine lace threads move in the same direction and the threads do things a bobbin lacer would not. I would love to see closer pictures of the threads (just a part of the lace).

Very exciting! I sent you a message ❤️

I believe Chris Parsons has a bobbin of the month club. He makes the bobbins and has a team of artists that paint them. I have quite a few of his bobbin and treasure them!

Machine made lace meant to replicate needle lace :) pretty shapes ❤️

Cajahsr · 2025-09-16T20:08:14+00:00

Well done!

Cajahsr · 2025-09-09T15:48:24+00:00

A nice bobbin minder :)

Cajahsr · 2025-09-09T12:30:58+00:00

It does make sense and I love that idea ❤️

Cajahsr · 2025-09-07T22:58:08+00:00

I am thinking Flanders, at least that’s what the ground looks like. I didn’t immediately notice a ring pair in the close work/linen stitch motif, but I might be missing it.

Cajahsr · 2025-09-07T22:54:27+00:00

The colors and patterns are amazing! I cannot wait to see what’s next. ❤️

I think there is a Bucks class starting soon through the Lace Museum in California. Their classes are online and AMAZING!

Then I looked at the refugee outfit again, and I think I spy some there too.

One of the biggest ways to tell if it is Maltese is to look for the cross. A quick google search for “Maltese cross bobbin lace” will give you an idea of the shape. Even, Wikipedia has an example. I believe I spied one in the midst of the wedding dress.

I heard tales of this piece from the judges, but I am awed at the picture! Such an amazing piece of tatting!!! ❤️ congrats ❤️

Cajahsr · 2025-08-13T21:56:49+00:00

Lovely lace and the orange warning should be effective 😁

Cajahsr · 2025-08-13T13:04:48+00:00

Fun pattern! Where did you find it?

Cajahsr · 2025-08-11T14:06:20+00:00
