The Lacemaker - A Blackwork Embroidery Tribute Pattern

Product Description:

Do you know a lacemaker whose hands fly across the lace pillow, moving bobbins at the speed of light? Then, at the end of all that hard work, she removes the pins and the most delicate piece of lace appears!

This beautiful blackwork pattern is a tribute to that incredible skill. It's the perfect handmade gift for a special birthday, a 'thank you', or just to celebrate her passion. You don't need to be an expert at blackwork, and it certainly won't take as long to complete as a piece of lace!

Being a small design, it won't take up much wall space but will be a treasured piece that reminds her of you each time she sits down at her pillow.

Customise Your Creation: You don't have to stitch it in black! Why not pick your friend's favourite colour, or choose one to coordinate with the décor in her craft room?
