Sutton Lacemakers and "The Lace Guild"

Meg Lawrence and friends of the "The Lace Guild" will once again demonstrate their skills in producing hand-made lace. In the past they have set their gazebo up in the meadow and were soon attracting visitors to view some of the delicate lace items that their members had made. The left picture above shows a narrow lace ribbon being made, using just 12 bobbins of thread, where visitors could try their hand at lace making. This contrasted with one piece of lace about 4cm wide being made using 60 bobbins and a 'forest' of pins. Not all the items on display were made in the form of ribbons however, the right picture shows a little lace 'piggy', complete with curly tail.
