"Making this lace is a labor of love, and a unique opportunity. It may be the closest I ever come to having the privilege of carving the sunstone, or smashing my family’s heirloom china for the Lord’s walls."
--Angela Rockwood 2014

I modified the pattern for the edge, adding “clones knots” from my Irish heritage. They remind me of baby's breath, and the gift of life after death.

After the lace was all done, we washed it in hot water to shrink it, and then pinned it out to dry in the shape we wanted. Once it dries, the thread will hold it's delicate shape.

Quote:

“I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin.”
–Coco Chanel, April 29, 1939
