Sorry, no embroidery, but I am so glad about my new set of bobbins that I felt I would like to share...

20463Bonjour,
Moi aussi je débute dans la dentelle au fuseau (c'est pas facile, il faut beaucoup s'entrainer) mais je n'ai pas la chance d'avoir une aussi belle collection que toi. Si je progresse, peut être me laisserais-je tenter un jour.
1646These are very nice, havn't seen this many together in years, my mom owned some. May I ask where you ordered these. Thanks Annie

I've contacted a private wood carver who I've met at a lace fair in UK and ordered them especially from him. It took 2 months, because we wanted the variety in special woods and he normally does different styles of bobbins, but I think it was worth waiting!

Good idea, but I think you already shown them with your nice lace. English style?

I remember seeing them here a while ago. If I'd find it again, I'd "comment" it back to the top...

They do! And they are such an amazing music-instrument as well. I love it. (We ordered ones with especially dense wood, so they are rather heavy for their size.)

They are for lace-making the old-fashioned style :c) (By hand)
Over the years of designing for machine embroidery, we found our best inspirations in bobbin-lace designs - well, and decided we (that is the "femaler" part of "us") want to try it ourselves. It is SLOW. VERY SLOW. But still nice... I'm going to upload the first result in a moment...
