When my dad died (about twenty five years ago, now), my mum took up lace making. She attended a local lace class and became very proficient. When we visited, she always had a lace cushion on the go with an incredible number of pins and strands of lace with a bobbin at the end of them hanging down. When she died, just over three years ago, we inherited a large collection of bobbins and lace making equipment, which she hoped might inspire our daughter to take up lace making. This is an example of my mum's work, which is framed and hanging proudly on our wall.
