One of the things I love doing in fabric shops is rummaging
through the remnant basket for odd lengths of lace. I like the serendipity of
seeing what’s in there. It’s always a treat to find some interesting little
snippets of lace and because they are generally the ends of the runs they are usually
a bargain. It’s nice to be able to buy them for their own sake not because you
have a particular use for them but just because they are attractive. I use many
of them in lace projects but I have to admit many others are just added to my
collection and brought out now and again to admire. I’m planning to use the
lengths in the image in my new project about Amy Atkin – the first female
machine lace designer.
