Milanese Lace
April, 2007, I just finished making this hummingbird following Louise
Colgan’s DVD. Next week I will be taking
another class with her, so I wanted to make something quick and easy as a
refresher in Milanese lace.

In May 2002, I took a three-day course in Newberg, OR
with Louise Colgan and made this Milanese heart.

Later I took another class with Louise Colgan and made this butterfly.

I enjoyed making Milanese Lace so much that I continued by working through
some of the lessons in the book by Sandi Woods, Special Effects in Bobbin
Lace.

Below is a picture of the very first Milanese piece I tried to make. This was actually the first lace I ever made
without the help from a teacher. All I
had was a picture of the finished lace, so I fumbled my way through.
