Lace Day 2025 Saturday 7 June
Looking back 'Lace Day 2025' was an enjoyable occasion with a good selection of suppliers and an extremely interesting talk by Judith Cordell entitled 'Rosaline Perle Lace'. Judith came with a wonderful selection of her work as well as an impressive selection of antique rosaline lace.
On the following day Judith led a workshop on rosaline lace and those attending were able to work on a small rosaline flower.
The Lace Competition this year was for a 'piece of lace to fit within a 4 inch square'. Eve Morton won the prize for 'Best Technical Entry', and Jean Organ won the prize for the 'Entry you would most like to take home'.
A cheque for £800 was presented to Katie Godman, curator of the Blandford Fashion Museum, our charity for 2024-25. This was a brilliant amount and was boosted by lace equipment donated and sold on the Sales Table.
