Dolphin Lace Project
Members of PBLC are embarging on a group project to make a piece of edging lace decorated with dolphins.
The intention is that eventually there will be enough lace to edge one of the blue table covers that are used when demonstrating lacemaking at events. It is hoped that members will take it in turn to make one or two dolphins.
