Readers who have been following this leather thing since I began samplising over a year ago will have also seen various old lace samples I have put up at intervals over the period of the blog, and some intriguing pieces of handmade lace from various sources but especially my trip to Paraguay about a year back.  Lace has two aspects &#8211; the textile stuff and the holes between the bits of thread, and I realise I have been very interested in the &#8216;holes&#8217;  bit for years &#8211; I have a lovely pair of silver earings, very modern with holes punched out, and a more recent gold pair of round-ish organic shapes, slightly concave, with holes of various sizes randomly punched out: all these things plus the challenges of a piece of leather set me off on a track where I recognise leather can look lacey.  Laciness lightens up a solid shape&#8230;.and lighter solid shapes can appear to float.<\/p>\n<p>So now these roughly triangular shapes have been glued down,  I will be doing a lot of hand sewing behind the scenes today, and may even get to the quilting stage.  It is about 1m square, so not too overwhelming. <\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t yet decided whether it is to be hand quilting or machine, but I am already planning the next quilt in this series.   I want to make it very big with lots of little pieces on it &#8230; mad or brave&#8230; but it&#8217;s there and has to be done. <\/p>\n<p>My client J has accepted my suggestions of colours,  (blogged a few weeks back) selected the design and paid her deposit, so that will also be under way very soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently my quiltmaking continues exploration of the ground between traditional quiltmaking and my interest in lace and leather.
