Lace finish - finally!!!

Hi everyone - I don't seem to have been in a very crafty mood lately so finishing my lace bookmark finally seems like a major achievement!! I seemed to get myself in a right mess when I was trying to do the plait at the end so pretty much said 'stuff it!' and hoped it turned out alright! ;-)

Here's a pic of the finished lace:
I have also managed to finish all of the coloured stitching on the stained glass tulips I started whilst on holiday. I still think it looks very effective with just the white gaps!! I will fill in all of the black stitches though, as they will probably bring the design to life.




I hope everyone else is in a more creative mood than me at the moment! Happy stitching!!!!

Well done on finishing. Would love to see a close-up without the pins. Any chance?

Thanks Jenny. I'll try and post a pic over the weekend - I always hate the last part and taking the pins out!!

Congrats on finishing the bookmark. My lace has been very neglected of late, must pick it up again.

The tulips look lovely - it will be fun to see how different they look when you've added the black

Impressive work! I really like the tulips with the white too, will be interesting to see what it looks like with the black outline.
