Paint you own bobbin with Jacqui
You will have the opportunity to paint your own lace bobbin with Jacqui at the next meeting to be held on Saturday 4 August. Make sure that you are there from 10:00 so that there is time for your bobbin to dry before you leave. Jacqui has some ideas for bobbins with a Preston Guild theme and will write on them if you wish. Not all members will be painting bobbins, so if you wish to just join us to make lace, come along.
Jacqui will also be bringing her lace supplies so if you want to shop, this is an excellent opportunity. Why not get some silver thread for your Preston Guild bookmark?
