This picture answers a number of questions that visitors ask most often, or would ask if they could get close enough. The heart pattern was especially adapted to be worked on this replica bolster pillow and to fit the Hart Square theme. Visitors can also see a sample of tatting, which is a lace technique that many have seen made by some member of their own family. I also have examples of needle lace, Battenberg lace, and display finished samples of other lace styles, as well as pillows with a variety of lace pieces in progress. I keep my 'cheat' sheets peeping out, to help give as complete a picture of bobbin lace and the process as I can since this may be the only time that some will ever see this technique in person.
