January 2025
My name is Susan and these are my web pages. I live near Haydock in the NW of the England.
My hobby is bobbin lacemaking (the real stuff not the artificial sort that is made by machines!). I’ve been making lace since I was about 15. I make bobbin lace (mainly Belgian laces and Honiton) for a hobby. My site contains information that may be of interest to other lacemakers. I also do beading so there are also some images of the pieces I have worked. I teach both lacemaking and beading and have a YouTube Channel with lacemaking videos for beginners plus videos linked to specific classes I teach. Some of my YouTube videos are available to all, others to students I’m teaching only.
The image above is a piece of Binche lace I have worked designed by Anne-Marie Verbeke-Billet of Brugge – the design is of the five towers of Brugge.
You can see more of my work under the Galleries section, the work have been split into separate sections for different laces/beading, sometimes there are multiple parts to a gallery. I have plans to add lots more images of my work in the next few months
You will also see some of my patterns and articles under Patterns (split into the different laces) and Articles sections. I will shortly have some patterns available on my Etsy Shop.
Hope you enjoy my site.
