Lace Making in the Summer Olympics Closing

Ok - just watching the closing ceremonies and I was in fact... making lace.  So I look up and lo and behold it was surreal to see the dance number celebrating bobbin lace making with a huge pillow with pins in it and a 'dancing' lace doily on the floor plus dozens of ladies in large lace patterns.  AMAZING!

    I didn't realize you were a lacemaker too! That's great! My pillow is empty right now as I'm trying to get in some stitching time. I tend to foucus on one hobby or the other for a few weeks depending on my mood.

    now I wish I'd watched the closing ceremonies! I prefer French lace types (have Chantilly and Lille patterns on my pillows currently), but this is quite lovely! Thanks for focusing on this!
