About this work
Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Old Flemish lace. The repeating pattern consists of linked wavy flower stems, each with one flower and one leaf on either side of the stem. The flower consists of six lobes around a circular flower heart. The motifs are made in linen stitch with openwork edges and cutouts in the flower heart. The motifs are connected by a lattice ground: a five-hole ground. The top and bottom edges of the strip are finished straight.
