About this work

Insertion of natural-colored Dutch bobbin lace. With small cutouts, a repeating pattern can be distinguished of a pointed oval clamped alternately at the top or bottom between two slightly larger round shapes. There is hardly any ground. The motifs are worked in linen stitch with openwork edges. The top and bottom are finished straight.
