About this work

Doily of natural-colored bobbin lace: Bruges flowerwork. Round model with round center of batiste. The repeating pattern consists alternately of a C-scroll and rosette flower. The motifs are worked in net stitch and linen stitch with openwork edges. The motifs are accented by contour threads. In the flower hearts, a decorative ground is applied, a closed pin stitch ground. Between the motifs, some connections are made with double braids with picots, which form three-pointed stars. The scalloped edge derives from the pattern and is finished around with picots.
