Unfortunately a change in working hours meant that I had to drop out of unlimited textiles group.
This year I will follow Sharons Stitch Explorer with interest but will not partake, I hope to take part in some of the monthly swaps with unlimited textile and I have a brand new challenge to start in March prompted by this post on Jennys blog.
We are both lace makers, my favourite traditional lace is Bucks Point,
I have only tried Bedfordshire lace once.
We both have this book
As both of my samples are around 15 years old, I need the practise. SO we have decided that in March we will start to work through this book together! A joint challenge taking part on both sides of the world!! Isn't the Internet fantastic.

My pillow is out & I am desperately trying to finish the piece that is on it in readiness! Might just be easier to make a new pillow. This will be so cool!
this is a great idea you and Jenny doing a challenge together - spur each other on! the second sample looks like needlewoven picots - but i guess they are the 'proper' lace ones ;).
A good luck to Jenny and you for your Bucks point lessons.
I have study with a book, the french Bayeux Lace who look like the Bucks Point.
