Anyone use lace?
#14
Well, I have a quilting book that has a quilt with baskets and different kinds of lace line all the different baskets. And couldn't you use them to put around the edge of couch or chair pillows? I have made crocheted lace myself and I use it everywhere from bluejean jackets to putting on the edge of a wooden spool to get that kind of look from rags to riches. If you get started thinking you'll think of all kinds of ways to use it.

I've seen it used frequently as embellishment on quilts, and other assorted items. I've got a Dolly Days quilt on my bucket list, and have been cache-ing away bit and pieces to use on the outfits.

Dharma Trading Company has some really beautiful and soft-looking cotton lace on sale right now; it's dyeable too so I've thought about using it somehow in my 50th birthday scrap quilt....not sure how, though. Maybe just sewn across some of the scrappy squares before I surround them with other fabrics?????
