LACEMAKERS OF PUGET SOUND - WITHOF LACE CLASS

Taught by Yvonne Scheele-Kerkhof

The members of Lacemakers of Puget Sound were fortunate to host Yvonne Scheele-Kerkhof for a wonderful three-day class on Withof Lace on August 7-9, 2004. Yvonne is a great teacher and a delightful lady. Each student received a great deal of individual instruction, and each progressed at her own pace. We all learned many new techniques and tricks.

Yvonne displayed the Withof Lace shown below, and graciously granted permission for the photographs to be shown on this page.

The beautiful handkerchief shown below is Duchesse Lace, from which Withof was developed. The handkerchief is approximately 15" square.
