Below are some of the lace items from the Rachel B. Kay-Shuttleworth collection at Gawthorpe Hall to introduce the Inspired 2012 lace competition. The raised 3D effect of the Greek embroidery done in blanket stitch and the Belgian needle lace interested me.

The appliqué printed motifs on the cloth above have a worn, delicate look
that contrasts with the black ground. I would like to incorporate images under my satin stitch,
perhaps photo stitch or digital prints for a kind of advent calendar look!
