Performance Time by grammyn

Performance Time

Today I used this fancy "spaceship" of a machine to make a wedding garter for my granddaughter who is getting married next month. It will be special because it has lace from three generations of her family. The first lace on the left is from my supply, the middle lace was made by her great, great grandmother, and the lace on the right is from her great grandmother's supply that I now have. The little bit of diagonal white lace is a piece from the maid of honor's dress at my wedding. In the upper right corner you see the finished version.
wow! you're good. now, can that machine fly to the moon?

Something blue would complete all the requirements. (Even if made from vintage fabrics, the garter itself is new.)
Beautiful capture of the lace.
