This interesting piece of Flanders lace was worked by Margaret Cook.

This is a Flanders pattern called Lenten Lily. It is one of Anne Marie Billiet's patterns (from Bruges). I worked on it for a year whilst at the same time learning the basics of Binche Lace. I am always attracted to patterns with unusual edges: bits "sticking out" or bands of plain cloth in the border that have a variety of twists to make it a bit more interesting. I posted it to Bruges to have it joined and mounted on linen.
