The Headford Lace Project: Lace Matrix was expertly designed by Róisín de Buitléar and Jackie Magnin @RdeBuitlear @headfordlace
Work is continuing on #LaceMatrix @galway2020 today, with Ger expertly weaving in the thread ends, as you can see below. It is quite intense work, as you can imagine there are a lot of ends to weave. But it is progressing! @RdeBuitlear We should have more photos to share soon!
