I am making this angel for my Uncle's wedding gift, a quilted treeskirt. It is a big family project, with many people pitching in. I just started this piece today with my lace teacher. Its pattern is a type of lace called Idrija lace. It is kind the lace traditionally made in Slovenia, which is where my teacher's ancestors were from. It is supposed to be made on a bolster pillow rather than a "cookie" pillow. Anyway, it is my teacher's specialty. It was cool. Alot of weird tensioning, but that was ok. I really enjoyed it, even though it uses kinda thick thread. :)
