75 Motifs in less than 3 years!!

Number 22 is a little round-tuit.


Number 23 is a nice mix of open and filled spaces.

Number 24 is not quite what I was after, but could be tweeked.

Number 25 is a tatted take on a crochet granny square...maybe need the colours to see it, but that was the inspiration.

so there you have it...25 motifs of my own designs..the 3rd in less than 3 years! When I started this one, I thought I was crazy!!


I will post all 25 motifs over the weekend and find the most popular 15 of the collection to write up and publish.


BTW, I completed the last corner of my Bucks hankie today...only 7 more "hills" to go!!


Cheers for now, lace day tomorrow so watch this space come Sunday :)

Time to share a little

I have been working on Stage 1 of my Teaching Proficiency in torchon lace.


This week, I learned that I have passed :)


Here is a sneak peek at 2 of the projects in that folio.


This Thai Silk scarf was made with almost 200 bobbins. The pattern has been adapted from an oval doily centre.


Here is a close up of the pattern. I have not yet taken a pic of the finished scarf, but I will.

A couple of years ago, I participated in a secret pal exchange. This Oliver Twist thread and hankie fabric were part of my parcels. I played with Lace RX-P to come up with the design, then found that it had been published in Robin Lewis' 101 Torchon patterns.


And the pattern close up...


I really enjoyed these projects, and look forward to the next chapter :)


Have lots more to post, but need to take some pics and get organised!!


Hmmmmmm......I will get there!!
Meanwhile...thanks for dropping by. See you soon :)
