Has anyone made any of Eeva-Liisa Kortelahti's patterns - the religious ones? They are for sale on the Lacemaker site
http://www.lacemakerusa.com/ I am interesting in ordering and trying one - has anyone an idea of the level of difficulty? Rose-Marie Abbotsford, BC, Canada looks like we'll see the sun today! ====================================================== Hi Rose-Marie, I have purchased two of those lace pictures, The Vine and The Good Shepherd. The technique is not difficult, mostly Torchon grounds, which Eeva-Liisa uses in very imaginative ways. But they are large. The Vine is almost 24" wide and 30" long. It requires mostly 70/3 Pella linen, but the leaves add 50/3 Pella linen workers to add definition to the central motif. The working drawing is right on the pricking itself. I find everything to be clearly marked. I made a deal with a quilter friend at church to make a backing for The Vine so we can present it as a hanging. Now I just have to make the lace!
