Hello All! There's a new issue in my lace world this week. After borrowing several books from the IOLI library, I wanted to try to make some "eggs" for our library exhibit next spring. There is a pattern (pg 10) in "Gekloppelte Ostereier" by Annelies Kirst that looks interesting but it is a ground I do not recognize. There is a small diagram for Sternchengrund (by Brigitte Bellon) but no directions. I looked in "The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches" & there are some similar stars, but not the one in the Kirst book. Is anyone familiar with this ground & would you be willing to share the order of the work/stitches? The diagram makes no sense to me so any suggestions would be most welcome. BTW--as an update, I was able to successfully use the advice I received last week for making a backstitch & sewing in the same space. Working in a new section of my project, I used your picot pin trick to make large pinholes. What a difference when making sewings! In spite of running o! ut of thread & various other booboos, I finished a flower outline so I'm pleased & encouraged to move on & try a fancy leaf. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
