I know that this is not strictly lace, but I have finished a hardanger tablecloth that I have been working on for nine months!!!! :-) I have seen hardanger defined as a varient of needlelace.....
The cloth is 1.35 metres square, and I adapted a doily pattern that I liked. I repeated it four times in the centre to form a large block of embroidery, then repeated the edge motif (again and again and again) to form a border. I am very pleased with the results. It is a gift for my son and his wife. Actually it is their engagement gift, but they had a short engagement and I also made waistcoats, bowties and dorothy bags for the wedding, so they have had to wait. Now to my lace pillow.... have I been hanging out for this!
