Hello to all, I'm looking for a large pattern for a tablecloth. I know that this will be a mamoth project but I would prefer a pattern which is "all lace" instead of inserts. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one - I must be honest and say that I prefer Torchon lace to any others but anything would be great. Thanks in advance. Regards, Babs I wanted to make a large lace table cloth and after looking at lots of patterns plumped for 2 to choose from. Veronica Sorenson's Modern Lace Designs (sadly out of print) has a fantastic table cloth which is 54" square and can be adapted to virtually any size. This works on a centre square that you then make borders around until you have the full size. But the one that I'm going to make (I'm winding the bobbins at this time) is from Bridget M Cook's 'The Torchon Lace Workbook'. Because the centre panel is a pure square you can make as many as you want for the centre part and then put the border patterns around them. So, you could make the simple hearts and flowers mat which would give you a square mat about 15" square or any size you like - including if you made the centre squares say 3 x 2 a rectangular mat. Hope this helps Regards Liz in London I'm back _blogging_ (http://journals.aol.com/thelacebee/thelacebee) my latest lace piece - have a look by clicking on the link or going to _http://journals.aol.com/thelacebee/thelacebee_ (http://journals.aol.com/thelacebee/thelacebee) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
