When I decided to enter the card exchange I didn't know where to begin but
finally did what I did, but I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the
pictures of the lovely cards.
A would like to add my voice to the thanks for all the free patterns but
mostly all the invaluable help and advice which wings its way around the
world. So many different ideas and truly appreciated.
Some months ago I asked about italian lace styles and realised what I was
trying to do was almost impossible. I went around it another way in the
end, I chose a very elegant pattern from a fairly old book and have just
completed the 4th strip so will make the napkins up in the new year. I am
hoping they will compliment the table and not clash or jar in anyway. One
of the stitches was one I never learned at the lessons but found in a new
book to me last year (Building Torchon Lace Patterns by bridget cook) the
stitch was triangular ground which looks good in the pattern. I had done it
once in the sampler but had to relearn for this project, after 4 napkin
strips I am now managing pretty well with it. Time to check out some of the
other brilliant grounds in that sampler.
Anyway I wanted to say I had made the lace for them and thank all those who
helped with their advice and directions of where and what lace might work.
Have a wonderful christmas everyone wherever you are, I am feeling very smug
as I spent last night finishing off some ufo's that have been sitting around
since the summer and all but one are now in use with the decorations and
that one needs spraying and drying before it joins them.
