Hi All, My "best" piece is back on my lounge room wall, Eeva-Liisa's Crucifixion. Made is specifically for my Dad's 80th birthday and he gave it back to me when he "downsized" as he moved in with one of my brothers. Incidentally, he turned 91 2 weeks ago.
I have made dresses, pop over style, for my two eldest (now 8 and 7) for winter with a strip of torchon on the bottom. Lots of crochet lace in Wedding packages over the years. For Bobbin lace, I make it with the intention of being "useful" but it does not always work out. Have a number of lengths in a special box waiting for something to be sewn on to, including a piece for a top for myself. The one piece I sewed onto a square for a quilt was not my work. When the Kosova ladies were at one of the local Army barracks, one of them made a knotted needle lace doily which went into one of the Childrens' Charity quilts. Have a basic plan on my Bucket List to do a cream-on-cream quilt for a special purpose, with some handmade lace on it. Finishing things is a problem for me - usually will finish part but the actual "finishing", e.g., mounting onto linen is often the problem.
