Hi all
Is anyone interested in taking over a fairly big needlelace project?
I started a one-piece collar of autumn leaves (my own design) just as
arthritis in my thumbs started to interfere with any needle-based craft
activity and am never going to be able to finish it - the cordonnet is
laid and a couple of fillings done (not very neatly, due to increasing
difficulty in manipulating needle & thread - they may need cutting out &
re-doing), and there it is, stuck in a cupboard; if anyone has the
needlelace skills, time & inclination to take it on, make it their own
and find a use for it, I will pass it on.
There are no instructions, and no plan for which fillings to use -
just a copy of the outline shaded to give a rough idea of colour
placement, a selection of small reels of silk thread (various
thicknesses and colours in an autumn leaf palette -
red/orange/yellow/green/brown) which may or may not be enough to
complete the collar and the started piece.
Please email me privately if you are interested - if more than one
person wants to take this on I will put the names in a hat & pick one
out. I will pay postage to anywhere worldwide.
And the raffle - a project I never got round to starting, embroidery
rather than lace. It is a kit to make a canvaswork evening bag: complete
magazine (New Stitches issue no.17 from 1994) including the instructions
for the bag, canvas, padding, press stud, glass beads and tapestry
needle. The only things not included are thread and lining fabric - you
will need 10 skeins of stranded cotton in a main colour and 7 in a
second colour of your choice (at the time I couldn't afford to buy those
at the same time as the kit, and for some reason I forgot about it and
never bought the thread).
If you would like to enter the raffle for this email me privately - I
will draw a winner on Sunday 10 Jan.
Regards
Beth
