Re: [lace] Needle-lace blog
I cut my little leaf from the working base, and have updated my blog with a picture. I can see room for improvement, but I am pleased it stayed in one piece when I removed my couching. I have enjoyed working my first piece of needle lace so much I've already started another. It's a little ornament for the ornament exchange of our lace group. Once again I have to thank Aurelia for putting these lessons on her blog. I never thought to try needle lace, and now my mind is reeling with possibilities.

RE: [lace] Needle-lace blog
Oh I am S excited myself...I am going to do the leaf and I went to that site for that Dillmont book and found whole lots of other books and leaflets etc to help me learn stitches etc. I am going to try to make a sampler out of the Plate VIII in Dilmont's Needle Point Lace book. That way I can try all the different stitches. I also want to try to do it with the stitches currently in place. I think I am going to really like this. Something that I can actually carry with me to work on. The Dillmont book was a great pattern book but there are a couple of others that are more how too books. Anyway...busy busy busy trying to learn. Love that I already have most of the stuff I need being I do bobbin lace, tat, crochet etc...Going to use color in this so I can see what I am doing from row to row... Wish me luck...thanks for the inspiration...

Lesson 5, Cutting from the Working Base, the fifth and last entry of my Needle Lace in Five Easy Lessons, is now available on my blog http://aurelove.blogster.com. I have really enjoyed doing this bit of online teaching, and am grateful to those of you who have written back about your experience with these lessons. I am about to put on a new blogster-hat. From here on out, for the next few weeks or months, I shall be putting out on my blog a novel-in-progress. Nothing to do with lace (at least, not so far), nothing to do with Tina. I am still as much of a devoted lacemaker as ever. This is my second novel. My first one, published years ago by William Morrow, was called The Good Wife. This one will be called (I think) A Look in the Mirror. Wish me luck!

Re: [lace] Needle-lace blog
I have been following the lessons, and have some pictures on my blog. http://tatt3r-lace.blogspot.com I tried the Side Stitch this weekend, but took it out last night. I think I started my first row with the stitches too close together, and toward the end my stitches were crowded. I needed to leave out stitches at the edge to follow the curve of the leaf, and that gave me trouble for some reason. I'll sit down tonight and see if I can conquer the Side Stitch. Your second diagram is much clearer, and I think that will help a little. I like making needle lace, it's very different from tatting or bobbin lace. I've done a lot of sewing, and it's relaxing to settle down with only a needle and thread. Thanks for posting these lessons, I would never have tried needle lace on my own.

Re: [lace] Needle-lace blog
I have to add a note of appreciation, too. I've been inspired to follow the lessons. I'm a total novice when it comes to needle lace, and I am pleased I can keep up with Aurelia's lessons. You can take a peek at my needle lace, after lesson 3a, on my blog. http://tatt3r-lace.blogspot.com Lenore in SW Michigan From: Aurelia Loveman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lessons 3 and 3a (The Lace Fillings and Cloth Stitch) are now available on my blog http://aurelove.blogster.com.
