Re: [lace] Willow Pattern Plate
A lovely looking piece of lace which I shouldn't have shown to my DH, g. Very unusual and very effective. Sue T Dorset UK Jean Nathan wrote I've finally finished my version of the Willow Pattern Plate designed by Jean Stacey (named 'Inspiration on a Plate' by her) which was featured in UK Lace Guild Magazine 'Lace' edition 128, October 2007 and have just uploaded to my Arachne Webshots album (Jean Nathan on the second page). The finished size is just short of A4. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com.

Very, very lovely! Take a deep bow!!

The finished size is just short of A4. There were no threads or instructions give, just a small picture of Jean's finished lace and an outline pattern. I decided to make it in blue - a light blue for the motifs with a double thread in navy to outline them and pick out some detail and white for the background to make it as much like a willow pattern plate as possible. I used Venus crochet thread and decided how to make variations in the stitches for the elements as I went. Must say that I found it very fiddly, especially finishing off each motif, and don't think I'll tackle anything like that again - I'll stick to continuous lace.

Re: [lace] Willow Pattern Plate
Thank you so much Bev for the do it the easy way link and thanks Daphne for your help too!! Grateful to you both because this is really beautiful. Congratulations Jean! I looked it up in Lace to see the pricking, isn't it amazing how you forget just what these magazines actually contain. All neatly filed and seldom looked at these days! I could find the webshots page but couldn't find the actual lace that I wanted to see. Obviously doing it wrong - again! Isn't it great that there is always someone here who can help you? Love and thanks, Sue. Cornwall. UK (Sunny, dry and very windy today). - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Willow Pattern Plate
Thanks to the kind help I received I have been able to see Jean's beautiful piece of work and am so glad I asked for help as it was well worth looking at. I loved the dark gimp which brought it to life. Many thanks, Sue. Cornwall. UK. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
