We-e-ll, I've got three projects on pillows - a tape lace doily that has

dolls. Another project just awaiting finishing is a cherry spray (pattern

I'm working on a beds hankerchief edging (pattern 11 from Barbara Underwood's
20 lessons) at the moment, and I've got a piece of bucks point in black silk

-can anyone think of a use for half a
bedspread?
Beth
how about a large floor cushion - make a dark blue floor cushion and use
your half a bed spread as a topper - mind you you'd have to sew down at a

Beth, you've just reminded me - I started a crochet tablecloth before we were
married nearly 39 years ago! I finished a 36 square one, then decided to add
more motifs to make it fit the dining table, which it nearly does, but then I
changed my square table to a round one! I can't bear to throw
Hello Beth,
Is the bedspread in squars? Than you could make very modern sleeves for
a blouse or a dress, take it with one of the corner in the middle of
the shoulder and sew on the two sides going from this point and ready
is it.
Greetings

No lace - I'm taking a scientific research cruise out into the North
Atlantic next week so no time for crafts.
However, I thought I'd try taking some knitted lace to sea with me, just in
case we spend days hove to in endless gales (again). I've not done any
before so may not get very far. Anyway,
I usually lurk, but thought I would mention that I am frantically working to
finish a Binche handkerchief edging before I have to move house. It's a fairly
simple one, from a 1999 issue of Kant. There are various other pillows with
unfinished workshop projects on them (I've become more disciplined
I'm impressed by all that is being done - most of it beyond me by the sound
of it. I have two piesec on pillows:
a wide insertion based on the Greek key pattern by Atkinson;
and a circular insertion designed by Jenny Hester for a UFO candle holder.
I also have in progress a cross stitch
